Definition of «femboy»

A "femboy" is a young man who adopts a feminine appearance or persona through clothing, makeup, and behavior. This term is prominent in internet subcultures and gaming communities, often used to describe a specific aesthetic that challenges traditional masculine norms. While it can be used as a neutral descriptor of identity or style, it is also frequently used in a playful or admiring way within fandoms. It is distinct from being transgender, as it typically refers to a gender expression rather than a gender identity.
