FEMMY is valid in Collins, not in North America — 15 points
It depends on the list you play by. FEMMY is in Collins, used in the UK and most of the world, but it is not in the North American lists — so in a US or Canadian game an opponent can challenge it off the board. Worth 15 points. Words with Friends does not accept it either.

What does FEMMY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalslang
Noticeably or exaggeratedly feminine in appearance or manner.
Femmy describes a look or manner that leans strongly toward conventional femininity, whether in clothing, gesture or style. The word is often used within LGBT communities to describe someone, regardless of gender, whose presentation reads as markedly feminine. It can be simply descriptive or, depending on tone, mildly dismissive, so context shapes how a listener takes it. The related word femme carries a similar idea but functions more often as a noun for a person with that style.
