Since I can remember I've been a tomboy, I wanted to hang with the boys and do boy things. I played with legos and monster trucks and only hoped to get a dirt bike or skateboard for christmas. Over the years I've acquired some skills to dip into my girl side and also keep the tomboy inside me alive. Basically, I've perfected three looks, as seen above, tomboy-girly, girly, tomboy.
Being a six foot tall girl who's built like a "teenage linebacker" as my father says... hasn't helped out with the entirety of wearing cute things and being less intimidating to the boys. So, here's just a few things I can think of that play into my lifestyle.
PRO: I DRESS REALLY COMFORTABLE ALL THE TIME
Seriously, jeans and a t-shirt are my go-to. I also don't give a shit to dress up and wear a "cardigan" or "blouse" (to be honest, I'm not sure if I own either of those). A t-shirt dress is classy AF too. I've also found that Timberlands go with everything, (don't tell me otherwise, I'll stab you).
CON: EVERYONE THINKS YOU'RE A LESBIAN/TRANS
THIS is what bugs me more than ANYTHING EVER. I hate it when even my friends jokingly say that I dress like a lesbian, it honestly makes me ass chapped. For one, I'm not the only girl who dresses like this, for two... fuck off. I think it's so rude to assume those types of things. Also, I've had men approach me in a bar and ask how my "transition" was, or how I "hide [my] adams apple so well". YOU, SIR, are a DOUCHE. Or, if I deny a drink from a rando in the bar, they go, "ohhhh cause you're with her *points to my friend* got it". NO DUDE, you don't "got it", I JUST DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
PRO: EVERYONE THINKS YOU'RE A LESBIAN
This is also a great way to turn down said dude from above, who's a tool and won't leave you alone.
CON: YOU CAN HANG WITH THE BOYS
There'll be the girls that the boys want to hang out with cause they're cute, that'll be scared to do things. Tomboys? We're ready to jump off the bridge, we're ready to go play in the mud. I may not be able to catch or throw anything, but I've got a sweet bike that I'll take off some sick jumps (Napolean Dynamite style).
PRO: NONE OF THE BOYS EVER WANT TO DATE YOU
You're too much of a bro, and you probably kicked their ass at one point in time)
CON: ALL OF THE BOYS WANT TO DATE YOU
And all of the boy that want to date you are more sensitive than you. Sorry boiii, too many feels!
All in all, I would rather be this way than any other way. It's comfortable, it's convenient, and I've still learned how to do my makeup, so come on. Who's the real winner here?
