Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.

Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.

A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.

Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

Of coarse, being a Femboy is 100% valid. I know what the post is implying and I'm acknowledging people who identify as male being GNC and liking cute stuff are still valid as their identity, despite some people suggesting otherwise (not saying you're doing it by the way). I know that egg culture is very much a problem for GNC people and I'd just like to say, give it a rest, don't they go through enough already, be supportive of them, that means respecting their identity, even if it contradicts your idea of gender stereotypes i.e. a boy who chooses to dress and act cute and feminine but still identifies as male. The important part is how they identify, not how they present.

Oh and I know that people are going to say "But FirstMajesticComet, there's a line between being a Femboy and being transfem" I would say yes, yes there is, and it's determined by how they identify, gender identity is self-deterministic, it's not an outside factor, it's true because the person says it is. Fighting or arguing against it is invalidating and disrespectful to their identity, keep that in mind.

Here's a chart showing presentation and how they identify, notice that presentation does not affect or determine identity in this:

I apologize if my comment seemed harsh and cold towards the OP specifically, I have no ill intentions towards them as a person, or even their actions here. I only seek to show how it is important to recognize and respect the identities of GNC people and not crush or invalidate them inadvertently (or intentionally if you think they're "in-denial", it's still invalidating them because you're not respecting who they say they are) they do not deserve this kind of treatment. Remember the golden rule, treat others the way you want to be treated.

God, I need to log off. I saw that this chart has a "presentation" axis and immediately got defensive in the same way I get whenever people complain that I don't look "androgynous enough", but then I read the chart lol ๐Ÿ˜…
