This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It might be in this case, but I would not object for a trans man to call themselves femboy if they look like a feminine boy, since for all that matters to me a trans man is a man.
You may not object but that's not how the word is commonly used. Anyone can call themselves anything, but for words to have any meaning we need to have a gentleman's agreement about when and how to use them, which is basically what a language is.
Anyway, I'm just explaining the word's conventional meaning. I have no interest in arguing with you as if I were some kind of linguistic prescriptivist.
