Challenges facing black femboys

Black femboys face a host of challenges in our day-to-day lives.

• Systemic Racism

The archetypal image of a femboy is an Asian or white boy who is skinny and is regarded as dainty and angelic.

Due to black historical roots, black femboys sadly still face racism and discrimination based on their skin color because,

even worse, nobody wants to see a black boy being soft and feminine.

It is a deep-rooted issue that black femboys have to deal with.

• Discrimination

As black femboys, we are not immune to discrimination that stems from the community at large expecting us to conform to societal standards of what it means to be black and a boy.

As black people, we are generally expected to be hardy, but this can feel different for us black femboys.

We are discriminated against for being soft, yet we are black, just as we are discriminated against for being feminine.

• Finding fitting femboy clothes and outfits

Because most clothes are made with the heterosexual dynamics of masculinity and femininity in mind, finding femboy clothes can be daunting.

For instance, as femboys with larger back muscles, we have to opt for larger-sized feminine sweaters just as vintage jeans do not fit.

As a result, we often opt for DIY options if we want to experiment with many styles, although we all know this process can be tiring.

• Mental and Psychological Problems

The overall impact of discrimination and alienation that black femboys face can be daunting to our mental health.

On average, LGBTQ individuals report more negative psychological outcomes, with black respondents reporting 54%.

Hence, black femboys should be a protected population from mental issues stemming from black discrimination.

We add to this authenticity by being conscious of our fashion choices while taking good care of our skin and bodies.

Also, we are proud to be part of the black community, and thus, we drive trends that foster our visibility in the domains of technology, entertainment, art, and education.

Because of the challenges that we face as black femboys that can be rooted in how others view our skin and sexuality, we are aware that individuality is the key to our liberation, and we do not shy away from it.
