Linetrap, one of the first 4chan traps; went into porn, unfortunately

Traps are boys that look like girls. If they truly confuse people as to their original gender, transgender individuals will also fall into this category. The use of trap to describe such people came from the IT'S A TRAP meme after the /b/tards got a hold of it and adapted it to their own twisted purposes.

chanchan loves their traps, as does /b/.

IT'S A TRAP

A GIF that shows us what kind of trap it is.

IT'S A TRAP is a meme based on the line by Admiral Ackbar in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi; started on Fark around 2002, and spread to the rest of the Internet over a period of years, before ending up on /b/.

The original meme was transformed into a response to pictures of men who appear to be women; a "trap" set out to catch the unsuspecting observer into getting turned on by a picture of a man because he thought it was actually a woman.

IT'S A TARP

The meme continued degenerating into IT'S A TARP, keeping the same meaning. There may have been some new photoshops to go along with the modified meme.
