What in the 4chan bullshit is this?
Anon is a closeted bi and open femboy, and just doesn't want to admit he likes it. Meanwhile, he's totally fine being someone's FB for free rent, but also feels guilty that he is kinda messing with his other friends in the meantime.
Basically, Anon is a moron.

When they say femboy they mean that they are a trans man that doesn't present itself as manly enough or a trans female that hasn't transitioned that much yet?
In one of those cases being into dudes would be being straight.
Transfeminine but doesn’t want to acknowledge it. It’s a thing, mostly on 4chan
That's what I assumed and I was making fun of the poster because if that were the case, being into guys would be being straight.
But that's our assumption, it's true that it might just be a dude that likes being feminine, no trans involved.
I've heard from a few transfem lesbian friends that one of the hardest parts of coming out to themselves as trans was that it would also mean acknowledging they're not straight, because if you're someone who feels like you're failing at being a man, attraction to women can be pretty grounding. "It was the one normal thing about me" - whole lot of internalised misogyny/transphobia/homophobia.
But that's our assumption, it's true that it might just be a dude that likes being feminine, no trans involved.
Quite right; labels like straight get pretty wibbly in situations like this. I find it sad because the current prevalence of homophobia and transphobia makes it hard for us to collectively understand what would it mean to be a cis-het femboy who takes HRT — for us to conceptualise of a world where that isn't a contradiction. Bigotry makes it harder for people to explore their true selves, regardless of their gender or sexuality.
No, a femboy is a feminine boy. They usually crossdress or at least dress androginously. They don't necessarily want to transition or take HRT (although this one does).
Given that this one does, and that a trans person that wants to transition would refer to themselves as the gender they want to transition, they would be a trans male. However it's 4chan and fake so I bet they meant a trans female, where being into dudes would be being straight.
He can still be an amab femboy and take hrt to become more feminine without transitioning to become a woman. He does not claim to be trans, just a femboy.

being a fuck toy for free rent. holy fucking based
I've heard it called being "homelessexual"
bro im gonna coom
Can't tell if oop is transman or transwoman or cis guy on hrt. No matter which one they are still bi and should just learn to accept it.
since by straight they meant liking women I assume it's a transman no? I'm unsure too though

I can't believe no one else said this but I feel it's necessary...
Fake and gay
Lots of fake shit all over Lemmy lately. Clogged with bot gen crap and memes.
Queer and insincere, even.

Is self-identified cis people getting HRT a thing? I'm genuinely curious, I assume it's all DIY, right? In any case, that was a wild ride
I know a straight cis femboy who wants to take HRT - I dont fully understand it, but I respect its his right to do what he wants with his body and identify however he pleases.
Some people just want more customization options I guess
They never said cis, did they? Could be a transman.
wonder how some of the greedier telehealth hrt providers (not naming names but it's all on Google) would react if someone straight up said "I'm cis but want to be more attractive to a certain demographic, gimme the femboy pills". I'd give 70/30 they'd eventually agree.
p.s. personally I think hrt should be maximally cheap and sold over the counter.
That’s something informed consent should permit. “Here are the effects, do you want them?”
Yeah a cis dude might get testosterone if his normal testosterone is low. I assume there's something similar for women. I don't think that's what this guy is talking about though.
It's fairly common for women to start taking estrogen post menopause because their estrogen levels drop, and that can cause issues like losing bone density. I believe HRT was originally developed specifically for that reason, and it was only later that they tried using it to treat gender dysphoria.
But in this case, they specifically call out being a femboy on HRT, which I think pretty clearly says that they're on estrogen for that female figure. Whether it's DIY or just informed consent is anyone's guess, though.
That's one possibility I thought off, but there's another one: He says he's straight, but doesn't mention being cis, so he could be a trans man taking testosterone (HRT isn't necessarily estrogens).
