The thing with reclaiming things for oneself is that it's not always inconsequential and comforting than it seems. I mean femboy, for an example, may seems appealing to some to claim as without the social context it come from which will be attached to it no matter if the person who identify as such like it or not. I mean, even if the word may seems like it describes someone who's perceivable as feminine while identifying as masculine, it was still coined as a reductive, defeatist and fetishizing term targeted at people who can achieve a rather specific, based off fiction, more often than not, idealised aesthetic. There's reasons why people avoid calling themselves and others shemales or traps, rebranding it won't make it much different.

#truth to be told i'm way more baffled at tmes doing that like...ok so you identify as backhanded tongue in cheek transmisogyny? interesting #when tma do that im like ok i see you and i get the idea of self preserving by eating crumbs of backhanded validation from oppressors #but it's kind of primordial to just set boundaries otherwise it's easy to fall in the rabbit hole of self depreciation #and to recognize that people wanting to stay out of it aren't cringe and their hostility may be earned but they're not inherently enemies #at the end of the day it's kind of a “you do you” kind of thing but remains that words have meaning and connotations #so it's normal to react in accordance #it's all fun to let people have fun but when the fun is feminity served as an aesthetic that's only valid if fuckable or a joke if not is uh #but at the same time isn't there a more feminine experience than having your value as a person in society reduced to your fuckability #so yea...i mean some people do call themselves bimbos also #but with thick skin and some self awareness to an extend why not...just don't beg for validation over it
