I’m a bit of an outsider, so sorry if this is not appropriate. But I feel like “tomboy” is the wrong one to map to the opposite gender, as femboy is more descriptive: easier to understand Before knowing the word. So rather than suggesting to change femboy to sallygirl (or similar), would changing tomboy to “mascgirl” be more appropriate? Feel free to change my mind
We’re not even talking about changing anything. Just let people use the labels they feel fit them. I’m sharing the history I experienced pre-internet.
Tomboy and Sallygirl were coined together first and I read them in a yellowed readers digest type magazine in the upstairs bathroom at my grandparents house while I was small.

How dare you say I piss on the poor.
