What’s a T? and what’s a Po?
If you have to ask, you’ll probably never need to know
True what rocket says, but I’ll bite: T stands for a “manlier” looking part in a lesbian couple, “P” or “Po” for a more girly looking one.
T = Tomboy
P = ???
Anyone know???
Po as in Lao Po (wife) maybe?
I think it’s Prettygirl.

Really?
That’s how I refer to you offline.
This is certainly awkward
T = transgender
P … no idea
PO is for POST. for example 在臉書PO文 (to post something in Facebook)
Po as in Lao Po (wife) maybe?
Yes, this is correct. T is tomboy and Po is short for T-Po (i.e. “wife of tomboy”).
T = transgender
No? ok no issue
No?
No, the T in “T and P” does not mean “transgender.”
Can I ask a question about the tomboy? It’s not my intention to be insulting but I can see how it might be perceived this way.

I’m not sure anyone here is qualified to answer you definitively
I have definitely covered this before…
P describes a lesbian who dresses and styles herself in a girly way, aka a lipstick lesbian.
Yeah it’s different from the English terminology. P for femmes, T for butch girls. I think you might have misunderstood this; T stands for tomboy and not trans girls. Po referring to 婆, so it’s kinda like “wifey,” if anyone’s wondering. I think it’s cute slang.
There it is!

Well, to me, there is nothing manly about the tomboy. To me, the tomboy looks like an out of shape nerdy type, at least with the couples here in Taiwan. A bit on the pudgy side, usually not tall, no muscle, no edge and very soft looking, etc. Now I know the goal is not to actually be exactly like a man, but I just don’t get it. Sorry if I’ve offended anyone.
Is this Taiwan slang, or something more broad? Also, how polite is it to use this slang?

I don’t think it’s polite or impolite, but it might be kind of weird and maybe inappropriate as you’re not a lesbian and so it’s not really within your domain.

You’re all quite a bit out of your depth here. Just accept that different people are attracted to different characteristics.
