Please bare with me I’m trying to disprove a Twitter argument to some irl conservatives I know- Tomboys≠trans dude Femboy≠trans woman If someone identifies as a tomboy/femboy it doesn’t mean they should be trans and should be respected
#poll
Yes they should be trans
No, idc if they identify as a tb/fb

Supposedly people think that majority of trans people push tomboys/femboys into being trans or push tomboys/femboys into identifying with trans labels but I’m having a hard time believing that fellow trans folks would try to force that or be disrespectful on how others want to identify

I will say as a femboy myself ive gotten questions and tokens of support from supportive ppl not homophobes or transphobes for me being a trans woman. And im just not but its only been made worse with online femboys and such coming out as trans or taking hrt and stuff so ppl just think im a trans woman who hasnt discovered yet. Its like im not im just a boy who likes feminine things

Explore your identify in any way you want but if someone is happy and content being a tomboy/femboy then why try to push for anything else? I’m pretty damn sure majority are pretty damn respectful of this, I’m confused as to why they think we’re trying to push tomboys/femboys into being trans??

former femboy here. I’m the only femboy I’ve ever known who had a bad experience with trans people, and (if anything) it just made me take longer to finally transition. my experience only happened because she was a weird person, it had little to do with her transness. the only people who “force” transition are fetishizers & chasers (who are VERY rarely trans themselves)

that’s not really an issue of people transitioning, it’s more of an issue with cishets assuming shit abt your identity (which they would do even if other femboys hadn’t transitioned)
