A trap is a term referring to an anime character who represents themselves both emotionally and physically as a different gender than they actually are. This can be said for any gender but it is most commonly used to describe a male character who dresses and is represented in a very feminine way. Even to the extreme where people in that show or the audience may mistake or assume the character to be a woman, only until its is specifically revealed to be wrong. Some people in the anime community have found this term to be offensive or even transphobic since the term is mostly used in a negative light. It is also easy for people to accuse characters of being traps, even if the a character is only doing something minor such as crossdressing, which most of the time does not fit the term since you are already known up front that they are not the gender they are presented as. So make sure when your using the phase it fits this definition!

Get the truth trapmug. A person that currently or previously identified as male and that presents as female/feminine, intentionally or unintentionally.
A trap is not synonymous with a transgender female, or even crossdresser.
The closest synonym would be femboy, however they aren't necessarily the same things
There are cases where someone will describe themselves with all four of these titles, as well.
Trap is derogatory when used with a trans woman or trans feminine individual who has not stated it is a label they use.
And is also inappropriate to use with someone who does not specifically use it as a way to label themselves, or okayed themselves in reference to it.

I've seen trans women that use trap as a label, maybe it's something with reclaiming it, I don't know.
Ever since I showed Jason that anime I My Me Strawberry eggs, he's been crossdressing and calling himself a trap.
A youtuber I like, Rinsenpai specified that trap, isn't something he's comfortable being described as.
