Tomboy or ?

[Petita Ravens]

I understand the reasons behind the idea of Tomboys but can someone tell me the male equivalent is . I always wanted to play the girls games from playing doctors and nurses I was always the nurse to having tea parties with my nieces and their dolls . So what would I have called besides sissy etc

[April Sinclair]

Tomgirl or Janegirl maybe Jillgirl.

I really like Jillgirl or just Jilliegurl. I’m a jilliegurl has a nice ring to it.

I have never heard of an “official” term opposite to tomboy. Mostly just terms meant to be derogatory such as sissy or effeminate.

One of many double standards.

JJ is right, unfortunately. A coinage along the lines April suggested is required…or is it? Maybe we need fewer labels not more.

Hugs & kisses,

I was always called “kind of girly”, in regards to my plying as a child. I liked playing with dolls, always thought my bicycles should be a girls bike.
Whenever I played house with other kids, (usually girls) I was always the mommy. I just enjoyed being a girl, and I wore the title “kind of girly” with pride.

Strange how Tomboy is not seen as derogatory.  Nancy boy is the closest equivalent I can remember.

A male cat is called a Tom and a female cat a Molly (sometimes a queen), so how about ‘Mollygirl’ ?

[Michelle Trott]

How about crossdresser? If we dress or act or present female we are considered as somehow not normal. Women do it all the time!

[April Sinclair]

Right I am good with that honestly.

How about, whatever you want to describe yourself as? We get hung up on classification. Let’s stop that. How about we just feel like what we are in the moment and be us?
