FemboyPup (he/him), also known as "Pup" to his followers, is an Australian queer femboy content creator across multiple social media platforms whose popularity began on Instagram. He is also an advocate for sexual and gender diversity.
His fashion style is influenced by elements of early femboy fashion, kawaii, grunge, cyber, femme, and techwear aesthetics, always accompanied by his iconic large, black and silver puppy ears. His content is developed with his trademark 80s neon aesthetic lighting, making his content and style immediately recognisable.[1]
Background
FemboyPup is a 20-something Australian with Greek heritage who has always enjoyed creative pursuits. Despite being somewhat confident about his sexuality from a fairly early age, he felt unable and unsafe to explore dressing more androgynously until his 20s. It was around this time when he discovered the femboy community online, which inspired and affirmed his desired gender expression. Soon after, he realised that his gender identity also matched his newfound gender expression as a femboy. He now proudly identifies as being non-binary and bisexual.
Online Career
FemboyPup started using Instagram in 2020 as a medium to express his identity as a femboy. Over the years, his artistic posts highlight femboy and genderqueer fashion, bisexual visibility, gender diversity, and various queer relationship dynamics. FemboyPup's popularity in the femboy community also led him to branch out into posting on Twitter under the same handle.[2] FemboyPup has collaborated with other queer content creators both locally and internationally.[3][4]
Instagram ban
On March 30, 2022, FemboyPup's original Instagram account, "FemboyPup_Official" which had 16,000 followers, was banned. The ban was presumably for posts of him wearing a bikini at a beach, which was allegedly seen as "sexual nudity".[1]
Twitch
In 2022, FemboyPup began Twitch streaming where he streams retro and indie games, hosts chats, and Q&As under the same well-known retro neon aesthetic. He often collaborates with other well-known queer Twitch streamers such as stardust_sigil.[5]
LGBTQIA+ Advocacy
In addition to being vocal about his identity on social media, he has been involved in other bi+ advocacy in Australia. In the last few years, he has been involved in bi+ community consultation committees and panels for research, as well as representing bi+ people in pride marches. FemboyPup (along with his non-binary femme bi+ partner, QueenVixen) has marched in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade for bi+ visibility in 2022 and for Sydney World Pride in 2023. FemboyPup is the first known identified femboy to have marched in the parade with visible femboy representation. He has been photographed in 2022 marching in the parade holding a bi+ visibility umbrella with a femboy flag drawn on it; an image which has been used as promotional material representing bisexuality by the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras on their social media and podcast.[6][7][8][9]
