Your Definition
If you’re referring to the trap that involves a physical holding cell that you were deceived to fall into, this is not the right definition you wanted to find. A trap is most of all a word mistakenly used to describe a trans woman, a feminine man, and/or a drag queen. A trap is someone who dresses up as the opposite gender for the sole intention of tricking another person into believing they are a cisgendered person opposite to their real identity. Most commonly found in fantastical scenarios, the trap (most likely a male) will dress in feminine clothing and accessories, and until they are in a sexual situation with their “victim” will they expose their true colors. Or, well, genitals. Trap is not to be mistaken with a trans person or feminine man. A feminine man does not dress the way they do to deceive anyone, it is how they wish to dress. It is who they are, not who they want others to see. I’ve written this because people have incorrectly used this outdated term for innocent bystanders of the conversation.
