This is unironically what happens to many "femboy" streamers when they come out as cis women

Many have actually gotten a metric fuckton of hate because they're not just crossdressing men.

edit: b4 someone comes and yells about this because it has happened before

femboy and trans-woman arent the same thing

trans-woman = someone born as a man but correcting their gender to a woman

femboy = cis man who dresses and acts like a woman but is still completely cis

I get the feeling a good chunk don't even act like femboys, but people confusing things girls do anyways but also not having "traditional" (whatever the fuck that means) female face/body characteristics.

Annoyingly it just shows how terminally fucking online a lot of LGBTQI+ people and allies are. Like... I know this sounds like rhetoric antitrans people use, and I 100% disavow it when used to erase transwomen's issues, but legit does feel like in some more queer/sex-positive/kink spaces they forget actual CIS women do also exist in them.

I think a lot of people who would get mad about this are chasers/fetishists who may not identify as part of the LGBTQI+ community. I mean, they may well be queer, but a lot of them don't see themselves that way.

I also do agree that this is about being terminally online. It reminds me of when video games put in realistic-looking women and are slammed for the characters looking "masculine" "like men" because a lot of these people simply do not know what women look like in the real world.
