Can't tell if oop is transman or transwoman or cis guy on hrt. No matter which one they are still bi and should just learn to accept it.

cis guy on hrt

Why would they be on hrt

[-] Laurentide@pawb.social 6 points 1 week ago

The same reason anyone would be: because their current body doesn't match their gender identity and they want to change that. This person just happened to start inside the same arbitrary social category as their destination.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

I'm confused

The word cisgender (often shortened to cis; sometimes cissexual) describes a person whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth, i.e., someone who is not transgender.

If they're taking hrt it sounds like they'd want to change their gender

[-] Laurentide@pawb.social 12 points 1 week ago

Just as some AMAB (Assigned Male At Birth) men want to look more masculine and will work out at the gym or take testosterone supplements, some AMAB men are femboys and may temporarily take feminizing HRT to look less masculine.

Both are trying to change their bodies to better fit their gender identity, and femboy is clearly a different identity from gym bro, but they are both male gender identities.

What hormones would a gym fembroy take though?

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 2 points 1 week ago

Answer is still HRT, and a femboy would probably have a very different exercise routine than a gym bro in terms of areas they'd want to work.

maybe they're a twitch streamer

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

What would some of those reasons be?

[-] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Low to no sexdrive and they want to have one

Trying to stop or slow down the progression of male pattern baldness

Loss of muscle mass.

To fix low testosterone

Maybe they are not trans but want to be more feminine looking.

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com -5 points 1 week ago

since by straight they meant liking women I assume it's a transman no? I'm unsure too though

Femboy means they are biologically male.

[-] Miphera@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Not necessarily, they could be a feminine trans man.

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I thought a femboy was specifically AMAB who presents more femininely.

[-] macmacfire@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago

They're saying in this case, seemingly, he was born male, but a trans femboy can exist.

[-] nomous@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That makes sense, thanks.

[-] Enkrod@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

In short: Femboy is about presenting as a very feminine man, men doing that can include trans men.

Slightly longer: It's why there are different categories for sex, gender assigned at birth, gender identity and gender expression. A femboy would identify male and express feminine. The opposite is a tomboy, somebody who identifies as female and expresses in a masculine manner, both are not necessarily linked to the individuals sex and/or gender assigned at birth.

Trans refers to a different gender identity than the gender assigned at birth and doesn't come into play here.
