boi may be used to denote a number of sexual orientations and possibilities that are not mutually exclusive: • A submissive
butch in the

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".

Dat Boi meme: an animation of a frog on a unicycle usually accompanied by the caption "Here come dat boi. (O shit waddup!)"
