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 mean I started as a femboy, but I've transitioned since- I wasn't forced or anything, my girlfriend is a total tomboy and she's the best, but she's, well, a she.

If they’re not trans, they’re not trans. If they’re trans, they’re trans. You can be trans and a femboy or tomboy, too.

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)

Well yeah definitely its not the ppl transitionings fault but unintentionally they validate what the ppl say and it just intensifies

trans people existing wouldn’t stop them from misinterpreting your identity tho. even if it did, it’d be the smallest influence. they’d just be weird abt it in different ways if trans people didn’t exist

Yeah fair it just gets annoying after a while of explaining you arent trans and arent ever gonna be trans while they say things about me being next. Like its not the transitioning ppls fault but part of me still blames them anyways when theyre not the ones saying these things to me

yeah I get that 😭 I despise egg culture so much for that exact reason. idk how people can’t comprehend that GNC people can be secure in their identity and aren’t either “uncracked eggs” or “misguided men that need to learn to be masculine” ;-;

And this is perfectly fine too, I’m just sick of this trope that people think that all/majority trans people think femboys and tomboys are “eggs waiting to crack”

Yeah no, we don't at all, I've had chronically online girls try to call my girlfriend an egg, she's not, it's literally a small vocal subsect of the community that does that
