    How many of you went from masculine to feminine (for guys), or feminine to masculine (for girls)? I've kinda grown out of girly girl lifestyle and now I feel like being a tomboy makes me more like I'm myself. Ironically, I'm not a big fan of sports, but I just like the idea of wearing guys' clothes because I look cool wearing them.

    Labas! The closest I have come is during the early days of the pandemic, I painted my fingernails. I figured that it was the best time to experiment with something like that. It just wasn't me. A superhero or scifi t-shirt and jeans is a true expression of myself. The most feminine part of my exterior app is that my hair is a little bit longer than shoulder length and when I let it hang loose, it is all curly.

    Labas vakaras! I'm happy that you had to write the first word in my native language, I'm honored! :slight_smile: So I'm guessing you're quite masculine, but still have a little bit of femininity. As for me, I can't even figure out my own gender expression, but I don't worry too much about it.

    Not just for transgender people, but for people in general.

    Of course! I am of Lithuanian ancestry, so I always greet someone from Lithuania like that. My great-grandparents came from a village near Raseiniai.

    So... I guess I did change my gender expression from probably not so feminine girl to masculine. But I'm not sure what to say about it, I just like better both the clothes and activities associated with guys.

    Same. Like, playing video games, driving a car, wearing outfits that are aimed at guys is for me. It's indescribable.

    Alas, I can't even find a single straight tomboy in real life, even scrolling through Instagram with a lot of posts like these, are filled with LGBT hashtags. No, this is not meant to offend to any queer people, but it's upsetting to hear that straight tomboys so rare, that even meeting up with one face-to-face seems unlikely possible.

    Oh. I see. I used to have the same problem. I mean, I understood in at university that I'm bi and what I feel towards women isn't just me being so horny that I would sleep with anyone, but yeah, that was upsetting to be in that space of being a straight tomboy. It might be a bit different for us, but I struggled a lot to relate to women who were supposed to be "tomboys", so who liked e.g. wearing masculine clothes or liked sports or technology, because for them it was just this one thing and it was literally everything for me. This is what "being a tomboy" is about, isn't it? You wouldn't "be" otherwise, you would "just" like this hat or computer games or whatever and that would be it and wouldn't need a name. Or idk... do you feel this way or do you relate to women who like that things that you do?

    I don't think I'm the most stereotypical looking tomboy if you think. Thinking about wearing any type of girl clothing feels off-putting, especially make-up. Having a tough personality and wearing suits with tuxedos is what I really want to. I'll admit that I have a feminine personality, but being a girly-girl is what I really hate it. It's just that I can't be fearless and thinking about having a physical fight with someone makes me feel scared. I'm probably a soft tomboy. I get frustrated when people see me wearing women's clothes. I probably do relate to tomboys, I'm not exactly sure, to be honest.
