[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Stop being so sensitive. This isn't about you. Why do you feel threatened? You want to allow girls to pursue any interest they want, as long as they continue to allow you to label them as girls? Think about it.[/quote]

I do not think it is about being threatened so much as not understanding society's shift for everyone to fit into a label.

I am a girl.  100% pure female.  Since my mom's friends all had boys I did not realize I was a girl until puberty and was what we used to call a 'tomboy'.  I had some Barbie dolls and baked mud pies but for the most part I preferred "boy stuff' to "girl stuff" and God help the person that tried to get me in a dress! But I was and am female.

Today i would probably be described as demi or something from the LGBTQ++ because we no longer have a spectrum, rather we have little niches so everyone can have a space.

I get trans, some people are born with gender dysphoria and I am not talking about that.   It is this notion that we all decide what we want our gender to be in order belong to a group.  What was wrong with the spectrum?  I know I must sound horribly ignorant and totally un-woke but I am genuinely curious and am trying to figure this out.

No...you’d have the freedom to describe yourself the way you wanted to. That’s the point. You defined yourself as a tomboy. That’s fine! but why does anyone else have to use the terms you used?

And you see tomboy as part of a spectrum and “demi-girl” as a niche. But someone else might say “tomboy” forces them into them into a rigid gender category (girl who “likes boy stuff”) while demi-girl allows them to express themselves on a spectrum of gender identity.
