[1][2] The term has also been used, independently of any meaning related to sexuality, as an alternate spelling for boy.
The plural is bois, and may be addressed to a mixed, or any single sex, group.
[4] The term boi may be used to denote a number of sexual orientations and possibilities that are not mutually exclusive:[5] Boi may also refer to someone assigned female at birth, who generally does not identify as, or only partially identifies as feminine, female, a girl, or a woman.
[9] Many trans bois are also genderqueer/nonbinary (in itself a trans/transgender group), or might identify as cis persons or trans men, and yet practice genderfuck in which they do not fit in either masculine or feminine binary gender presentation.
[3] The term came into popular culture again with the song "Sk8er Boi" by Avril Lavigne.
