The relationship between Trans Girls and Femboys is kinda like the relationship between Australia and New Zealand.
Okay, hear me out.
People uneducated about the community will wonder why Trans Girls and Femboys aren't the same country. Their people physically look very similar. Their languages share some vocabulary like "boymode", "thigh-highs", and "programmer socks". Their flags are almost identical. Trans Girls and Femboys constantly get mistaken for each other by accident.
Although they're different nations, they do have many shared experiences, like facing gender discrimination, struggles with masculine bodies, a contemporary culture rooted in e-sports and anime, and a shared ritual known as "skirt go spinny".
But try calling a Trans Girl a Femboy, or a Femboy a Trans Girl, and you're looking for a fight...or just a laugh, depending on the person.
Everything in Trans Girls is trying to kill you, and living in Trans Girls can be dangerous as a result.
People sometimes forget to put Femboys on maps, and so they are often unknown or dismissed as an exclave of Trans Girls, rather than a nation in its own right.
Free movement between each other's territory is allowed. As a result there is frequent immigration between the two nations (though, apparently, most often from Femboys to Trans Girls). Many Femboy citizens find themselves paying a visit to Trans Girls at one time or another in their lives--and vice versa. Some will swap between the two nations throughout their lives.
And while they normally have good relations, the two nations sometimes get into a beef over petty things like who gets to claim the blahaj, who is better at coding, and who invented the "skirt go spinny" ritual.
At their core, Trans Girls and Femboys could never unite into one nation, but yet are inherently close allies and have many shared interests. They have a joint defense agreement and will often jump in to protect each other when attacked by adversaries. You'll be hard pressed to find a stronger international rapport anywhere else.
(This is a joke intended to empower both communities...and I apologize if I offended anyone. I understand these are stereotypes and not everyone will fit them...myself included.)
I do have one question, what is a Femboy? I never even heard of the term until now.
As a cis-male, albeit with some mild to moderate femboy tenancies, I'll say that's a pretty good analogy, and would also make a really great twist on the country balls meme...

A feminine boy

If you suffer from mild to moderate femboy tendencies, talk to your doctor about The Femboy Starter PackTM.
And I do like Polandball. I was into Polandball comics before MLP

If you ask me, it’s a more contemporary term for crossdressing, with an emphasis on e-girl and 2010s-2020s women’s fashion styles. Or you could say a femboy is like a tomboy, but in reverse. The term femboy means different things for different people and I struggle with the definition myself
5765324’s definition is much simpler and works too.

A femboy is a cis-male gender non-conformist. That means that though they are born male and identify as male, they often dress in ways that are considered feminine.
The way they dress and/or choose to present has nothing to do with their sexuality. A femboy could be heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, or anywhere else on the entire sexual spectrum.
It's common on the internet, especially with porn, to depict femboys as hypersexual, cum-drunk sluts. I have enjoyed femboy porn before. Something you have to remember with porn is that it's a fantasy, and fantasy is a good way to temporarily escape reality, the only risk is if you start trying to supplant fantasy over the top of reality.

Crossdressing is a bit different than femboys, though not that much.
Crossdressing for entertainment is called drag.
Some people crossdress for sexual reasons, because it makes them feel sexy as part of foreplay or during the act or even for alone time. They may also do it as part of BDSM.
There are some people who crossdress and then go out looking for people to have sex with, either for money or just for the sex. Of course those folks tend to frequent the same areas with like-minded folks, so everyone knows what they're getting in to. In cities there are areas where crossdressing prostitutes will sell their flesh-wares, everyone knows that these particular streets or alleyway or corners or whatever, and though a lot of people may deride them, the crossdressing prostitutes see just as much customer traffic as the non-crossdressing prostitutes.
A femboy will crossdress because they like the fashion or it makes them feel good about themselves or they like the way they look in feminine clothing or any other reasons why you or I would wear what we wear.
Big oof, too real.

Thanks for letting me know. I figured it was something along the lines of that.
5765329
I appreciate your honesty
5765334
The analogy was perfect
5765341
Why would I feel the need to be dishonest?
5765343
All I meant was I appreciate you being honest about your interests.
And don't forget that they're both into Breakcore and consuming copious amounts of caffeine.
More seriously this actually works as an analogy far too well.
Plush shark belongs to the people. All cute plush things belong to the people.
Ah, the most fun kind of my collegues. Instead of working or resting in a healthy way they spend their time being snooty online.
If a skirt isn't armored and/or made in Scotland, it is likely that everything about it is invented by girls.

If we’re being really pedantic, the skirt has been culturally considered a unisex garment for the majority of recorded history.
