Back in my day, you had the "tom boys" who were girls that preferred to get out there and slug it out with the boys, rather than play with the girls, and you had the "sissies" who were the boys who would rather play house with the girls than football with the boys.

However, all the ones I remember had become normal heterosexuals by their teen years. The former "tom boys" might still be interested in sports, but they had boyfriends and the "sissies" might still not like football but they had girlfriends. I don't think you do kids any favors by trying to alter their gender or even go as far as gender reassignment surgery before they even understand what being a man or women is really about.

Well said.

I was a tomboy. Climbing trees was just about one of my favorite activities. I did not prefer playing with boys, but I was very active and just loved climbing trees and monkey bars and such, which, in my day, was considered boyish and not done by many boys. I suppose these idiots would have been telling me that I was not really a girl.
