The opposite is transmasculine or transmasc.
I don't know if I would consider myself a trans woman, but I'm definitely transfem.

A person who is biologically male, but who presents in a feminine way, for example by wearing feminine clothing, feminine hairstyles and/or make-up.

A femboy is similar to a crossdresser, in that they both present in a feminine way. But to a crossdresser this is seen as a special activity, which he only takes part in in certain situations, while a femboy presents this way as part of his personal style and presents this way in daily life.

The term 'femboy' refers only to an esthetic and not to a gender identity. Most femboys still identify as male, though others identify as genderqueer or even as female. Due to the word 'boy' in the name, it is usually only used for young people, typically under the age of 30.
I've started wearing nail polish. I really like this femboy look.

I saw Flynn wear a dress yesterday. Does he identify as a woman now? - No, he's just a femboy.
