| “ | Fauxtywoman & Fauxtygirl - A label for when you're a "man/boy" for safety reasons, don't want to explain your true gender identity to someone you know will not understand it, you've came out as a man/boy / masc-aligned gender long ago and it has since changed but you don't want to go through the trouble of having to come out again, you enjoy being called a man/boy and other masculine terms but you are not a man/boy in any way or not just a man/boy, or your man-ness/boy-ness feels false! It can be any of these reasons, multiple of them, or only one. | ” |
