A slang term used within some LGBTQ+ circles to describe a transgender man (FTM) who has undergone top surgery but has not had bottom surgery.
Often used in a reclaimed or self-identifying way, though it can be considered offensive or disrespectful depending on context, tone, and who is using it.
Origin:
Internet and queer subculture slang; blends crude language with identity labels, often used provocatively or humorously in niche communities.
Usage Notes:
Can be empowering when self-used, but offensive if used by others without consent.
Not a universally accepted or respectful term—use with caution.
Example:
“Yeah, I’m a pussyboy—flat chest, still working with what I’ve got, and proud.”
