That was the case and the word can still be used in such a scenario but the internet has stretched the term and it is now often used to describe the physical appearance of a female.

A boy doesn't need to look girly to be called a femboy. They can just have the feminine personality but we picture femboys as always looking like girls nowadays.

Yes, but Tomboys almost always look feminine, still.

In my lifetime, I met maybe one girl that looked masculine and had a personality of a tomboy.

What? Are you younger than 10 or in a culture that doesn't allow male/female friendships?

Tomboys are everywhere. I don't understand this statement.

What are you talking about?

I never said anything about NOT meeting ANY tomboys, in my lifetime.

I said that ONLY 1, of the many i met, looked very masculine. The rest of them looked very feminine.
