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.

    That’s not the message or takeaway from this post, it is that boys can be feminine without being trans.

      right but then why define being trans as having transitioned? why not just say
      “femboys are boys who dress, act, and/or look feminine. Trans girls are girls who were assigned male at birth and identify as female”

        Transition can refer to a lot of different things, not just medical transition. if you start to ask others to call you by different pronouns for example that’s a form of social transition even if you’ve only chosen to come out to a few people

        edit: To clarify I’m not saying you need to have even done that step to be valid as a trans person, it’s just likely that no one would know you’re trans unless you’ve at least taken that step
