- This is surprisingly hard to find cites for. I added two, although one seems to be a self-published book. There is a use of "T Boys" (with a space) in the meaning of FTM people here, but it appears as part of a Facebook group name rather than being directly used, so I don't know whether it counts. I found another similar example referring to a pornographic film whose title contains "T-boy" (warning: has NSFW imagery): [1].
- There is also a mention in the third footnote here.
- In the process of writing this comment, I found another unambiguous use, albeit self-published: [2], which I guess makes three if we want to count it (we already quote the same book on the entry monsterful, so I suppose it is admissible). 70.172.194.25 04:08, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
- Tip for finding citations: try adding related key words to the Google search to narrow the results (e.g. "t-boy" transgender). Nothing in CFI precludes the use of self-published print books. For every Eye of Argon-quality waste-of-a-tree published through Lulu, there are professional-quality books from writers/collectives who don't have the resources, connections, or inclination to publish through traditional routes. And it's not like self-publication is new. Jane Austen self-published her first two books. WordyAndNerdy (talk) 08:05, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
- I did add related words. It's not like there are a lot of good results though, I think I got basically all that are findable on Google Books or the Internet Archive except for a few debatable ones (which are mentiony / using it as part of a name for something). (To be fair, there are probably uses in magazines and the like, but it's kinda impossible to tell what articles actually have been published in print vs. only online, which is why I tend to avoid them when possible.) Still, it's cited. 70.172.194.25 08:59, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

T or Tee in front of a cajun name.[edit]
T-Boy in Cajun has nothing to do with gender as the above suggests. Ti, Tee or T is a masculine meaning for Junior or Little. See the following link. https://www.explorelouisiana.com/articles/how-speak-cajun#:~:text=Ti%20(masculine)%20or%20'tite,the%20name%20rather%20than%20after. JoeyNiq (talk) 20:01, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
