She explained to the Charlotte Observer in January that she never felt comfortable wearing dresses, even though she but was still forced to wear them. “It didn’t make sense. I felt like a boy," she said.

I knew and liked many tomboys when I was young; they also rarely liked dresses. Fortunately for them, tomboys from my generation were allowed to see themselves as girls, just active, athletic, gun-toting, outdoorsy girls. It's a shame today's tomboys are encouraged to see clothing and activity preferences as something more. It's a shame that activists embrace mental illness and encourage today's tomboys to mutilate themselves.

Ellie May Clampett was just on TV, but there were a whole lot of real girls similar to her (if less curvy). This girl could have been as happy as Ellie May (and Donna Douglas), and my many tomboy friends including one of my daughters, if the activists had allowed her to see that genetics are not a choice. It's your actions that are a choice, and putting on a dress is not required even if your chromosomes are XX, nor does mutilation change the chromosomes.
