Boi can also refer to a female-born or female-bodied person - sometimes transsexual, transgendered, or intersexed, sometimes not - who generally does not identify wholly or at all as being feminine, female, a girl, or a woman, though some bois identify as one or more of these. Bois almost always identify as lesbians, dykes, or queers; many are also genderqueer or genderfucked. Bois can prefer a range of pronouns, including 'he,' 'she,' or gender-neutral pronouns; it's usually best to ask to avoid offence.

Some transmen identify as bois, but others object to being called 'boi,' preferring to simply be called 'boy,' 'man,' or 'transman.' As with pronouns, the best way to avoid using the wrong word is to ask. Some butch lesbians also identify as bois, and some people use the word 'boi' to refer to a young butch. In some BDSM communities, 'boi' is used as a term for a submissive or bottom butch.
