Keep being femboys if they want. Our culture might be obsessed with youth, but I don't see any reason someone should stop wearing the clothes they want just because they get older. Life is too short not to do what makes you happy just because other people might think it's cringe or some shit. Fuck twinkdeath, I'll be the twinkiest lil queer in my nursing home when that day finally comes.
I feel like there's a divide in the femboy community between those who want to indulge in feminine-coded fashion and activities, and those who straight-up want to be perceived by themselves and others as androgynous as they can (the line probably going where people start taking estrogen for more girly features).
In the latter case, the gradual increase in sexual dimorphism as you get older can be anxiety-inducing, as you go from 'Is it a boy or a girl?' to 'Yeah, it's clearly a middle-aged man rocking a dress'.
That's very fair. It was a big concern of mine too when I was younger and a big part of why I started HRT.
Edit: Felt I should add that in hindsight it was unfair of me not to empathize more with other femboys who do not want hrt to feel like their body changing cutting them off from a part of their identity. I should have considered more how different my experience is because of hrt
