  • In short: Femboy is about presenting as a very feminine man, men doing that can include trans men.

    Slightly longer: It’s why there are different categories for sex, gender assigned at birth, gender identity and gender expression. A femboy would identify male and express feminine. The opposite is a tomboy, somebody who identifies as female and expresses in a masculine manner, both are not necessarily linked to the individuals sex and/or gender assigned at birth.

    Trans refers to a different gender identity than the gender assigned at birth and doesn’t come into play here.









  • Love to see those carbon steel pans, but eggboy has overloaded them with oil.

    Those pans are naturally non-stick and you only need a bit of oil in them for a good fry and to keep the non-stickyness. That much oil can make them tacky and will make the eggs crunchy and dry insted of giving them that tasty pan-fried surface finish.





  • The reasons just don’t necessarily come with any moral take away attached.

    Children get bone cancer for purely physical reasons, yes, but there is no plan behind it, nothing that makes the situation better in any way and this is how the phrase is usually being used. It’s people saying: “Don’t be sad, something good will come of it.” to the faces of grieving parents or deathly ill people who have nothing to look forward to but pain.

    Religious/spiritual proselytising has completely alienated the phrase from the methodological naturalism it could express.
