Tomboy

A Tomboy is a girl/woman who dresses in loose pants, large shirts, & big/long shorts, rarely or never dresses up in "girly" clothes, prefers to hang out with boys/men, likes using her hands to build things, loves a good challenge, & enjoys proving themselves to themselves. Some Tomboys don't care if they have a boyfriend but when they do...their sensual, sexual, & feminine side comes out. Most Tomboys rather guys like them for their capabilities, personalities, & attitudes...not for their physicalities. Many "girly girls" become jealous/envious towards Tomboys because Tomboys can easily relate to guys, converse with guys, & have fun with guys without flirting, without needing validation, and without being sexy.

I believe that I became a tomboy because of my boyish physicalities. I was born a woman but my face isn't exactly feminine like it should be. I've been teased and bullied my entire life. I was 12 years old when I started dressing differently than my sisters. I enjoyed/enjoy being outside...I don't remember liking girly toys. The best 9.5 months of my life was when I became pregnant because people automatically knew that I was a woman. Throughout my life I've been called a boy, a man, a dragqueen, a gay woman, and accused of being a man in transition. I told some of my story to say this...some girls become Tomboys because of being teased, tormented, & bullied about their their boyish physicalities...
becoming a tomboy made their lives a little easier.

She wears baggy pants and big shirts but likes boys...she must be a Tomboy.
