The term "ladyboi" or "ladyboy" has been used to describe individuals, often teenagers, who identify as female but express masculine characteristics, dress in masculine attire, or identify as non-binary or queer. The phenomenon of "teen ladybois" has gained significant attention in recent years, particularly on social media platforms and online communities. However, there remains a dearth of academic research on this specific demographic. This paper aims to explore the intersection of gender, identity, and sexuality among teenage ladybois, examining the ways in which they navigate and negotiate their identities in the context of adolescence.

Butler, J. (1990). Gender trouble: Feminism and the subversion of identity. Routledge.

The concept of "ladyboi" challenges traditional notions of binary gender and sexuality, blurring the lines between masculinity and femininity. This blurring can be seen as a form of resistance to hegemonic norms, allowing individuals to express themselves in ways that feel authentic and empowering (Butler, 1990). However, it also raises questions about the stability and coherence of identity, particularly during a period of rapid social and emotional change.
