This video piece by Sydney Watson might be of some interest to you.
Enjoyed the video, thanks.
Watson is right. Being a tomboy gave me the freedom to be a girl, but enjoyed some boy behaviors. Assertiveness was something I didn’t shy away from. No one mistook me for being a boy though. They just knew I was a girl who could hold my own, so to speak.
Fortunately this nonsense wasn’t a thing when I grew up.
