Idk
I think it's fine to enjoy him, but I think his portrayal is distasteful. I shouldn't be served you saying you "decided not to get the surgery," as your most popular clip, when that's something I can only dream of right now. It also feels like he sexualizes himself constantly, which really doesn't help with people perceiving gender non-conforming males as sexual. I would like to not be harassed on the daily because of other people's fetish.
My bf is a femboy, but much more respectful, and doesn't appropriate my identity. I don't think it's fair for them(my bf) to speak on my struggles, but they do face their own issues in regards to their presentation, or with people using the right pronouns.
Idk
I'm not trying to exclude femboys from freedom from gender, I just want them to be more thoughtful about how their jokes will affect others.
i think we're in an early phase of cultural acceptance of femboys and i'm not even sure most femboys entirely know if this is a post-gender thing or just public acceptance of genderqueer/nonconforming through the lens of (unfortunate) sexual thirst
when i was younger and when trans basically meant you had to medically transition fully and couldn't be bi or a lesbian (and thus the gate was closed to me) i would have considered myself a femboy
even though in reality i was pretty openly nonbinary there just wasn't yet a definition for it
so maybe things will keep evolving.
your bf isn't a social media star/person (i'm assuming?) so you get a good lens into what a femboy is without the spotlight and monetary motivations
sorry i'm rambling dunno if this makes sense
I mean, yeah, sorta.
We're doing content with each other and stuff tho so idk. We do monetize our sexualities.
I think F1nn5ter's privilege is kinda important here though, because he doesn't have to deal with the dangerous consequences essentially at all, unlike my bf who was raped because of his presentation and the sexualization of it. This was at Pride.
shit i'm really sorry. i understand.
SA survivor myself that happened at a safe space too it really sucks
I'm sorry for bringing up the topic without prior warning. I'm a survivor as well but sometimes it's hard to internalize it so I end up just blurting things out.
I hope your recovery is and has been steadfast and persistent. My partner recovered so much from the incident, but the difficulty they had with it was always evident, and virtually insurmountable at times. I pray that you'll have the strength to approach it when you're ready, if you haven't already, and I pray that peace has or will be restored to you. Sorry if this isn't appropriate.
it's ok! was a long time ago and i've worked it out
lasting impact is it just snuffed out what ever attraction i had to men which is only returned with femboys/femme presenting men
was briefly actually homophobic (legit scared of gay men) until a good friend i had a romantic but not sexual relationship smoothed that out
I'm glad you're doing well considering!
I was homophobic as a kid for reasons I don't know but suspect and was shocked out of it when I was told my grandpa was gay lmao 🤣
He was the sweetest old man and I knew he couldn't be bad too
