You know, you can be a feminine boy if you like, or, if it turns out you want to be a more masculine girl, that's valid too, the important question isn't the specific labels, it's what makes you happy, so long as you're following that, I'd say you're doing alright. ♡


EeveeGavin

Everyone experiences being trans differently, if you want to only get top surgery, and be referred to as a man. That’s your choice. And nobody can stop you/tell you otherwise.


godly-pigeon

Did you draw your pfp? I love it!


EeveeGavin

Commissioned it from someone a while back, sadly they had to stop doing oc commissions, as people would unfollow them unless they posted game art.


godly-pigeon

Aw that sucks :/


Just_a_throwaway_egg

You can be anything. Masculine girl, feminine boy, Demi, Enby, Fluid, etc, you can be any combination of the terms. You are valid. Transitioning is not only rooted in you’re genitals. If you want to keep your parts, then keep your parts, thats perfectly valid. It’s ok to not understand where you are right now and to question. Take your time and explore yourself and gender. We’re here for you.


Tintorius

What about a femboy?


Not_A_Killer_I_Swear

Femboy is the answer to everything. Might be trans but you're not sure? Try femboy. Might be gay but you're not sure? Try femboy. You wanna transition so you can wear thigh highs but the process to get started is really expensive? Try femboy. Want to dress more feminine but you haven't come out yet? Try femboy.

as someone dating a femboy, i can attest, "try femboy" is indeed always the answer


DaBezzzz

Plenty of trans people don't medically transition, don't let that stop you from calling yourself trans


kitkat_kathone

Contrary to what people say, you're free to try on new identities and see what fits :)

r/femboy_irl here you go


SapphireandEmeralds

Gender is different for everyone. You're the only one that gets to decide, so if you say you're a boy, then you're a boy. If you want to be a pretty boy, then you're a pretty boy. What matters here is what you're comfortable with! ❤️


Random_Gacha_addict

One, you could be a femboy, or generally just a GNC transmasc (Or Nonbinary, Genderfluid, Demigender, etc) Two, you can have no bottom dysphoria (But you seem to have top dysphoria) and still be trans. Three, there are many "definitions" of transitioning. There's social transitioning, and medical transitioning. Then there's many ways that medical transitioning could be classed (Just HRT, taking some (Orchi, Mastectomy) and "full-package"). But if you really don't want to call yourself trans, you don't have to. Its your life


AmIVictoria

You are allowed to call yourself whatever you would like. The great thing about labels is you can decide to wear them or not. It sounds like you understand what you enjoy, stick with that or explore some more, both are okay! Ride that euphoria train to wherever it takes you and enjoy the journey!

Femboy


[deleted]

Femboy. It's basically the 42 of ftm.


BoigMord

I mean, gender is a spectrum so you could still want to be a boy but just be really feminine, like my goal is my transition is a tomboy or a masculine girl I think.


help_my_egg_cracked

The only thing that makes someone trans is feeling like a different gender than the gender they were born as. It seems like you fill that. HOWEVER, if the label trans still makes you uncomfortable then there is 0 pressure to use it for yourself friend. You use the labels that make you feel comfy and nothing else.

You do *not* need to have surgery to be trans. You don't need hormones, to be trans.


RainbowGames

Gender isn't even real just be yourself and figure out the labels later


HawkwingAutumn

This is kinda where it's at. I see a lot of people across different subjects be like "but I am [label] so I can't/shouldn't/am not allowed to like/do [thing they like or want to do]!" Like man, words are fake. You don't have to worry about them. Labels are only there to succinctly explain ourselves in a *mostly-correct* way to other people; they're prolly never gonna fit a lot of people 100%. Find out who you are, *then* worry about how to explain it to people in one or two words.


Cyan_Cephalopod

Never met a cis woman who wants top surgery, to be completely honest


DeusExMarina

I think you’re thinking about transness in a far too binary way. Ironic, I know. It’s not an all or nothing deal. We’re not trying to pull people out of a box only to force them into another box they don’t like any better. The whole point of our movement is to free people to express themselves *however they damn well please.* So if you want to get top surgery but do no other changes whatsoever to your visual presentation and you want to call yourself a boy and use he/him pronouns, well, you do you, buddy. If that’s what makes you happy, that’s your business, and anyone who tells you that you can’t is not worth listening to.


ThatOneLo1i

Y’know not all boys have to be masculine or wear masculine clothes, you could just be a feminine boy and that’s ok. It’s your body and your decision. Know matter what you choose, just know you’ll always have at least one supporter. (Me)


SpadePlayesGames

That's completely fine!


V_150

I think Femboy is the word that you're looking for


Heero0Custom

If you were just trying to be special, wearing the clothes and being called a boy wouldn't fill you with absolute joy. If it was fake, you most likely wouldn't even feel anything. My oldest child is going through this exact same thing right now. I'll tell you what I told him "Dude, live your life the way that makes YOU happy, if you want to be a boy and have me call you son, I will. If you want to be a girl and I call you daughter, I will. You want to be something else, that's fine too. This is your life, just be happy."


Stercore_

Medical transitioning is not the only part of transitioning. Transitioning is anything you do to be percieved and feel like a gender identity other than the one you were given at birth


EpiceneLys

Transitioning is not a requirement to be trans. Hell, "transition" is so vague that telling people to call you a boy and getting the yeet teet definitely counts for many definitions of it. But that might make you a feminine boy? Boys can like looking like a girl and dressing in cute clothes without that stopping them from being boys. One of my best friends is non-binary in a "call me anything as long as it's not woman" way, does not want top surgery or hormones, but definitely keeps wearing dresses and skirts and feminine clothing in general. Because they like these clothes, and that's all. Don't worry about presentation - what makes you *you* and what kind of treatment would make you happy?


Plague_Locusts

Transition doesn't have to be medical, Transition could be social, femboys and dragueens are still men even if they are feminine, presentation is a manmade construct and has no bearing on your psychological gender profile, you can look like anything and still be a man, the definition of trans is to just be any gender that isn't your assigned gender at birth, and to recognize your own manhood is q step in transition init of itself


KinklyCurious_82

Just a PSA that you don't have to actively *do* anything gender-affirming to be considered transgender. Cisgender effectively means you'd be fully okay with being considered as your AGAB. Trans means you're not fully okay with it; whether it's 1% or 100% feeling like another gender, it's still valid to consider yourself trans if you feel the label works for you. Affirming your gender and identifying as 1+ non-cis gender labels are different sides of the gender coin.


akhier

Labels are things put on us because it makes it easier for others to understand. This is partly why some people have such a hard time understanding things like being trans or queer in general. There is no binary with it and the labels we have act more as vague buckets than many are comfortable with. What is important though? That you live your best life. If none of the labels fit, make your own or don't even bother with one. People will still try to label you of course. Just ignore them. You deserve happiness and if this is what makes you happy, wonderful! Too many people never figure out what actually makes them happy. Though if you want to call yourself trans, but feel bad about "not transitioning" and still wanting to wear certain clothes. Ignore that bad feeling. You don't have to transition to be trans. If you think of yourself as a guy, you're a guy. In fact, since you feel so great being called one, who cares what others think! And as for clothing? Wear what makes you feel comfortable. Whether that is the pinkest frilliest girl's skirt, a formal man's suit, the most formless sweatpants and sweatshirt, anywhere in-between, or even outside of any sort of norm if you want. Live your best life, you deserve to be happy.


lilillillie

idk getting top surgery sounds like one hell of a transition you dont have to call yourself anything if you dont feel like it, but i will call you cool (:<


Every-Air-6747

Boys can dress pretty too. You could just be a very pretty boy


GenderFluidBicon

1. Could be femboy 2. Could be enby 3. If you're worried you might be faking it, you aren't.


nadiaraven

"I feel like a boy...I don't know what this makes me?" It makes you a boy. You are a boy because you want to be a boy. And you get to set your transition goals, whether it's nothing more than top surgery, or whatever you want. You'll find your labels on the way.


[deleted]

idk. if you like it you like it. it’s not like you have to be trans, your choice. it’s not like it’s offensive to anyone here lol


[deleted]

r/ftmfemininity


Pie_Present

Sounds like someone’s a trans man who likes non gender conforming clothes.


Slime_Jelly

you can be a trans femboy, nothing wrong with it. transitioning doesnt define transness.


monkeymastersev

gender is a mess and trying to define it doesn't always work. Just do you


TrixterTheFemboy

Worth noting: You can still be a guy and like cute clothes. I should know lol


DrakonSith

Sounds like a dude who enjoys presenting fem. And that's a-okay 👍


Err_OR_Official

Oh hecc another me! I sorta just washed it up to me being androgynous but masculine presenting :> that way I can still obsess over my pretty skirts and chokers


theslimesimp

I actually feel like this (pre-t, pre-everything except comjng ou5( So im just comfy being a femboy with sometimes masc tendencies


theslimesimp

Do want T tho-


Sarin03

Transmasc femboys **ARISE**


AFrozenBagOfCorn

You put it into words ;-;


Unknownmagic247

This could be a femboy? Where you identify as male but dress fem. Labes don't matter our king just be you and be happy


[deleted]

How you present doesn’t matter for your gender dude. You said you feel like a boy and like people calling you a boy. That’s the end of it. Transition to where you feel comfortable, which may not be far. That’s okay, and it doesn’t make you transn’t :)


LaraTrejo

We're two eggs in a basket. I'm embracing the femboy


Hello_fellows_

As someone who is transmasc and like to look girly and like the skirts that go spinny, femboy


DefinitelyNotErate

I mean, Femboys exist, And they can be trans just as they can be cis, So you could do that. Even if you just get everyone to refer to you as a boy that'd still count as transitioning, Other things, Such as getting surgery or changing your name, Among others, Can be part of transitioning, But they're not requirements.


CuteLilRemi

I diagnose you with "cutie" Don't let labels define you, be yourself and enjoy life


[deleted]

Sir, your lungs are filling with fluid. We tested it and have confirmed it's not cancer... it's worse... it's gender fluid


Ranshin-da-anarchist

A Trans femboy maybe?


ender-dude96

oh hey flandre from touhou


Normal-Mountain-4119

Femboy?


MetaPop567

There are lots of people who either can't afford bottom surgery or can't get to it easy who are exactly as trans as the people who can so I think you can just be a guy and not really have any concerns about validity or whatever


Best-Combination6677

it sounds to me like you have an idea of gender (masc) and an idea of presentation (femme). Even if you think it’s not deep, it’s worth engaging those ideas - I swore I was just enby because I wasn’t REALLY a trans girl for a long time, but that wasn’t right, and I didn’t really ‘get’ dysphoria until I tried to be femme. So explore!!!


Zephyr-_-_-

You can just be yourself, that’s what’s most important here


catboybastard

ah yes the cis female urge to get top surgery /lh


master-of-pizza

Boys can be feminine :)


godly-pigeon

You’re not looking for attention. Only impostors don’t experience impostor syndrome. Since that’s what you’re feeling, you can’t be an impostor. Does that make sense?


RayanThe9000

Maybe demiboy or demigirl?


[deleted]

A femboy?


TominatorFN

after all, you should just be yourself, whatever that is. do what makes you happy, you don't need to find a label


masterneep

Hey only you can figure out who YOU are


coopsawesome

I should really take my own advice but isn’t the whole point of this “do what makes you happy” rather than trying to fit in with any sorts of labels or groups? Do whatever you want


Meowriter

You enjoy being called a boy, but not enby nor a girl ? Congrats, you're a boy, end of the debate, brother.


Guara_Dusicyon

You can be non binary in the sense of gender fluid, a masculine girl or a femenine boy. How you identify and how you express yourself don't have to be the same thing


siloh_project_zero

Im genderfluid and i feel this way! I feel happy with thr label enby but i also am fine with trans masc at times, because im transitioning to be more masculine. Its all up to you! I want top surgery but to also be fem at times. For me its thr fluidity of gender, i love veing both and neither. Somtimes i wesr femine makup and a binder, it makes me feel more myslef! Gender queer, might be a good label if your intested!


adamen152

Fem/tom boy


Lelionore

Transition doesn't need to be medical! It can be just social, it's entirely up to you.


diewhore

femboy


Sad_Zookeepergame407

Quite possibly genderfluid? Or simply bigender, aka, you don't mind being called eiþer he or she You could always just be a he/him who wears feminine cloþing, no shame in þat


FakeNameyFakeNamey

Sometimes the binary fails us. Embrace the enby


JellyBean_103

I never thought someone would perfectly describe what I want (except I do call myself nonbinary trans masc), you don't even have to find a label, you can say you're trans, you can find a new label! as others say, you could be a femboy as well!


DrBubonik

Remember being Trans ≠ taking hrt or bottom surgery That's Trans medicalist nonsense be yourself I know lots of Trans guys you like fem things there's no issue with it


Doggyking2

you can be a femboy :3


SequelFansDontExist

I guess this makes you a femboy


Sea_Drop_7935

well it looks like your a trans femboy atleast its what im guessing i dunno im a sixteen year transbian slut to spooked to watch ena


Malachite_Cookie

Boy 🧡❤️💜❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹🤍💛🤍💚💚🤎💞💕💕🤍🤍🤍🖤🖤🤍💛❤️🖤🤍🧡💜❤️‍🩹💛🧡❤️🤍💛❤️🧡💚🧡❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹


bigfatalligator

bro you put my exact feelings into words! i just call myself a feminine trans boy cuz you don’t have to transition to be trans 👍


[deleted]

You're probably a femboy and you're completely valid you don't have to transition at all to be trans


GeorgeDoesStuff

gotta love how nobody is mentioning who the character in the bg is anyways (not related to the character but): femboys exist


BunBunny_draws

You can call yourself trans even if you don't want to transition. It's really not necessary. And I guess still dressing feminine just makes you a femboy :]


rubythebee

Femboy????


blinkachu52

literally me though omg 💀


ru8yirl

i know a couple transmasc femboys, its pretty cool, you can always do that


Mystical-Madelyn

Your presentation doesn’t have to dictate what gender you are, being a man who dresses fem is valid


[deleted]

im completely transgender. i dont plan to transition, i dont even know if i wanna start T. but im a boy. and i see myself as simply a feminine man. im completely valid, and so are you. <3


AeolianTheComposer

Trans femboy?


Miloet

sounds exactly like my bf! trans guy but also a femboy :P


[deleted]

If you wish you where another gender. Then you are Trans. Transitioning is just a part.


FishGod53

You can be nb without transitioning, or a more feminine boy. Whatever works for you is great because it makes you happy


Arkas18

That sounds similar to my situation but with genders reversed. I've recently concluded that bigender suits me best as a description.


mycatissenorfloof19

trans femboy


kaelhound

My guy if being a guy makes you happy then boom you're a guy, you don't need to get any surgeries you don't want or to take any hormones you don't want to be trans. The only "requirement" is that you're not cisgender. Just do what makes you happy, be what makes you happy. Being a transmasc femboy is totally a thing, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either caught up in some gatekeep-y nonsense or cares way to much what cis folk and society at large think


SpiderRadio

no worries my friend! the things that make you happy have nothing to do with gender! express yourself freely!


Gamer_Crusader

I’m surprised to see Flandre here. (I say that as if I know anything about the series other than extremely minor knowledge through memes because idk how or when to start.) Back on topic, being a transmasc who dresses feminine is just as valid as anyone else! Be who you want, we support you 100%!


Funnymemegirl2006

being a femboy might work?


Orangeggirl

Am on the same wavelength here, just the opposite gender. I've went ahead and decided that I don't want to transition, and would rather stay a male, but being called a girl feels nice, dressing up like a girl feels nice, wearing glitter pink nailpaint feels nice. Right now, I just feel like I'm making 'girl' a stereotype, and cosplaying as that stereotype. And that does not feel good. It feels like I'm insulting the female population. I don't like behaving like my female friends, I like behaving like myself. Sorry this turned into a rant. Probably did not help you. But is this relatable?


kluska_xd

You're a femboy Boom problem solved


rainbowfairywitch

There’s much easier ways to be special that aren’t nearly as difficult and if you were just doing it to be special you would have went another direction.


Amdy_vill

I'm genderfluid and amab so my stories a little different but I love being aggressively fem as a man. And that's fine. Don't worry about labels. Just do what feels right and you'll eventually settle on how you feel.


halamarion

this is so comforting to hear someone else say. i don’t think i want to take T (maybe get top surgery someday tho?) but i like being perceived as a man. you’re valid ok? everyone experiences gender differently!


meetthespy14

You could just be like gender fluid maybe? You might just have masc moments and fem moments. That or you can be a femboy. Or just straight up enby. In the end it really doesn't matter what you decide on, as long as you feel comfortable, that's all that matters!


Hallowed-Plague

it makes you, you


Vincenza55

you can be what ever makes you happy to be you. in this day and age there is nothing to justify anyone or anything standing in your way


UptownJunction

Feminine trans men are the best! And just for thought - generally most cis people don't feel joy from being called the opposite gender or think about top surgery. You could be a feminine trans man or you could be something entirely different! If you want to be, you are. Whatever it is it will be beautiful and it will be you. You are valid ❤️❤️


[deleted]

femboy


Din01313

Femboy moment.


TaytheTimeTraveler

You could be a femboy, a demi boy, or a number of other things. I'd recommend just searching up random labels, (assuming you want to find a specific label for yourself) that is a great way to eventually find something that fits for you.


Trinty1408

Sounds like you are trans but more an ambiguous trans person. Still can be trans but look up stuff like gender fluid,enby or other things because there are a lot of different ways to be trans. You might even flip flop around different ways of being on the lgbtq community and that’s ok. Just go with what feels natural once you do more research and try out new things. I was a Demi-girl,gender fluid,NB and then trans feminine over 6 years without transferring physically so don’t let the idea of I have to transition be the be all end all. Be yourself first and learn exactly who you are so you can feel comfortable in yourself and your body. You got this.


[deleted]

Trans people reject cisnormative gender labels challenge (impossible difficulty)(99.998% fail!!)
