In addition to the other caveats mentioned, searching "femboy" on google also doesn't 100% lead to looking at the nsfw version, but I can see the correlation and I have also never heard of "ladyboy" and "shemale" so I (assuming good intent) assume they have to do with pornography.

ladyboy and shemaleNope.
Ladyboy is Kathoey. It’s a Thai English word for a 3rd gender group.
That is the true etymology and meaning among people who know, but it is now used as an anti-trans slur by the American Right, who do not know its origin.
