For those who don’t know, this subreddit is supposed to be a place where feminine men/femboys can openly discuss their experiences relating to their femininity. Boys with strong feminine qualities are often ridiculed by society, and therefore these individuals are often forced to hide their true personalities in their daily lives. That is why [r/feminineboys](https://www.reddit.com/r/feminineboys/) was supposed to be the one place where feminine boys could be open about their true selves and discuss their experiences without having to worry about being shunned by the surrounding community. Well, sadly that isn’t the case. Not even close.

The subreddit literally has a rule banning any and all right wing opinions, and you can get banned from there simply for posting in subreddits that the mods consider “right wing”. Reddit in general is already a dumpster fire, but this subreddit in particular has reddit’s censorship and political bias put on steroids. Even if you don’t post anything political or “right wing” on the subreddit itself, the mods sometimes stalk through your entire post history and ban you instantly if they see that you’ve made any comments that in any way favour the political right.

In addition to this, the subreddit overall just has a really strong far left, extreme politically correct atmosphere to it. People there get offended if you use the word “trap” to describe crossdressers even if these crossdressers refer to themselves as traps. There is also this mob mentality where any individual who in any way displays that they are attracted to a femboy is instantly labelled a “chaser” and shamed for supposedly being “creepy” and “predatory”.

I’m a feminine boy with some moderate right wing political opinions myself and this subreddit honestly makes me feel disgusted. I’ve struggled with my femininity for years. At school I was always the kid who got called gay and people made fun of me for being unusually feminine for a boy both physically and mentally, to the point where I had a long period in my life where I hated those aspects of myself. My family and relatives always joked about how I “look like a girl” and how they “can’t tell the difference between me and my sister” and it made me insecure about my looks for a long time. The truth is I want to be feminine because that’s just how I am, but I don’t want people to constantly make fun of me for it. I thought this subreddit would’ve finally been a place where I could talk to other people openly who have had similar experiences as me, but as it turns out, it’s just another community that agressively shuns me and others like me because of their extreme political bias. I genuinely feel like I have no place where I belong either online or in real life. The communities that are supposed to be for people like me throw me out because of their extreme left wing bias that can’t tolerate even a single one of my moderately right wing views. I thought it was supposed to be a place of acceptance but as it turns out, it’s just another echochamber that only accepts you if you perfectly fit their far left guidelines.

Honestly, it just feels as if feminine boys aren’t allowed to have right wing opinions. It’s like they automatically expect all of us to be far left puppets that they can use for their own political agenda and we aren’t allowed to really think for ourselves and have any other opinions than what is the mainstream in the femboy community. All I can say is that it feels insulting. Feminine boys should be allowed to form their own political opinions just like any other humans.

Edit: I forgot to mention this but that subreddit has really gone overboard with how sensitive they are about language. I literally couldn’t care less if someone calls me a “trap” but I can get banned from that subreddit even for calling myself a trap. It’s absolutely ridiculous. It feels like these people are just looking for something to get upset about so that they can get victim credit points. And remember, this is coming from a person who themselves crossdresses. My friends call me a trap sometimes and I literally couldn’t care less because there is literally nothing there that any reasonable person would care about. And keep in mind that this subreddit isn’t even meant for transwomen so they can’t even make the “transphobia” argument to defend banning the word.
