I was branded with the term "tomboy," and I hated it. I always told people who used it that my name wasn't Tom and I wasn't a boy.

I was just a mildly gender-nonconforming girl who liked running around and climbing trees. When I did wear dresses, I wore shorts under them so I could run and play.

If I were growing up these days, I'm sure I would have been convinced by "well meaning" adults that I was trans or at least "nonbinary."

I never thought I'd see the day when I'd think that "tomboy" wasn't so bad. At least it's just an annoying label and not cross-sex hormones or surgery that I'd later regret.

New Dutch study just came out showing the whopping majority of transitioning youth match homosexual profiles of developing gay children. Every tomboy stuck with too-online Pinterest parents is destined to be express-laned into a gender clinic.
