everything about tomboy(Androgyne)



everything about tomboy Tomboy tomboy is a girl who behaves according to the stereotypical gender role of a boy. This can include various things: Wearing non-feminine clothes, typically for comfort or practicality or sport Enjoying boy's stereotypical games, interests and activities, such as running, jumping, climbing trees, science, and sports like soccer and baseball. Many girls can be seen as exhibiting a mixture of both tomboy and girly girl behavior(androgyne)and this has been held up by many as the "ideal" female lifestyle as their view is that if a girl either exhibits an extreme image of a tomboy or a girly girl, she misses out on too many experiences.� However, critics of this hold that such an idealistic image of an intermediate, "uni-sex" behavior is a stereotype by itself, and too general to actually mean anything. Some contribute, and some tomboys themselves think, the substantial cause of their inclination is spending their childhood and/or adolescence in an environment where the male presence or action predominates, and having therefore a lack of female role models. For example, a family with: more than 2 brothers and 1 or fewer sister, or a single father a school mostly of boys, hence the tomboy befriends few girls. Historically tomboys were defined by both behaviour (according to the stereotypical gender role of boys) and wearing boys' clothing. In recent times, as the use of "traditional" clothing such as dresses, blouses and skirts steadily declines among females, the distinction has become almost solely one of behaviour. A general increase in the popularity of woman's sporting events, (see Title IX), and other activities that were traditionally male-dominated is today lessening the impact of "tomboy" as a pejorative. many tomboys are androgyne........ Androgyne An androgyne is a person who feels that they do not fit cleanly into society's boxes labeled men and woman. An androgyne may identify with the gender identity of a combination of male and female or as neither / neutrally gendered. They may also use the terms non-gendered or bigendered. They may experience swings between genders. An androgyne is a person with the gender identity of either both male and female or neither. It is a misconception that androgyny is just a fashion statement, behavior, or set of visual cues. One could say that all androgynes are psychologically androgynous, whereas not all androgynous-looking people are androgynes. Androgynes sometimes refer to themselves using blended pronouns like Ze, Hir etc, and use a gender tag Mx instead of Mr. or Mrs. tomboy: 1.
