Are femboys usually cisgender?

1. Summary of the results

Based on the analyses provided, femboys are usually cisgender. Multiple sources confirm this directly and indirectly:

• Wikipedia explicitly states that a femboy is "usually cisgender" ^[1], providing the most direct answer to the question
• The sources consistently define femboys as individuals who identify as male but express themselves in feminine ways through clothing, makeup, and mannerisms while maintaining their male gender identity ^{[2] [3] [4]}
• A manga example demonstrates this distinction, where a femboy character named Hiura cross-dresses and uses masculine pronouns, but was mistranslated by publishers who changed the pronouns to feminine ones ^[5]
• Being a femboy is described as a form of gender presentation rather than a gender identity or sexual orientation ^[4], meaning individuals can express femininity while remaining cisgender males

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important nuances about the femboy identity:

• Femboys can have diverse sexual orientations - they can be gay, straight, or attracted to any gender, with their sexual orientation being separate from their gender expression ^{[2] [3]}
• The relationship between femboys and LGBTQ+ identity is debated - while some argue that gender non-conformity falls under the LGBTQ+ umbrella, others maintain that straight, cisgender femboys don't necessarily belong to the LGBTQ+ community ^[6]
• Femboys can also include non-binary and transgender individuals - while usually cisgender, the term isn't exclusively limited to cisgender males ^[4]
• The term "femboy" can be controversial when misapplied, particularly when used to describe trans women or in offensive contexts ^[7]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question itself doesn't contain misinformation, but it could benefit from clarification:

• The question implies a binary answer when the reality is more nuanced - while femboys are "usually" cisgender, there are exceptions ^[4]
• The question doesn't distinguish between gender identity and gender expression, which is crucial for understanding the femboy identity ^[4]
• There's no inherent bias in the question, but understanding the distinction between presentation and identity is essential to avoid conflating feminine expression with transgender identity, as demonstrated in the manga mistranslation example ^[5]
