Can't tell if oop is transman or transwoman or cis guy on hrt. No matter which one they are still bi and should just learn to accept it.
Why would they be on hrt
maybe they're a twitch streamer
The same reason anyone would be: because their current body doesn't match their gender identity and they want to change that. This person just happened to start inside the same arbitrary social category as their destination.
I'm confused
If they're taking hrt it sounds like they'd want to change their gender
Just as some AMAB (Assigned Male At Birth) men want to look more masculine and will work out at the gym or take testosterone supplements, some AMAB men are femboys and may temporarily take feminizing HRT to look less masculine.
Both are trying to change their bodies to better fit their gender identity, and femboy is clearly a different identity from gym bro, but they are both male gender identities.
What hormones would a gym fembroy take though?
Answer is still HRT, and a femboy would probably have a very different exercise routine than a gym bro in terms of areas they'd want to work.
Could be a lot of reasons.
What would some of those reasons be?
Low to no sexdrive and they want to have one
Trying to stop or slow down the progression of male pattern baldness
Loss of muscle mass.
To fix low testosterone
Maybe they are not trans but want to be more feminine looking.
since by straight they meant liking women I assume it's a transman no? I'm unsure too though
Not necessarily, they could be a feminine trans man.
I thought a femboy was specifically AMAB who presents more femininely.
They're saying in this case, seemingly, he was born male, but a trans femboy can exist.
That makes sense, thanks.
In short: Femboy is about presenting as a very feminine man, men doing that can include trans men.
Slightly longer: It's why there are different categories for sex, gender assigned at birth, gender identity and gender expression. A femboy would identify male and express feminine. The opposite is a tomboy, somebody who identifies as female and expresses in a masculine manner, both are not necessarily linked to the individuals sex and/or gender assigned at birth.
Trans refers to a different gender identity than the gender assigned at birth and doesn't come into play here.
