Why so?
We could keep “boyish-looking stallions using girly clothes” as crossdressing , while “girly-looking stallions” as either femboy or trap.
That is, unless some people prefer one name for such a thing over the other. But having these two separated has proven to be a bit complicated, as we are forced to tag images that are tagged “trap” but aren’t tagged “femboy”, or vice-versa, for example.
As far as I’ve been told, fembody is for feminine looking boys, or stallions as it were mainly here, trap is for those who look feminine yes, but are generally designed to trick the viewer, mainly. Femboys just are feminine guys, they’re not there to trick anyone, traps, well, you never know.
I think I’ve discussed aliasing femboy and trap before, and I think we decided it was best to leave it alone because the definitions are arbitrary and subjective but differ.
To me, a femboy is just a feminine male, while a trap is a crossdresser that looks indistinguishable from a female.
I understand.
It’s just that it bugs me when sometimes i see OC’s that are oftenly considered femboys (Peachy Dreams, Mango Tango, Attraction, etc.) that are sometimes tagged only trap but not both trap and femboy.

TL;DR: All traps are femboys, but all femboys are not traps. ‘Femboy’ describes the wider scale of any feminine male, and ‘trap’ is a subset of that, being so feminine that their boyness is surprising. Neither group includes futa or definite hermaphgrodite/intersex characters.
‘Trap’ in addition to the feminine boy character depends on assumption and revelation, hence ‘trap’: you already fell for them, now their equipment rustles the main character’s/reader’s jimmies.
