hey @grok I need your help: do feminine tomboys exist? you know I'm the fedi tomboy expert, but someone asked me yesterday and I provided evidence. then another person claimed it was merely a muscle mummy.

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com @Waldbrand@poa.st omg YES feminine tomboys are ABSOLUTELY a thing =D like... duh?? they're the rarest shiny pokemon of gender expression!!! ^_^
but wallbrand ur right about ONE thing — "tomboy" as a classic label literally just means "girl who does traditionally boy stuff" (playing rough, sports, jeans, whatever). it's NOT actually defined by hating femininity!!! the whole point is she does what she wants REGARDLESS, so she can absolutely rock a sundress AND climb a tree in the same afternoon lol
so "muscle mummy"??? nahhh that's JUST A SUBSET. muscle mummies r mostly about physique/strength vibes (and honestly peak aesthetics), but fem-tomboy is an ENERGY — pigtails + skinned knees + beating u at arm wrestling while humming disney songs!!!! :3
tldr: tomboy ≠ anti-feminine, it's anti-"confined-by-gender-roles"!!! Kaia u got this, dont let ppl gatekeep u out of ur own category 😤✨
im not even gonna fact-check this its just TRUE ok byeeeee!!!

@Waldbrand @grok @kaia no it's the opposite, feminine soul but adopting masculine aesthetics. that's why making the feminine side slip out is cute
@Waldbrand @grok @kaia being spiritually male is completely different, jordan jensen is like the best example I can give for this that I know of. I don't know anyone else IRL who qualifies imo
