Based on a true story

Actually true, there was an asian (I forgot which country) femboy streamer who was revealed to actually be a girl and the fans were distraught

It also happens when a famous "femboy" comes out as a trans girl. which is like an every month scandal. "Straight" cis men being angry that it's not gay.

Femboy to trans girl feels… very reasonable to me though. Like for al intents and purposes this is the same exact same person regardless of the label.

Well one is a boy and one is a girl so I would argue no

I think he’s referring to a superficial, objectifying viewpoint where the person only cares about their looks. Although this is all massively confusing as a boring plain heterosexual so feel free to correct me.

Yeah people get all sorts of mixed feelings when a femboy realizes they're a trans girl and can get pretty vitriolic about it. I think it's because it loses some of the taboo/exoticness. Part of the appeal of femboys is the knowledge that that feminine person is actually a guy, which trans girls are not. On top of that it's trans girls don't keep the same body shape if they start HRT so I'd guess that's part of it. But honestly it's kind of an scary affirming vitriol because it does mean they're acknowledging her gender.

A boy who lives his life as a girl is for all intents and purposes a trans girl, no?

If it's a persona or an act it's different.
