An archetypal character in anime/manga, although real life people can perform the role as well.
Cisgendered characters, usually male, who has the appearance (and sometimes, character traits) of an attractive member of the other sex.
Transgendered individuals are definitionally not a trap. Calling them such can be taken to be offensive, due to it being a form of erasure.
Often, but not always, a crossdresser.
Can be after sexual attention, and/or be homosexual. In any case, neither are defining traits, although often debated by fans and anti-fans.
A popular meme is an ongoing debate on whether liking traps (or disliking them) is gay.

Normie: Hey, that cartoon character is hot. 10/10 would bang.
Nerd: Um, Actually, it's an anime character. Also, he's a trap.
Nerd 2: The D makes it better though amirite?
Nerd 1: Traps are like, completely gay dude
Nerd 2: Only 2.19% gay
Nerd 3: Actually, if you define straight as being attracted to girliness, and gay is the opposite, not being attracted to a trap means you're not attracted to the girliness so that means not liking traps is gay.
Everyone: Wat.

A crossdresser, usually a fictional character in an anime, who dresses up in the opposite gender's clothing to trick people into thinking that they're the opposite gender. Term comes from the anime trope of a character dressing up in drag to trick people into thinking that they're the opposite gender.
Not to be confused with transgenderism, which is a person transitioning to the opposite gender.

Usually found within an anime/manga/ero doujin, this is when a male (usually a young teen) who is small and skinny dresses in women's clothes, creating a dangerously effective illusion in which they present themselves as female. This terrifyingly deception technique is the reason that they were given the name 'traps'.
Many brave straight warriors have fallen to the traps, being brainwashed into believing that it's not gay if they look like a girl. Just remember, if you are to one day find yourself about to go down on a trap, think to yourself; "Nigga that's gay asf"

Preteen girl rushes up and says
Trap: Hello, onii-chan, would you like to come to my place and have fun?
Straight Warrior 1: Well of course little girl, I'd love to!
Straight Warrior 2: Wait! Good brother!
Straight Warrior 2 reaches up the girl's long, frilled dress and feels a small penis
Straight Warrior 2: Stay back! It's a trap, I say, A TRAP!
The Trap, having been caught, hisses viciously before scuttling away down a sewage pipe
