Tomboy
Someone wrote…
To preface, I’m biologically male. Earlier this year, a friend of mine half-jokingly called me a tomboy and it was just the best feeling ever. As a guy I’m quiet and feminine, but really, I’d like nothing more than to just be a pretty, boyish girl and keep playing in bands, wearing ratty boy jeans, and developing video games; all things I already do that make me “me.” I just want a different context for those things!
What’s your experience?

I feel sort of the opposite, I guess…I was designated female at birth, but I would like to be a pretty, girlish boy…and keep doing the things which I like which are fairly feminine hobbies. It’s good to know we aren’t alone.

I was/am a tomboy, maybe not the same you are. Additionally I get red as a gay feminine man sometimes. I enjoy both.
I am secretly happy and angry about the way my frilly light pink formal shirts a read. I probably would not dare to wear them, when people would read as a man.

Thank you for this…it puts into words alot of things I feel apply to myself…I tend to present as quite a femme woman purely so my gender isn’t misconstrued…but I hope one day to be more of a tomboy once the hormones do their job!
