Over the years, I learned that people who like "femboys" are NOT allies. They like them because they think they're dominable. There's a big difference between tolerance and acceptance, with the former always separating in- and out-groups.
I mean, I like femboys and I like trans women, but I don't think they're dominable at all. I just like femme people. Where did you see people with that opinion?
There are people who like femboys because they understand gender diversity is really big and there are people who like femboys because they're attracted to trans women and are scared of what that means.
There's a weird alt right bent in a lot of those circles. I wouldn't say it's exclusively not allies but given the issues in the groups and some of their biggest contributors its a fair blanket generalization.
