So I was like talking with a femboy friend and hugging and I made a joke about two femboys and he gave me a rebuttal that I don’t count as a femboy anymore because I have boobs now. A bit less dysphoria, but more sad that I can’t celebrate Femboy Friday the way I used to (dressing up as a femboy). GAHT was the right move for me though because my boobs are replacing chest dysphoria, they’re not replacing a cute stereotypical femboy chest body type.

    Being on hormones does not exclude you from being a femboy. But I think what you’re experiencing is maybe the realisation that you are in fact a woman, and that it suits you well, but then you have to mourn a little for the loss of a phase of your life that you have positive feelings towards?

    Lots of trans people go through this. People who were gay before and are straight after transition mourn the loss of their gay identity and community for example.
