Don't call me "tomboy" (rant)

Don't ever call me a tomboy. Ever. I hate that word. Basically, you're pushing my gender aside and assuming it's a phase or a style. Honestly I will never forgive you if you invalidate me that way. And for gods sake, don't call me "she" just to piss me off. Don't tell me they/them can't be used for a single person. I don't care if your mom is an English teacher. Leave me the **** alone.

Okay I'm finished.

That sucks! I hope ranting a bit on here helps a little! Sending positive vibes!

MY MOM DID THIS TO ME. OMIGOD. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. Rant all you want, it is so not okay if someone does that to you.

I just came across this article on them/they and other neutral pronouns and thought it was quite a good introduction. Maybe this is a link to pass on: http://www.hopesandfears.com/hopes/c...onouns-radical

Sick of screaming, I too was called a tomboy growing up. I was born both sexes and my mother thought it best that I be a girl not a boy. She made the wrong choice. I grew up on a farm so i was called a tomboy. I have considered it for me a badge of honor. Please tell me your experiences. I am listening.

sickofscreaming,
thankyou!!
you say exactly what i think,i grew up being called a tomboy to and as i got to understand the meaning of it i really hated it,it denied me a gender-im not a style or phase im a trans man, ive always been as manly as they come so its not like it wasnt obvious.
