=What is a Femboy? Trap? Huh?=

We've been asked about this a lot during our events, so we've decided to post this here permanently for those who are not familiar with what a femboy, androgyn, trap or any other person of alternate gender is, here are some examples and explanations. This is for educational purposes only!

Three notes:
1- 'Gender queer' is a catch all for anyone not strictly male or female, so everyone here can be identified as such.
2- Many of these overlap and blur into others, no one is a 'perfect' example of just one thing as we are all unique, have different styles and cannot be stuffed into a neat little box ^_^
3- All these definitions are in the simplest terms possible and are not all encompassing of each. We put them in these terms so everyone can understand them.

*Femboys are males who are more effeminate, sometimes in their mannerisms, physical body, or dress, often blurring the line between male and female. (Note: Femboys are NOT twinks.)

*At first glance, an Androgyn's physical gender is not obvious or obviously defined.

*Traps can be male or female, but they pass as the opposite so well it's a surprise when you find out they aren't.

*Transgenders are NOT traps, they are mentally and/or physically the gender they identify with, regardless of whether their physical matches their mental identity.

*A person of Alternate Gender (also known as genderqueer) is anyone not strictly male or female as defined by society. This can be someone who cross dresses, is a trap, femboy, androgyn, futa, shemale, sissy, transgender, etc.

*A sissy is a male who adopts hyper-feminine behaviors, cross dresses and engages in stereotypical "feminine" activities, including taking on the "submissive female" role in a relationship. (Not all sissies are transgender.)

*A Tgirl looks exactly like every other girl, but has a little extra down below... usually a lot extra, actually, and has large breasts.

*Futa is short for futanari, which, in the hentai community, is a dick girl. A being that has the body of a female and the genitalia of a stallion and extremely large breasts.

*A ladyboy is a male who naturally has all the attributes of a woman except for the plumbing. Some ladyboys do not need surgery or makeup to look like a woman, nor is there a need to try and sound like a woman as it is all natural for them. Some are considered transgender and can be taking hormones or had breast augmentation to create a more feminine body.

Please note, sexual preference has nothing to do with gender identity. Femboys, traps, androgyns, transgenders and all other forms of alternate genders can be any sexual orientation, regardless of how they dress or appear outwardly.

I have also linked to blogs, but be warned, some pics are graphic and Adult in nature. The links to individual pictures we've supplied are all artistic and work safe ^_^v

The First Femboy & Alternate Gender Fashion Fair!

=Visual Mode: The First Femboy & Alternate Gender Fashion Fair=

Sponsored by NOP~ Events, .::[HTxDZ]::., .::Kre-ations::., *{Celestial}*, :{MV}:, OwltToast

DATES: January 31st to February 14th
THEME: Body Positive
CHARITY: The Human Rights Campaign for gender equality & LGBTQ rights. [http://hrc.org]

The Visual Mode is a charity fashion fair to raise awareness for gender equality both in and outside SL, with themes to raise awareness of other important issues having to do with gender identity and gender equality.

Positive body image is an issue regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Society teaches us from a young age you are either male, or female, and you must be the perfect example of that gender. This is bullshit and we all know it, but it doesn't change the fact. Even in SL, 'perfection' is an issue. Visual Mode believes that no matter your gender identity, sexuality, size, race, species or otherwise appearance that you ARE beautiful. This theme is to promote personal sense of beauty and positive body image regardless of gender identity, in and outside SL!

Gatcha's and donation vendors will be set up to sell items, with proceeds going to the Human Rights Campaign for gender equality & LGBTQ rights. Other items from participating vendors will also be available. Nothing will be over 100$L and gatcha's will be only 50$L each play.  There will be gatcha's and vendors set up from some of the best and most creative creators in SL! Everything from poses, hair, accessories, clothing and other fashion items from g-rated to adult will be available.

If you'd like to participate in Visual Mode as a creator, please read the attached NC and fill out the application. If you know a creator who would like to participate, please pass the NC on to them! Spots are limited to 60, so register now!
