== Other Definitions ==
Boi, as an identity or descriptor, originated independently in multiple [[LGBT+]] subcultures in the mid-to-late 1990s. Most definitions can be broadly described as "[[masculinity]] which is not cisheteronormative." Some of these possible definitions include:
* A young, [[Femme|effeminate]] [[gay]] or [[bisexual]] man.
* A young, boyish [[lesbian]]. This may overlap with [[butch]], but boi tends to have a slightly different connotation. Bois are typically described as young, sexually free, and less mature than butchs, though the exact difference may vary among different local cultures.
* A young [[Transgender|trans]] man, or a trans man who is in the early stages of transitioning.
* People who were [[AFAB]] who identify as male or with masculinity to some extent, but not fully.
