nice clouds up there

excluding femininity from trans boys is exactly the same as saying that masculine girls are boys, which is ridiculous. it is absolutely no different just because the word “trans” is there

add to that that there are multiple ways in which to be or be considered feminine or masculine

when a cis girl is masculine that’s just how she is. when a trans boy is feminine that’s just how he is.

what makes a boy? it’s nonsensical to ask that because even science has no idea. science admits that it’s fascinating that people know their gender intrinsecally and that they’re still investigating how is this. 

and this question doesn’t come to mind when talking about cis boys, apparently. which is sad.

how did David Reimer know he was a boy? he always fought against being made into a girl, but he never knew about being born a cis boy until he was 15 and already had been injected female hormones for years. and tragically, there’s been many cis boys like him who even kept outright stating since as early as in their childhood that they were boys even though they were surgically, medically and socially brought up as girls with the truth hidden from them.

2. that umbrella bullshit definition is wrong. as if you couldn’t already tell by how awfully vague it is and by your own last line.

3. gender itself is not an expression. most trans people spend years without being able to express their gender and this doesn’t change theirs. you’re clearly overlapping the concept of gender with that of gender roles.

2. I believe it is wrong. But if you look up gender, gender identity, and gender expression on websites like Planned Parenthood, the World Health Organization, and Merriam Webster, they will all tell you that gender means gender roles means gender identity. I am against this, but those are the definitions we are working with.

3. I’m not confusing gender with gender roles. That’s literally the definition. Gender comes from gender roles.

It is also absolutely not nonsensical to ask what a boy is. That’s the whole debate! Ask 100 people and you’ll get an entirely different definition. So until we are all on the same page with definitions, we can’t all get on the same page, and are arguing over nothing. Sometimes we are on the same side but use the wrong words and make people mad!

a trans boy is not a thing. it’s the “trans” adjective added to the word “boy”, so you don’t type it as “transboy”, it’s disrespectful. your problem is that you don’t know what a boy is because you don’t know what gender is, so even if i made mention to such a simple definition you would, at best, not understand it and at worst just do what you’ve been doing the whole time- ditch it.

you’ve consulted such “sources” on the definition of “transgender”, not that of “trans boy”. and newsflash: those are written by PEOPLE, cis people. the dictionary also officializes the word “transgendered” which 1. is a conjuction that could only be made if the word “transgender” was a noun which it’s not, it’s already an adjective and 2. it’s a term widely considered incorrect and seeped from ignorance, thus offensive.

trans people are not an umbrella, their experiences are diverse and personal but defined by a very simple and clear thing: in one, some or multiple aspects their sex or the implication/s of it cause dysphoria: body image, pronouns (identifying tools), the failure of cis people to get through their thick skull that gender is not a vessel. 

the definition you quoted overlaps with that of GENDER-NONCONFORMING which is related to gender roles, not gender itself. a gender-nonconforming person is one whose personality is expressed against the roles assigned to their gender. so both cis and trans people can be gender nonconforming, because duh- both have a personality. thus making no semantical or any kind of sense at all to define “trans” by “gender nonconforming”. 

such as the case of a feminine boy- whether he’s cis or trans. you’re implying that a feminine trans boy can’t be a boy because he’s trans, and that that would not go into the definition of a trans boy. because you simply don’t know what gender is nor what being trans means. so congratulations on stomping on your own tail!

and this is painfully obvious but it seems i have to mention it anyway- a masculine trans boy is gender-conforming (which is not a bad thing!) because ding ding! he’s a boy!

a masculine cis woman is a woman- regardless of her personality, interests, haircut and/or the clothes she wears, she goes by a female (or neutral) name, female pronouns, goes to the women’s changing/rest rooms, and does not have an issue with that, in fact she would rather have it that way. THAT is gender.

excluding femininity from trans boys is exactly the same as saying that masculine girls are boys, which is ridiculous. it is absolutely no different just because the word “trans” is there

add to that that there are multiple ways in which to be or be considered feminine or masculine

when a cis girl is masculine that’s just how she is. when a trans boy is feminine that’s just how he is.
