What is a tomboy? I find that people are either very specific in their answers, or very vague and not really sure. I find this even among other tomboys. I know girls who do hair, make-up, dress up, but play rugby. Are they tomboys?
I personally have short hair, live in cargo shorts and t-shirts, do not wear make-up and fight mma as my retirement sport from rugby. Oh, and I’m almost 38 and have 2 kids and a husband.
I have tomboy friends who are gay and dress in men’s wear, and those who dress girly.
I don’t think there really is one kind of tomboy. I suspect it is just a word to describe a woman that isn’t really girly.
It doesn’t make us less feminine. I still have all the bits and pieces of a female, so I couldn’t be more or less feminine. I still have two xx chromosomes. I am a female regardless of how many tackles I make.
So what is a tomboy, then? Please take the time to take the poll and let me know what you think a tomboy really is. I’m curious to know, because I do not believe it can realy be defined. I have kept it basic on purpose, or you can fill in your own idea.

Expression of gender fluidity seems to be more accepted, which has enabled the definition of tomboy to be expanded. Tomboy, I think, is arguably synonymous with androgyny, but androgyny sounds sexier.
Perhaps from a fashion viewpoint androgyny could be argued. As gender identification, I think that tomboys preserve the right to be completely feminine regardless of how we dress or act.
