A fork of Rural Dictionary
A young boy who presents extensive feminine mannerisms and actions often blurring the line between a boy and a girl. Can be confused with a cross dresser, but it usually refers to boys at very young age or in their teens. Commonly used to define gay boys who dress like girls, but some can be straight too.
"I met a femboy today, he was wearing the most beautiful pink dress Ive ever seen." "I bet he was adorable"
1) A meme. 2a) A young lad who (regardless of gender identity and sex orientation) genuinely appreciates and has a taste for feminine fashion and beauty. A femboy has essentially internalized these feminine interests and appropriated it for their own self-expression. Femboys may find huge interest in makeup, feminine clothing, and nail polishes. Femboys may also be fond of other girly stuff like knitting, shōjo manga or boy bands. You can tell that somebody is a femboy when they are equally as zealous (or knowledgable) about the feminine interest as a typical girl would be. 2b) The term also extends to behaviours and mannerisms that are feminine in nature, though this is not required to be labelled as a femboy. 3) Me.
As a cis femboy I love to paint my nails, not because other guys are doing it, and not because of any fad, but because I genuinely like it. It makes my hands look sooo pretty and it helps me express myself better. Plus, I can finally have something relatable when I talk to a girl, haha.
A femboy is a male, typically under 30, who acts in a feminine manner. Often wearing colours like pink, and in some cases wearing dresses. Despite how it may seem, femboys aren’t usually transgender, though most aren’t straight. This doesn’t, however, mean that all femboys are cis gay boys.
