Its my understanding that femboy can be an in between step for some trans women in their journey. For example nano-nano at first identified as a femboy but now identifies as a trans woman. Kinda like how bi-curious or heteroflexable can be a step to identifying as bi or pan (this one is from my experience). It also seems for some to be an identity on its own (like heteroflexable). Mind you this is just based on my observations as a bi cis-man. I would love the perspective on this from a femboy or trans woman.
Not attempting to conflate the two, just curious if i had concluded correctly about some people passing thru one on the way to the other. I actually have not gotten to the point with the character in question. I understand the importance of gender identity and wouldent dream of delegitimizing any ones lived experience like that. No offense intended. Thank you for your input.
I mean, having actually played what's available for free, and being a transwoman myself, both the player character and the lead femboy are sensitive about trans people in a way that indicates the writer being familiar with the topic.
The currently only available scene with the transwoman in the game isn't the same dynamic as the other characters.
None of it strikes me as phobic or even misinformed, I can't really tell you not to find it distasteful if you do but I think it's disingenuous to imply that it comes from malice.
