[[Boi]] (pronounced the same as "boy"; plural "bois") is, generally speaking, a youthful, [[androgynous]], [[queer]] identity that originated in African American culture in the 1990s. Some argue that only People of Color have the right to call themselves bois. Beyond this, the word has a variety of meanings, which are very different from one community to the next. In the lesbian community, bois are masculine, but the word means the opposite in the gay male community. Some people who identify as bois use it as a [[transgender]] [[nonbinary]] [[gender identity]], but other bois aren't transgender.
[[Boi]] (pronounced the same as "boy"; plural "bois") is, generally speaking, a young gay  man who is under the age of 25. This identity originated in the North American gay community in and around 2000 and was widely adopted by young gay men. Some lesbian youth who are more masculine and those who identify as trans mistakenly employ this term as they have yet to define a common vernacular to describe themselves. That said, Zoi, zeeshe, goi and shoi are now the common descriptors for the FTM trans people. Even older gay men - those 25 and older who wish to cling to their youth - use it to describe themselves.
