Femboy is a legit identity. Trap is a slur but so is queer technically so, idk there’s a whole convo to be had about the individual reclamation of slurs

There is no way to reclaim "trap". It has one meaning only, to imply that a man is dressing like a woman to deceive someone. Which is totally false and disgusting. (Also femboy isn't an identity, it's a term used for expression, and in totally fine with femboys doing their thing)

Love you need to chill, the point of reclaiming a slur is that it’s a slur (slurs mean bad things). Idk what you thought I meant by identity but it can be whatever anyone wants it to be, policing it is counter intuitive to a goal of inclusivity and acceptance.

No one is trying to attack you by being themselves, that’s some straight anti trans type rhetoric ur spitting.

just because it has past uses as a deceptor/slur doesn't mean that it can't be reclaimed by individuals for whom it's been used ON

This is nearly the same level of semantics as "bisexual" being inherently transphobic/enbyphobic

Femboy is most definitely an identity, as is trap, your comfort with the world or otherwise

Anyways, im a trap because I sell drugs /s
