Its just always been me being myself!! X3

When I became a furry I guess. I just wanted to let out all the fluffiness. No one actually knows about the femboy (though some do about the furry stuff).

-I became a femboy about a few months ago. I realized that because I was raised mostly around women, that I became more feminine-like over the years. I felt so comfortable with having such a feminine-like behavior that I became a femboy. ^ u ^

-The challenges I faced and still face to this day is wondering when I should tell my family. Raised in a COGIC Christian household, it made things really upsetting to my family when I told them I was an atheist. Me telling my family that I am a femboy was something I always pondered. Their stubborn and hot-headed personalities would just be something that I would have to consider every time I thought of it. So I have to keep things a secret until I move out. And it's a shame because I really wanted to wear femboy clothing and just be myself without fear. ; w ;

-My family and close friends have not known about this yet. I wish to tell them when I build the courage to do so.

-My advice to others is don't let others dictate on how or what you should act like or behave. I'm not saying you should be disrespectful about it, but don't let others tell you what you should be because they're not you. You live your own life. How one lives their life should not be decided by someone else. The majority of society will be angered by what they can't control, so do everything in your power to be yourself with no fear.

I, too, will follow this advice.


-Even though I live in slight fear of discovery of me being a femboy, I know I love myself the way I am.

You go girl, way to be yourself :)

Thank you. I will not fail. > w <

I've always been one haha, like I've always had naturally feminine characteristics and a feminine figure; I think the better question would be when did I become open about it.

I opened up in late 2012, I went shopping with one of my girlfriends and got the first of my girly clothes and my first day dressing up and going out was Halloween 2012. From then on, I bought more and more clothes and began going out dressed up more and I felt soooo much more comfortable in feminine clothing. Now that I'm out of my parents house, feminine clothing is all I wear and I also go by female pronouns. My only regret is not coming out sooner.

Challenges I faced at first were living with my parents and being a music leader at my (now former) church. Living with my parents was hard because my dad is....well very set in his ways and with him you're either male or female, straight up. The concept of "femboy" or transgender or anything was not something that settled well with him. I always had to be careful when leaving the house dressed up, I usually snuck out either downstairs or through the back out to my car. What made it easier is my mom helping cover me and like telling me what room my dad was in lol.

Being a music leader in my church, I didn't dress up there at all, they all knew me as a totally different person lol (tho they did accept me being gay). But when I moved out if my parents house and joined an Episcopal church, I started there as the girl I am so that's how they came to know me.


The big challenge I face now are the genetics I've been given that cause rapidly growing facial and body hair. I never liked either one haha. I of course combat it by shaving, it's just time consuming haha.

Lastly to anyone who may be struggling with this, I just want to say don't be afraid of who you are. Don't try to change it or let anyone else try to change it. If you want to wear something girly, just put it on :) Looking at yourself in a full length mirror is also helpful as you will see everything and see how cute you look. This what I did for many years growing up. Excellent times to go out and get yourself accustomed to it are Halloween and fur cons. At a con you'll be surrounded by supporting people :)

Hmmm... I guess in a sense I was always a femboy.. From a very young age I was very feminine; always dancing, did artistic gymnastics, wanted to wear makeup and girls clothing, etc etc. Though I guess I "officially" became a femboy around the age of 18, where I more or less transitioned from a an androgynous goth to a "full on femboy." I am 20 years old now.
I faced many challenges in being myself; namely school and my father. I went to a private, religious, private, all male high school where homophobia was very present... I was bullied for a long while, but to be honest in hindsight the school was just full if silly people who were shallow enough to judge me only on the fact that I was a boy wearing makeup. Also, the school priest was arguably my best friend through that time, so that just goes to show you can find friendship and happiness anywhere
My father is was also a slight obstacle; a very homophobic and opinionated man.. At first I would avoid him; if I was leaving the house in a miniskirt or what ever I would wear jeans over the top. Though I quickly came to a realisation that that was stupid, and that I shouldn't be afraid to be me. So I just slowly became for feminine around him, I guess? I still get eye rolls and scoffs, but to be frankly honest I don't care, I'm happy and comfortable being myself, and that's what matters.

So to cut my story short, I was always rather feminine and pushing social "norms," so I never explicitly just became a femboy, it's more something that evolved over time. Sure I had a little strife but I'm more than happy with where I am today, and I have many wonderful friends I wouldn't trade for the world.
If you're a femboy and struggling, perhaps try small things. I remember for a while I wore stockings under jeans, panties, things that could be hidden.. But honestly, you shouldn't be afraid of who you are, and NEVER let people get to you; they're just jealous of how awesome you truly are

I feel like that was an essay and a half >~< Sorry for the wall of text!

Beat you by near double!

Ah but was yours typed on a phone~?! Hehe. But that you did. And your miniature essay was very heart warming

I never really fit in any gender role :/

-It started about 6 years ago, a little after High school, and I had been a furry for a few years prior to that. I started to realize I was leaning more towards feminine than masculine.

-Most of my challenges were facing the fact that its okay to be girly as a guy. Brought up heavily to believe that being feminine as a male was a weakness when in all reality society caused this norm. Mentally I felt wrong but yet I was so comfortable when I started to ware panties. It felt good to be comfortable and allow myself that right instead of basing my clothing and personality around those who felt otherwise.

- To this day I'm thankful to have people around me who support this journey. Without them I'm not sure I would have ever embraced it fully, and It took a while before those true friends and family members even showed acceptance as I was to caught up in my own anxiety to allow myself to think I'd even have support at all.

-If I could talk to myself back then, or someone who is figuring out who they are as I am still, I would tell them to embrace it. Don't hold back those feelings, even if you eventually don't become a Femboy don't deny exploration of yourself. You'll realize later on that discovering who you are while it can be scary will ultimately make you more comfortable.

-I would say I'm in an okay place right now, I'm still figuring out what I really want from all this but I know this. I'm comfortable, I'm smiling more each day, and while hardships will continue to happen I can keep my head up knowing I'm "Me" and not what someone wants me to be.

Support is a huge factor for me, Its nice to see you're willing to help him ~

When I joined the fandom, I realised that I'm a femboy.

Q: When did you become a femboy?
A: I was interested in femboys around the late 15 age, always been a bit of a slimmer build and by the age of 16 I decided to buy a skirt, some cute panties, a small top and some thigh-high socks from eBay on the cheap to see how I felt. Tried things on as soon as they arrived and instantly loved the image I saw staring back at me in the mirror. I keep the femboy stuff to my own house or on rare occasion the odd furry party, but far too shy to ever try it out and about.

Q: What challenges did you face?
A: Only challenge I initially faced was hiding it from my parents (as when I started I was still living with parents) I ddin't get to dress up often due to the fear of a parent walking in and getting a bit of a shock.
My girlfriend heavily dislikes the idea of me being a femboy. She knows about it, but I have to keep it separate from her... wich sucks to be blunt, but the other plus sides make up for things. Still a bit of an ongoing mental challenge fro me however.

Q: Were your friends and family supportive?
A: To my knowledge, the majority of my family don't know, however, my mother does. She has been supportive of whatever I try to do and I've had suggestions of places to get the odd bit of clothing from her also!
Friends were more than supportive (Those that weren't were few and far and got rid of themselves... no loss to me!) Some slightly unwanted attention from some, but I guess that's to be expected...

Q: What would you say to someone that's struggling with who they are and with coming out?
A: Depending on your situation and how your parents and family react to your other actions, I'd say don't force things, maybe try and introduce them slowly. Maybe not best to drop it on them like a bomb unless they're cool with whatever you choose to do! (Rather like my parents) Spend time figuring yourself out too, don't force yourself to be something you're not. If you're doing it purely to please others or gain attention, then I'd advise keeping things to yourself and not causing unnecessary conversation and possible argument!

Q: Have things got better since then, are you in a good place about yourself today?
A: I'm in a pretty good place about myself today, yes :) I don't get to act out the whole femboy thing very often (ie: with clothes and all) but I incorporate the odd bit of femmy clothing every once in a while if I need a perk up :)
Only thing I wish would be that my other half fully accepted it and that I could pull enough courage to gether to go completely public with things!
Compared to when I was 16 my whole life has improved ten fold, but that doesn't particularly pertain to the whole femboy thing!

...So much typing, I'm tired as it is! Ditto  talvifox sorry for the wall of text!!

Cause of you >:U ( XD)

As far as I can remember, I've had feminine tendencies; As a very young child, I went to dance classes, sang as a soprano in choir and the like, and have always had an interest in things like nail polish and makeup. However, for the first 12 or so years of my life, I was a short, very much overweight kid sporting a buzzcut, as it simply was what I was used to.

Around the age of 13, I'd started growing out my hair; this was a very large issue of contention with my family. Next, I wanted to dye it black- which was merely testing the waters before dying it brighter, more fun colors- which also became a big issue of contention with my family.

Somewhere around the age of 14 or 15 is when I came up with the first iteration of my fursona; he's essentially remained the same character through various iterations and name changes, albeit I'd consider the current iteration more ladylike than boyish. However, my fursona somewhat guided my own progression as a person; I'd slimmed down in high school, and began to make small changes like swapping out sweatpants for skinny jeans in terms of what I'd wear. After a while, I came to the realization that I really would be much more comfortable in womens' clothing and wearing cosmetics; however, this became a painful battle with my family. It'd take a year to summarize the pain that occurred during my conflicts with them, but all of my high school life was not very fun; it was full of many arguments, and much suicidal ideation. I'd bounced around from therapist to therapist and medication to medication, but I didn't seem to get anywhere. Yet, high school finally came to a close, my parents' viewpoints had slightly changed, and I was finally off to college.

In college is where I've felt I've really been able to live life as I wish; no longer am I under the watchful eye of people who'd take issue with my aesthetic, and I have many friends that don't mind at all how I choose to express myself.

My challenges came mostly from my environment- I lived in a small farm town, where any difference marked you as an outsider; my father was also a very traditionally Sicilian man, and my mother devoted to a very non-tolerant faith that many would consider a cult. I wouldn't say that they're bad people, but they had many bad ideas imbued into them from their own upbringings, and were not supportive. In my high school years, I also didn't have any friendships. Social relations aside, there are of course the issues of self-image that many a femboy faces; these have died down over the years, as I've both made changes to myself, and found people who genuinely love me for who I am. I did have struggles with self-esteem, and unfortunately got involved with many people/furries who I shouldn't have in an attempt to fill that gap.

I am in a very good place today, though I now fall more-so on the transgendered spectrum as I have begun hormone therapy. Still, the femboy image is very fond to me, and I am very glad that I shaped both myself and my character to reflect that.

For those who are struggling, I'd like to remind them that any situation is only temporary- for me, living with my family and being in high school in a small town were very painful to deal with. At the time, I'd felt like it'd never end- that life would always be dismal and painful. Yet, only a few years later, I'm in a great place. Don't be down on yourself if you're not in the place you want to be yet- stay true to yourself and you'll find your way someday. I'm of the belief that hardship builds character, and I'm glad to have had the experiences I've had to become the person I am today.

i have never been a femboi but i love them to death...they are the kind of people who are just so amazing and cute and make you so happy just to be around...i have the amazing luck of having the best boyfriend in the world who is a femboi <3

Still fighting it

Around the same time I stopped telling myself I was straight actually XD
That was the biggest factor keeping me from allowing myself to be girly, so once that was gone, so was my hesitation.
Although I still stick to being a femboy in personality (and fursona) only...for now. Once I get out on my own, the looks will come into place too X3

♥ Just a few months after Highschool, I realised how comfortable women's clothing is and wanted to wear them... I wanted a girly hair style, then I though, "Am I a girl?" No, I'm not. I like my dick, lol. I'm Genderfluid though because sometimes I do feel like a girl.

♥ Trying to get the clothing, so for both pieces I've gotten came from my ex.

♥ Supportive emotionally, but not financially... I have to buy the clothes and such myself.

♥ Find a group of people you can be yourself with. Lock your door and wear what you want! If you want to come out to the people you live with, drop subtile hints and observe their reactions... if it's too negative, hold back and wait 'til you can live on your own.

♥ Yes, but it's always been good for me. I just need a job to buy the clothing I want.

It was something very gradual for me, and was of course intrinsically linked to me being gay also.
It was something that built up over the years, I used to play around in my mother's clothes as a kid and as a teen - and really quite enjoyed how I looked in them.
But it wasn't until somewhere in my early twenties/late teens that it all kind of 'came out'. When I became psychologically independent and really started thinking for myself, and discovered the confidence to just go where my heart takes me. And so, here I am! xP

I've always been a bit more girly in my thoughts and I do want to look girly too,m I guess I realised this around 5 years back. nobody knows I'm like this though, though my parents sometimes make fun of how girly I can laugh or small things like that. my body is not fit for girly clothes and I'm way insecure about myself or or I'd be wearing them pretty often I guess.

♥ When did you become a femboy?

~Well, for my story I didn't really become one until my current relationship, because she got me into my first skirt, heh.. So just this year to be honest.

♥ What challenges did you face?

~It was very difficult for me because even now I still fear being judged. I'm still facing a lot of challenges of just trying to accept my own image.

♥ Were your friends and family supportive?

~my family doesn't know, at all. And as for friends? well.. only my soon to be wife and one friend who is a femboy as well. Other than that, I'm still hiding

♥ What would you say to someone that's struggling with who they are and with coming out?

~Well, I'd say I understand how they feel and that the struggle is real and to come out when they feel is ready, try it at home first, buy a couple wardrobes, and slowly show people you trust to get the support you will need in the future ^^

♥ Have things got better since then, are you in a good place about yourself today?

~I'm working on it still ^^; with what I'm going into, it's going to be extremely difficult for me... I say I am in a better spot than I was when I'd only think and dream about it for years on end when I turned 14 wanting to wear a skirt and I'm now 22 haha. Also I do identify myself as Male, and sometimes female, but mostly male... I'm a complicated specimen.

I think it because of anime. Been tons of them and starting to like these traps surprise stages XD.

I cannot RL. I dress in private, but I am shaped wrong to do it RL >.<

I'm not a Femboy myself but I love the look alot of them are very sexy I think.

Q: When did you become a femboy?
A: It's hard to place the actual date/time. However I do remember at a young age how I was always attracted to female clothing, personality and style. I even dressed feminine. Heck, I remember asking for a girl wig when I was like 7 years old. As of today, being a femboy is really a big part of my life.

Q: What challenges did you face?
A: I think I can speak for a lot of us when I say, social acceptance. Very few people in my life know that I identify as a femboy and some of that few are very encouraging. It's been a long process for me to "come out" as a femboy.

Q: Were your friends and family supportive?
A: Friends, yes. Family, I haven't told yet because I know that they most likely won't be supportive.

Q: What would you say to someone that's struggling with who they are and with coming out?
A: I would say three things: 1) Don't be afraid. You are who you are and nobody can tell you otherwise. 2) Don't underestimate the kindness, acceptance and love of others. It may be hard to believe, but that person/people you fear in telling, may just be more supportive than you ever expected. 3) Love yourself. I think this one is self-explanatory.

Q: Have things got better since then, are you in a good place about yourself today?
A: I would say a definite yes. I remember feeling so scared and so alone about a year ago this very moment. I felt that there was something wrong with me. I even considered that I might be experiencing gender dysphoria. But then I realized, it wasn't that serious. I just like being fem :3

Though i'm not a femboy myself i admire those who are and i think many of them are incredibly beautiful

it hit me about 2 years ago, i was walking through walmart and noticed some girly clothes that caught my eye and i bought them, ive always been a bit on the girly side, Shy, blushing alot, ETC...
when i was 2 all i wanted to play with was baby dolls and the like but my grandfather forced me to play with boy toys such as hot wheels and such.so now im secretly a femboi around my familly but around some of my friends im pretty open about it. today i draw alot of femboi artwork that may or may not get posted on here sometimes, as well as likeing cars, video games and guns. im a tomboi kinda femboi. ^w^

♥ When did you become a femboy?
I used to work at a clothing store when I was about 16, and I really liked looking at the children's clothing section... So many pretty colors! That's what sparked my interest, but it wasn't until recently (a couple years ago) that I saw some people on tumblr doing it, and was inspired to try myself.

♥ What challenges did you face?
Getting clothes, getting sizes, and ultimately coming out to the people that I did. I'm still pretty closeted.

♥ Were your friends and family supportive?
Family doesn't know. I live out on my own. My (ex) girlfriend was very unsupportive at first. She eventually came around and let me wear her clothes and stuff. She helps me shop occasionally, too. (Just to clarify, we broke up for reasons unrelated to being a femboy. She actually grew to like that part of me).

♥ What would you say to someone that's struggling with who they are and with coming out?
NOBODY GIVES A FUCK. Seriously. You're going to be judged regardless of who you are. You might as well be happy about yourself.

♥ Have things got better since then, are you in a good place about yourself today?
MUCH BETTER. I'm so much more comfortable with myself. There's still a lot for me to grow into, but I'm much happier than when I was afraid of trying.

I actually don't remember....it just....happened when i was being sissified in an RP...i just liked it, a lot

had my first black dress with 6 .-. but i guess i had it really as teen later in mind xD
