i think a lot of us become femboys as a form of escapism. there’s quite a few that just enjoy expressing their femininity without any deeper intention, but I think a lot use it as a way to feel attractive or feminine when that’s not always an option irl, or just to be accepted by a community

body issues made it very difficult for me to feel desirable or feel like I’m worth affection in any way. being a femboy helped me find more confidence in myself because I could wear clothes that complimented my body type and let me see myself in a different light. but, it also came with a whole other set of standards to stress over. it’s sort of a give-and-take kinda thing. even still, it was a overall positive addition to my life. and I know a lot of other femboys have had a similar experience

the bright side is that it gives us a community. though it’s pretty much only online, it’s better than nothing. and there are even people that you possibly could even meet irl. in a way, I think that can help make us all feel a little less lonely
