Addressing the transphobia in the community

I believe a good number of people have good intentions about how they interact with the trans/nonbinary femboys. I think these spaces are supportive overall, but there's some things that bug me when interacting with some people.

Whenever someone who isn't born male has an issue, or is trying to discover if they're a femboy: there's this hostility that they are met with. They won't directly say "trans people can't be femboys" instead it will be subtle: "females/women can't be femboys" even if OP never called themselves a woman.

Or if a trans femboy gives advice on getting a more "feminine" body to a cis male femboy they get downvoted to hell for "having it easy". Just acknowledging that you aren't a cis male will get met with downvotes and crude comments. It's so weird, especially since most people here are apart of the lgbt community where we preach about acceptance.

Let's stop with the gatekeeping. You don't have to be male to consider yourself a femboy neither do you need to hate your body to be trans.

I know this post will ruffle some feathers, but if you're trans/nonbinary or don't feel aligned with being afab: then you are valid and welcomed here. Don't let anyone make you feel like an outlier.

Edit: Ok since some people are missing the point: a cis woman who identifies as a woman isn't a femboy, but trans men/non-cis males CAN be femboys. Thank you.
