Americans when they learn that cross-dressing isn’t considered adult only in other places. Sure you have RuPaul’s drag race which is very sexualised, but that isn’t the only type of cross-dressing that exists.
Also the rules listed are actually sexualising girls. I would rather mock the rules instead. The femboys are not the problem here.
Honestly, I blame the history of the word and its relation to slurs for trans women. Femboy, trap, and multiple others started as words to describe trans women as actually just being a gay man trying to trick straight men into having sex with them by pretending to be a woman.
I’m glad to see that they’ve evolved beyond that into a very fun way for men to play and express themselves outside of the arbitrary gender binary, but I totally understand the gut reaction of basically “femboy = twink with extra steps.”
Like similar to a girls’ two piece? A speedo and crop top? I bet there’d be a new rule next year.
Just normal trunks and a swim shirt? Probably nothing said at all. Though to be fair I bet if a girl showed up in swim trunks and a swim shirt not a word would be said either, but I could be wrong on that.
No rules about femboys though? I see a loophole here.
I don’t think Linux devs go to summer camps…
Maybe don’t refer to femboys when talking about 12 year olds?
Being a femboy isn’t inherently sexual.
Well fuck, when you’re right you’re right.
Just kind of a gut reaction, as that’s how the world treats them, but that’s not really fair.

Genuinely wonder how they’d react to a boy showing up in a two-piece like some kind of gacha femboy.
