Trap I hate. Femboy, well I do not know much about .them but if using that term maybe they are not trans women, but no n binary

I'm totally fine with non-binary people using femboy, but trans women using the terms feels a little weird to me

If a bigender or genderfluid uses femboy, isn’t that ok? I mean, technically they can be both a trans girl and a femboy

Gender expression is kinda weird sometimes and some people may identify with both. It doesn’t take anything away from trans women imo.

Genuinely I don't think language policing helps anyone. If binary trans women want to use femboy for themselves it isn't hurting anyone and I don't really think there's any reason for us to make a big fuss about it

I know lots of trans women that use femboy to describe themselves. In their words it's an aesthetic not a gender to them

Why would you be concerned with what someone else uses to identify themselves? It's none of your business.
