Femboys are boys who dress, act, and/or look feminine.

Trans girls are girls who were assigned male at birth and identify as girls.

I hope this clears up any misconceptions on the subject.

    I don’t think Astolfo is a femboy cause they never refer to themselves as a boy and the japanese games use neutral pronouns. Big non-binary energy.

      I thought there was a scene where he acknowledges he was a boy and just wears the clothes he wants?

        Grand Order uses they/them and their gender is [Redacted] in the stats.

        Things change, eggs crack, etc

        Plus they’re not real

          That’s not an uncommon thing for that kinda archetype. There is a reason there was another word for it back in the day.

            Right, soooo that would make him a make following that archetype which was my original question. I’m not a fate expert but I know for example Ferris/Felix is much closer to trans in the source material than they are in the anime

              Yes astolfo is probably a man. Especially considering the main characterization of him is being troll-y, he uses masculine pronouns (boku) and Japan knows trans people exist and will actually put them into stories, unlike what the other guy seems to think. Oh and he’s confirmed as a man in other material, apparently.
