Femboy is a person who identifies himself as a man, but at the same time has feminine appearance.  Often female expression is also involved. A boy, who looks more feminine, may be non-binary person (one whose gender identity goes beyond the division into male and female), gender fluid or have another gender identity.  What is common for femboys, are male body and expressing oneself in a manner characteristic for women.

Term may have pejorative character; part of LGBT community uses it, however, as a name for one of the forms of gender expression. Although “effeminate” men are seen in a stereotypical way, this term is not synonymous with any sexual orientation or specific gender roles. They can be friends with both, women and men, they may also have intimate relationship with persons of different gender.  Just because a man feels feminine and express himself in a way that is non-stereotypical for men, does not equate it to a disorder that needs to be treated.

The term femboy is a combination of two English word: “boy” and fem which is abbreviation of “female”.  Then this word we could translate into Polish as “kobiecy chłopak” or “żeńchłopiec”.

 Femboi is an alternative spelling most likely referring to the word “boi”, which is another version of English “boy” notation, but also a slang term for a male lesbian, a young trans man or young bi- or homosexual man who has certain effeminate characteristics.

The word first appeared in 1990s as a pejorative term for a man who does not respect to male gender roles.  In the early 21st century, the term began to be used as a positive means of self-identification. In 2013 the interest in this term increased significantly.   The term has gained popularity on Reddit, and the femboy community is also noticeable on Tik Tok.
