@alyx i believe "tan" is the next level of baby talk. Pleroma-tan, for example
@alyx interesting, since the mascot of Pleroma is definitely a lady, but she's known as Pleroma-tan.
@alyx sometimes i wonder if i'm the only cishet person in the fediverse

@thor
Nah, most of us are just having fun, pretending we're fucked up beyond belief.

@alyx @cowanon i don't object to being trans but it's not my cup of tea

@thor @cowanon
But traps aren't even trans though. Trap is just straight up crossdresser basically. Just a very good one though.

@TheMadPirate @alyx @thor I've heard shouting that "TRAPS ARE NOT JUST CROSSDRESSERS!!!" but the source of said shouting offered no reasons nor argument.
@cowanon @alyx @thor

I usually understand that a trap is a pre-op trans who basically lures straight men into bed only to reveal itself as a male at the last minute ( like the scene from "The Crying Game" ). I also understand that is a femboy/transvestite who is a fetishist straight male who dresses up as a girl to sexually arise himself.

@TheMadPirate @thor @cowanon
I think femboy might be veering a bit more into trans teritory. At least from my understanding, femboy implies a bit more feminine behavior, not just the looks.

@alyx @TheMadPirate @thor This conversation is why Nazis burned all books pertaining to sexuality other than heterosexuality.

@cowanon @TheMadPirate @thor
Hence why we must persue more research in this field of study, to gain back the lost knowledge.

@alyx @TheMadPirate @cowanon for a country boy, this is already getting too complicated

"is she a girl or is she not?"

@thor @TheMadPirate @cowanon
These days it seems the only truly relevant question people still ask is "does it have a hole for my dick".

@thor @TheMadPirate @cowanon
... That's a question best left for President Biden to answer. He has the most experience when it comes to smelling girls.

@TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon @thor Femboy is a very feminine looking guy, often a crossdresser, often with a feminine personality. A trap is a very feminine crossdresser who passes well. Traps could be seen as a subcategory of femboys: all traps are femboys, but not all femboys are traps.
@galena @TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon i have this terrible suspicion that someone i slept with was one or the other... for various reasons, one of them being that she smelled wrong
@TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon @galena @m i dunno what i am but whatever i imagine sexually will inevitably involve a vagina
@thor @galena @alyx @cowanon Damn, I don't have that meme of the trannie that went through SRS and find out that her "vagina" now smelled like poop all the time ( due to bacteria ).
@TheMadPirate @alyx @galena @thor Didja know if you put hard liquor in a spray bottle, and your armpits are stinky, you can spray there and they'll no longer stink?
@TheMadPirate @cowanon @alyx @galena i've done that with body spray with alcohol in it... and antibac...

really high alcohol body spray should be a product lol
@galena @TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon @thor I don't think femboys need to look or dress feminine though. They are basically like tomboys. Then again, you do get guys who look cute and like young men, but otherwise behave like men.
@sim @TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon @thor Depends on how you define it, I guess. Femboy doesn't have an exact definition
@galena @sim @TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon tomboys feel to me to belong to an entirely different category somehow
@thor @galena @TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon When you think about it, tomboys are women who have a tendency towards more action-orientated roles. In a way, the society we have now demands that women behave this way for survival. In order to be independent and to make it in the working world. Tomboys have that skillset, probably because they've had to adopt it. So in a way, women have always been this way inclined for survival. I've wondered if it is just another aspect of being a woman who has to take on certain roles. But I suppose there is also the difference with interests and preferences that aren't necessary.
@galena @TheMadPirate @alyx @cowanon @thor Yeah, I just assumed that it was the male version of a tomboy. Perhaps a guy who has tendencies towards creativity, nurturing, kindness. Maybe a socialiser. Maybe like the artist stereotype fits. Those qualities are good ones to have.
