[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank God I grew up when I did. I’m a 56 year-old married mom of 2 and a tomboy. That doesn’t make me lesbian, trans, or anything other than a non girly-girl. I like being a woman and I like some stereotypical girl activities, but I also like sports, fishing and boating, lawn care, cars, etc. I prefer comfy jeans and sneakers to dresses and heels, but I do wear those on occasion. 
Girls now think they have to fit a [b]very narrow definition of femininity[/b] to even BE a heterosexual female, which is insane. [/quote]

False. Definitions and boundaries are fading.

Girls can be anything they want - much more now than anytime in the past.

True. [b]But how girls and women look is being policed much more by society. [/b]

I was accused of being "trans" at a store recently by a fellow shopper. Nope, just a menopausal woman who doesn't feel like being uncomfortable anymore. Hot flashes are not conducive to me dressing up and knee problems nix the heels.

Apparently being tall and dressing more comfortable unisex now = trans in some people's eyes. [/quote]

False. Just about anything goes these days.

There might be new language/options but that’s not more “policing”.

Wrong. Now, if girls don’t wear feminine clothes or look like a MAGA Barbie, they are often labeled LGBTQ. Back in the day, tomboys were still 100% female [/quote]

Because the belief was that most tomboys "grew out of it." Most people do go through a stage where they really want to meet a partner and have kids. Hence they start dressing up and looking more "girly." By middle age, with kids out of the way, it's a lot easier to go back to being a tomboy.

This is the kind of "tomboy" I am:  [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEfkaaNNPaw[/youtube][/quote]
