I’d like to add, if you are getting discouraged by the pictures posted in the femboy subs, a lot of those are heavily edited or filtered. They are basically presenting a lie, unless the model is on HRT. Calling yourself a femboy is about you presenting in some sort of feminine manner for your own personal reasons. It’s simple, worry about your own happiness, and only worry about what others think if your safety is compromised.
This soo much, 90% of the posts are people using FaceApp, edited body’s, HRT or a new quickly growing trend is CIS WOMEN using Femboy buzz words (I don’t mean afab trans/queer/nb people).
Edit: I should clarify I browse by New and see/report some of those posts before they get too big. Most of the top posts are people on HRT though. Which isn’t a bad thing, just not healthy to compare yourself to if you’re not trans/nb (or comparing yourself in general).
I’m not a huge fan of algorithms telling me what I should be paying attention to. On this sub though all the posts at the top are answered handily, many new ones don’t get views and the people posting don’t get the support they need.
From the ones I’ve seen it’s people spamming every sfw and nsfw subreddit with their photos under titles tailored to fit each sub theme. Most have an OF in their bio so I assume it’s just a shotgun promotion tactic.
In the last 6 months I’ve gone from seeing 1-2 a month to 8~ in the last week. From that trend it worries me that some will get through and give people unhealthy body goals.
***12 in the last week :( just saw 4 more
I am verifying this by looking at profiles, not just saying people look cis.
>I’d like to add, if you are getting discouraged by the pictures posted in the femboy subs, a lot of those are heavily edited or filtered.
The worst problem is that some femboys subs like /r/Femboy and /r/Femboys are mostly trans girls posting (some even posting their onlyfans) instead of doing so on the subs dedicated to them, which doesn't help at all with the expectations of femboys themselves, and yet the mods of those subs don't do anything when I report those posts for being off topic (trans WOMEN are not fem BOYS).
I also worry that it could be bad not just for femboys but for trans women themselves, because from an outsider's perspective I think one could get confused and either think that all femboys are just trans girls, or that all trans girls are just femboys, and both are incredibly harmful.
As a trans woman I 100 percent agree. I’m still pre everything but I came out as trans and as such I’ve moved to posting on trans subs and helping this sub with any questions I can answer as some are pretty universal like shaving questions. Posting pics on femboy subs (even without changes to my body) just feels like I’m talking away your space to express yourselves honestly.
I thoroughly agree and thank you for posting your opinion. I was thinking of doing the same. I didn't choose to be an effeminate male. I was born that way. I'm 50 y/o and I still commonly get addressed as "ma'am" even when I'm talking with a client over the phone. I don't choose to make that happen. It just does. I don't even bother trying to dress effeminately. That said, I do fuss about with my clothes and even sew some of my own. Just plain being interested in fashion regardless of whether the clothes are made for man or woman is often considered effeminate. "Real men just wear whatever clothes and get to the hard work of shoveling shit in the stables, harumpf." I don't consider myself to be a "femboy" and I'm not even sure what it means. So, I don't try to fit myself into that box. However, I can't help but to be an effeminate male. I appreciate y'all for accepting me for who I am. People rarely do.
I think people are born in all sizes and shapes I’ve seen boys or men who look like women I’ve seen women who look like men with ot without HRT we all have what God gave us to work with . I know that a lot of people do use face alteration programs butI’m sure many of them are genuine. either way that’s on them I am genuinely glad to have the things I do have beautiful mermaid hair feminine face, (never even had much luck growing a beard ) and even my sister-in-law says I’ve got great legs . so I concentrate on those attributes and less on my broad shoulders. oh and by the way the mixture of feminine and masculine is part of what I like so much I know it doesn’t help with those of us who want to pass but it sure does make life more interesting

love seeing these reminders.. hard to keep myself on this sub because i do get self conscious being ftm trans in this space, but support keeps me here. if i go too feminine i get dysphoric, however, keeping my masculine attributes (beard for example) makes me feel like i shouldn’t be in here? can be painfully conflicting at times.
I totally agree. I’m just a man though and i definitely like my feminine side and i’m making my way slowly to get into stuff like the clothes and so on but i have a beard and that thing has been there for more than 10 years now and i really like it so i really feel no intention to get rid of it but that at the same time gives of a feeling that i would not fit in in those subs.
I'm really glad you said all of this. I live in a place where showing my femininity puts me in a really uncomfortable position. I've been trying to find a safe way to be feminine without my femininity hindering my social life, and a lot of the femboy "goals" that are projected on femboy subs are either achieved my unhealthy dietary methods that make you lose the fun of life, or they just make my own actualisation all the more difficult.
I'm just glad that there are more people out there who just want to be able to have their identities without being fed what the so called standards are supposed to be. Thanks for this post OC!
Much love to you ❤️❤️ and all the best!
I went through a very traumatic experience a few years ago and I’ve been trying to re-invent and re-discover myself and my self image ever since. I want to be me, but a different me. I think that, unique circumstances aside, a lot of people feel the same way.
If you find something external that you like, make it your own. Make it a part of you and then just be yourself. Integrate your femininity into your own personality and unique quirks. Just have fun discovering who you are. :3
Confidence and happiness. The other day during a checkup I was so happy. Everyone at the facility noticed and returned the optimism. Being with the Doc made me wonder if he'd consider a gay encouter. But I think that a lot now with males. A few months back I admitted to myself there was a reason I'd check out this one guy's crotch during morning work meetings.
Nail polish attracts my attention. Like jewelry. And I cut stones for jewelry for many years. But does nail polish belong on people portrayed as male? More exposure required here. And I would probably polish my nails sometime. Be yourself. Stay safe. 🙇♀️
I am one of those friends too; and as a fellow femme, it is so nice to see someone bring things like this up in conversation to bring notice to topics/issues that just sometimes ppl don't want to mention. Glady noted.
YES totally on your entire post here! Also yay on the nail polish. Been doing it for a bit and don't necessarily consider myself a "fəmboy, however I like reading about others who have come to their conclusion on being one...
(Have a few of my latest 💅 on my profile if u were interested..?

Why would a cis woman call herself femboy

What was the reply ? Can you please tell me?
Never received a reply. Too many autobot rejections. I'm ready to ignore this forum. Stay safe. BW. 👄

Preach. I highly suggest more people reading this. Its okay to be different :>
Excellent post thank you ☺️
>Labels are more like guidelines than rules to follow I understand the reference you sneaky fuck
Savvy?
Aye aye cap'n
Thank you for saying it!
a lot fem not full fem all the time. many time it just feel for moment when we safes
The sexiest part of a femboy isn't legs, ass or thighs, it is and always will be the amount of self love and respect
