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.

    surely the only difference is what they identify as?

    sounds like you already know the difference, where’s the disagreement? dudes can be fem without being trans gals

      the disagreement is that i think people don’t need to transition to be trans, they just need to identify as a different gender than they were assigned at birth.

        i’m trans and i don’t disagree, i’m just confused how you’re getting “pre transition trans girls are femboys” (a statement that i agree is wrong and problematic) out of this meme. people who identify as boys but present femme aren’t trans girls either way, one layer of this meme is about them getting lost in the noise about trans women.

        I think this is a misunderstanding, you and OP both agree on that point. OP just didn’t clarify that pre-transition trans people are still trans in the post lol
