Traps are gay

ITT newfags newfagging

Trap = male who passes as female
When a trans girl passes they're a trap. A dichotomy exists, but it's trans vs crossdressers, traps are not and have never been only crossdressers, that's new shit from the last couple years.
Don't fall for the newfag rebranding

you faggots are in desperate need of this pasta

Trap = genetic male who completely passes as female, thus being capable of "trapping" someone. Includes crossdressers and trans girls.

Trans girls = genetic males who consider themselves women. They usually live as women full time and make an effort to appear as much like women as possible, which can include the use of hormone replacement therapy and/or feminization surgeries. Not all trans girls pass, so not all trans girls are traps

Shemale/tranny = porn terms for trans girls - they tend to have a bimbo-fied look because that's what directors think people want to see. These terms are also seen as derogatory by trans girls

Crossdresser = man who occasionally dresses in women's clothes as a hobby or a fetish. They count as traps when they can completely pass. But it's rarer for them since they don't have a full time commitment or any help from hormones or surgery

Femboy = a very feminine looking gay man, more so than a twink. Doesn't necessarily have to pass or even crossdress, but most do crossdress and they're more likely to pass and be traps than regular cross dressing men

Sissy = a fetish for extreme submission involving crossdressing and feminization. Literally anyone can be a sissy, there's no looks-requirement for it, it's just a kink and a state of mind

Now for a bit of history:
Shemales were the first to be called traps on /b/ when anons would troll with their pics and later reveal the dick. Anyone who says "traps can't be trans" is a newfag who wasn't there when it started. And almost immediately as the shemale/trap trolling started, animefags started using the term and applying it to characters who look 100% like girls but are called males. Back in the day Bridget was the popular one, now it's Felix and Astolfo. Nowadays there seems to be a disconnect of the term with animefags - on their children's cartoons the characters are usually always referred to as boys and not as trans girls, so a lot of them think traps can't be trans.

Another thing that's really messing up the terminology is the growing faggotry in /b/ trap threads. I'd say at least 80% of the posts don't actually pass anymore, it's mostly attentionwhoring crossdressers and people reposting pics not caring if who they're posting passes. So people start thinking those count as traps and that it doesn't matter if they pass 100%. Also a lot of people see amateur passing traps as a foil to the bimbo-looking shemales - shemales have the ridiculous plastic surgery slutty look, so people tend to fixate more on traps that have a cute girl-next-door type look to contrast that. Although it's not a necessary part of the term.

And also there's a new movement among some trans girls to distance themselves from the trap term - they see it as another derogatory porn fetish and think it implies they're just pretending to be girls when they really are girls. So they try to say traps aren't trans to push the term away from them. But it doesn't change the fact that it started with trans girls, and in the end the only thing that matters is whether the person passes or not.

most of femboys are in fact boymoding trannies who try to hinder the breast growth

agreed, circumcision is fucking gross

but shouldn't there be a distinction? If some traps don't pass as women then what is the point of the categorization?
seems like big shitty go around, if you ask me

What are you talking about, "trap" IS the distinction for those who pass

some of crossdressers and trannies also can be called traps but not all
