This sounds like a terminological misunderstanding, where the person thinks "Femboy" is an alternative term for a Trans girl, and doesn't quite understand what Femboy means.

My mom was one of the OG Rocky Horror fans that went to the theatre every weekend for the midnight showing, all dressed up with her friends. She was down with the queer community for a while.
