Used to be that a femboy was just a feminine boy, a trans woman was a woman, and a trap was a man who passed for a woman. Because of zoomer anime addiction and woke culture, femboy is now just the new word for trap and actual femboys have been replaced.

i mean hrt femboys are literally transsexual females. and many of the most popular (i.e: passing) femboys who dont take E can be intersex hormonally and/or get laser hair removal done

I don't believe there's really a metaphysical difference between the two, it's just a matter of how we construct our schemas of defining them. One man's femboy is another man's trans woman.

It's also a matter of identity of course. Trans women identify with womanhood and navigate society within the female role, whereas femboys still identify as men and navigate society within the male role. Obv this is complicated by the fact that many femboys pass as women better than some trans women, but I would say that it works as a general rule of differentiation, with exceptions.
