sometimes i wonder if femboy culture (itself largely recycled from transfem culture) is a psyop to convince repressed trans women to not actualize themselves and instead embrace their patriarchal role as a non-person who can be used as a sexual object and discarded freely.
of course men can be feminine (and lots of them should try doing that more honestly) but the way people try so hard to erase every instance of trans women existing in favor of "just being a femboy" to the point of violence combined with the recycling... suggests a whole second thing is going on
It's definitely not a psyop, it's simply the fetishization of transfemininity presenting itself in an identity, but this is absolutely something it's done. Femboy as a sort of gender or presentation people actually hold has actually been on the decline in the past few years, at this point it's becoming more and more exclusively a sex category (which is what it grew out of originally) for transfems without any of the womanhood, transesss, or politics involved.
