Some recent posts have said things like "She's not a femboy, she's a shemale." I gotta admit, I don't know the difference. So...

What's a femboy?

What's a shemale?

What's a gurl?

What's a boi?

Is a femboy the same as a femboi?

What's a trap?

What's a tarp?

What other terms should I be familiar with?
 
What's a femboy?
a man who identifies as male, and cultivates feminine characteristics. You might want to use "femme boy" in two words. After all, we don't say "tallman" or "blackhorse."

What's a shemale?
This is a term invented by the sex industry. A shemale's job is to provide fantasizing men with a boner on command, fuck him, get paid, and then go away. Usually she transforms into a trans woman once she's home.

What's a gurl?
Anyone who identifies as female in any way shape or form. Lots of trans folk use it at each other. And straight women.

What's a boi?
I've only heard it used by submissive butch lesbians.

Is a femboy the same as a femboi?
nope--a femme boy identifies as male with female accessories, a femme boi is a (usually) female bodied, male-identified person who will wear a dress if their top requires it of them.

What's a trap?
this is a disgusting term. It implies that trans women are only pretending to be female, and really just waiting to fool some unsuspecting hetero man into going home with them so they can rape the poor innocent guy.

lately, the narrative is that the evil trapping bitch gets raped instead. All of this can be very sexy in fiction, but too many trans women have been beaten up and killed on account of "trans panic" -- and their murderers get away with it-- for it to be very much fun for long.

What's a tarp?
Umm... a big sheet of something, usuallywater proof, that you can use to cover your things with??
 
Stella, thanks for your answers.

To clarify, is it true that bois are female-bodied trans persons, but not all female bodied trans persons are bois?

And actually, I think tarp is a misspelling of trap, but I've seen it in several places, so I'm not sure.
 
Tks Stella Omega

Just when I thought I had my "gender Rubic's Cube" all lined up, I turn my head for a sip of tea, and SOMEONE mixes the cube all up again! Naughty! ;)
