"Fakebois are girls who pretend to be boys for attention, either as transmen or biological males (usually the former). These girls are not really transgender because they experience little or no gender dysphoria and usually don't transition, although some of them take male hormones (made possible by informed consent transgender clinics which require no diagnosis) and later regret it.

Fakebois style and present themselves as androgenous or feminine-looking young men, even wearing girls clothing and make-up. They insist on being addressed with male he/him pronouns and take great offense at being misgendered. Some are SJW transactivists, but for most their identities are entirely superficial."

or, to but it in my own words; Someone, usually a woman, pretending to be the opposite sex or transgender on social media to get more attention. Being trans is trendy now, so they are trans trending. For cosplayers, it is to make their cosplay look more convincing. It is like the trap meme; a woman cosplaying a woman? So what? A man who looks like a woman cosplaying a woman?!?! +1000 likes. If they pretend to be male, and thus a trap, they get more likes.

Not sure how to objectively write an article about it since idk what an outsider's view of this is like. I like androgynous cosplayers, and it is really weird how so many pretend to be the opposite sex.

I'd say it's big enough of a concept online to warrant its own entry. It's a touchy subject though so take extra care to write objectively.

I misread this as "transtenders" and now I'm disappointed that no one sexually identifies as a chicken tender. Even googling "transtender" and Google tried to correct me to transtrenders. I'd say go for it. You've got google's support apparently.

Yea. I'll start on it later tonight if no one does, giving me more time to do some research first. I think i'll mostly focus on the people who claim to be born biologically male and have always been male… even they they show cleavage in their pictures.

Also some interesting controversy since some of them are underage, flat chested, and post pictures without any top on. If they claim to be male, and you can't prove otherwise, is that allowed?

Everyone knows the correct trans and trap attire is centered around tenderness.

I second my fellow mod opinions.

We might have to discuss this one first. Damn never thought I'd see the day.

Mods are leaning toward not risking it. Pics of shirtless underage guys are already practically off-limits, so let's not go there.

I think we could have an entry on transtrenders, or at least the concept of them and the debate surrounding them. The material is definitely out there. Moving into the whole "fakeboi" territory sounds like it could get really risky on everyone's end and probably deserves more to be a subheader than a main focus, so to say. It might also be wise to lock the gallery for the entry if it gets made and fakebois are covered.

As a transgender woman I say yes to at least researching it and potentially a article. The reason being is that I've seen a lot of individuals that call themselves transgender when in reality they just don't like traditional gender norms and confuse not conforming to traditional gender norms with transgender.
