Pretty Boys

This thread started with a lot of promise, but ultimately couldn't keep it up. I mean, most of pics belong to the other threads like the ones on femboys. What's so special about this thread then?

This is your only post in this thread, and you slam the thread. Why don't you make your point by showing us, with a picture or more, what you mean? There are numerous discussions on this board about the differences between "femboys" and "pretty boys" and between "ladyboys" and "femboys," ad infinitum. Your post, as it stands, does nothing to advance the discussion.

Here I post some of the pics which I think would strengthen my case at the risk of being labeled as "gay". I love these boys. And they can't be called ladyboys or femboys for that matter. They are just on the borderline of transformation.

Your earlier post and this post are quite confusing. You write that these pics would "strengthen" your "case," and from your initial I would conclude that your "case" is that this once-promising thread couldn't keep it up (I guess "it" is the promise, although the promise is unclear), that most of the pics belong -- according to you -- to other threads, and that you believe there is nothing special about this thread (I draw the latter conclusion from what I assume is a rhetorical question: "What's so special about this thread then?").

It seems you believe you have some insight into what definitively determines whether someone is a "femboy" or "pretty boy" or now, with your newer post, a "ladyboy." I believe that these labels are extremely malleable. The appropriate approach to take is, in my opinion, to be ecumenical with our classifications and, much more important, to accept however an individual identifies. Thus, if the person in your first picture identifies as a woman, then that person is a woman. If the person in your second picture identifies as a "femboy" or "pretty boy" or "boi" or whatever, then I accept it.

Finally, there is a lot of discussion on this site about being "gay." You seem to be concerned about being so labeled. I suggest you do a search and read some of these posts. Why anyone would worry about such a label is beyond me.

I believe SMC has touched upon a subject near and deer to my hart. The young boy that has feminine features and qualities holds that extra intriguing, ingredient that makes them extremely difficult to categorize or pigeonhole. Think about it they could pass as a cute boy or a cute girl they also could get all dolled up and pass for a young woman. They could pass for a very pretty cross dresser, and if they decide to go all the way and become a transsexual then they will make for a very fine looking one.
Yes this individual has all of these worlds open to them so you have to let them identify them selves.all I care about is that they are hot and they have the ability to keep me guessing. Kitty Cox The Itriguing 3rd Sex

I have been involved before in similar discussions on other 'adult' boards about labeling people with certain sexual urges / desires as "straight", "bi" or "gay". Honestly speaking, I don't give a hoot about how some people might want to label me or others.

The same in here. "Lady Boy", "Pretty Boy" or "Fem Boy", it makes no difference to me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and consenting adults should be free to do whatever they like. And great to see a bit of variety in here.

i see on all theses threads, new titles being invented..

all of the women are transexuels m2f whether there pre-op or post-op.

or you can call them shemales,trannies ect...

a ladyboy is a shemale ans also a transexuel...just diffrent words thats all.

now your version of a femboy looks like crossdressers.guys that live a men but dress up in women clothing. then you have tranvestities which never do any surgery to alter there bodies to look like a women, they just dress and live as women....crossdresser or dragqueen...gay or straight or bi men that have no desire ever to be a women but like to dressup...or do live shows dressed up as women.just because you see a shemale with no tits is because she cant afford them yet....now young guys starting out that have a fem look they could be called androgynis if i spelled that right....ok stop creating names and titles to understand this lifestyle....you have to venture away from your pc and go to a gayclub,where there will always be a transexuel...talk to her,hey buy her a drink and dance and then when your dating her shell fill you in on alot of info......

Such arrogance to title a post "lets set the record straight" and then proceed to determine for others what they will be called. This member completely misses the point. We are not making up new titles. The many thoughtful posts on this site that discuss what the member says are "just different words" (implying that they are not particularly important) are all anchored by a common theme: that people have the right to self-determine their gender identity. We also know, from some of our own trans members, that their is a strong aversion (granted, not complete) to the wordy "tranny" outside of the porn world. And we know from some our Asian members who prefer to be called ladyboys that they do not like the word "shemale."

Yes, words matter, joeygetsits, as I am sure you would agree if someone went around referring to you in a way that undercut the very way that you personally see yourself.

You are correct, most despise the word Shemale and Tranny. But, what is funny is that a certain portion of the Transgender's, especially the ones I know, they use the term tranny, like black people use the "N" word. It's OK to call each other tranny, or they will refer to someone as a "hot tranny mess" which as you can imagine, isn't a good thing. LMAO
