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.

    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
