Boi (plural: bois) is slang within LGBT and butch and femme communities for a person's sexual or gender identities.12 In some lesbian communities, there is an increasing acceptance of variant gender expression, as well as allowing people to identify as a boi.345 The term boi may be used to denote a number of other sexual orientations and possibilities that are not mutually exclusive:6
A boyish lesbian.7
A submissive butch in the BDSM community.8
A young trans man, or a trans man who is in the earlier stages of transitioning.8
A younger bisexual or gay person who may have effeminate characteristics. The term can also be used by anyone who wishes to distinguish from heterosexual or heteronormative identities.8
Boi may also refer to someone assigned female at birth, who generally does not identify as, or only partially identifies as feminine, female, a girl, or a woman. Some bois are trans or intersex people.9 Some "bois" identify as one or more of these, but they almost always identify as lesbians, dykes, or queer. Many trans bois are also genderqueer/nonbinary (in itself a trans/transgender group), or might identify as cis persons or trans men, and yet practice genderfuck in which they do not fit in either masculine or feminine binary gender presentation. Bois may prefer a range of pronouns, including "he", "she", or nonbinary and gender-neutral pronouns such as "they".10

Get the I knew some Thai and boi you sucks! mug.This became a phrase seen, earlier on the internet.. it’s because boys aren’t “supposed” to cry so when they hold in their tears for so long, it starts to bottle up. Hence, the once trendy boy’s tears bottle phonecases and such
