i would say femboys are generally seen as not wanting to be female, just feminine. Same as how crossdressing doesn't make you trans, it just means you like crossdressing.

a term sometimes used synonymously with femboy is tomgirl, as a mirror to tomboy, and you wouldn't start calling tomboys trans men would you? They're people who identify as female but present less femininely.

so the feminine character is a femboy and not trans because of the bi flag in panel 2? also what's the difference between a femboy and tomgirl?
the more I read this thread the more confused I get 😓
