In praise of the tomboy
Leah Hardy looks at the growing trend for girls to divide into tribes at a certain age – ‘tomboys’ and ‘girly girls’Leah Hardy
Sat 27 Sep 2014 01.30 EDT
“I think I’ll wear my army clothes”, announced my nine-year-old daughter, Cecily, one morning. She was preparing for her first day at her new, non-uniform, primary school, and wanted to look her best. Her outfit of camouflage trousers and T-shirt, cap and dog tag chain, a much-begged-for birthday gift, consisted of, in her eyes, the coolest possible option.
I gently suggested that going the full Arnie on day one might not make the right impression. Instead we went to Gap, where she was delighted to find camo-print jeans.
In a shoe shop, Cecily cast a brisk, disdainful eye over rows of pink and white, rainbow-embellished trainers, and instead chose a black-and-orange pair and a green pair. We sat and waited to be served.
“But … but … these are the wrong shoes. They are for boys!” exclaimed a confused sales assistant.
I was surprised that, even today, the idea of a little girl who dresses “like a boy”, can still cause a frisson of horror. If a girl is also lively, likes cars or swords or rough-and-tumble, she gets a label – tomboy – and in playgrounds, many girls now choose to divide themselves into two tribes: tomboys and girly girls. Tomboyishness is very common. In a US study from 2012, while nearly half of girls reported being traditional girls, the rest almost equally identified as either “in-betweens” or tomboys.
But what is a tomboy, why do girls want to be one, and what does it say about them, about gender and about us?
According to Cecily: “Tomboys like to run about. They like bikes, skateboards and roller skates. Their favourite colours are blue, black, brown, red and green. When they are younger they like watching Spider-Man. They get pretend plastic swords and Nerf guns. Some like to play video games like Mario Cart. Some girls pretend to be tomboys because they want to hang out with boys and look cool.”
“Girly girls like wearing dresses and skirts. They like nature and flowers. Their favourite colours are pink, red and purple. They play mums and dads and princesses, and hate Power Rangers. They can be a bit bossy.”
From the moment she tottered to her feet, Cecily has always been the child who’d run furthest without looking back, climb to the top of the tallest climbing frame, then hang upside down above a 15ft drop, and generally terrify her rather more risk-averse mother. Even now, I sometimes ask Cecily to be less daring, to jump less far or dangle less perilously when we are out with her friends, as she makes their mothers so anxious.
However, until a few years ago, Cecily’s wardrobe was still crammed with Disney princess dresses. At nursery, clad in frocks yet physically fearless, she reminded me of a dauntless Victorian lady explorer, heading up the Limpopo river in a crinoline.
Then it all changed. Cecily now refuses to wear a skirt or dress. The princess dresses and Halloween witch costumes have been replaced with Ninja and werewolf ensembles.
Cecily can’t pass a tree without climbing it. She does press-ups for fun, and is working on a clap between each one, army-style. She’s also ferociously competitive, both at school sports and when playing board games.
In these things, Cecily is very typical of tomboys.
Professor Carrie Paechter, head of department for educational studies at Goldsmiths College in London, interviewed girls aged nine to 11 to find out how they defined tomboys and girly girls. As well as dressing in boys’ clothes and having short hair, girls cited an interest in tree-climbing and football as signifiers of tomboydom. They also mentioned competitiveness and, in particular, “minding if your team loses”.
Cecily’s age is typical too. Psychologist Rachel Andrew says: “You might notice behaviour such as tree-climbing in younger children, but tomboyishness becomes more obvious between the ages of five and 12.”
Research suggests that tomboyishness peaks between seven to 10 years and fades as puberty begins.
This, says Melissa Hines, neuroscientist and professor of psychology at Churchill College, Cambridge, may be rooted in brain development. She says, “Between the ages of two to three, children start to understand they are boys or girls. This is when girls start to show a preference for pink. However, at this stage, both sexes don’t realise they will still be male or female as they get older, which can worry them.”
Paechter says that this results in “frilly dress syndrome” in which, “if girls like climbing trees or playing with cars, they also opt for pink dresses to confirm to themselves and others they are really still girls.”
However, says Hines: “By the age of six or seven, girls know they won’t change sex if they do things associated with the other gender, so they relax and loosen up. Their interest in pink goes down and gender-stereotypical behaviour reduces.”
Girls also tend to reject princess dresses and pink as they are considered babyish.
It’s no coincidence that To Kill a Mockingbird’s heroine Scout, aged between six and nine in the novel, is a tree-climber who feels “the starched walls of a pink cotton penitentiary closing in on me” every time she is made to wear a dress. Even Princess Tiaamii, the seven-year-old daughter of that juggernaut of femininity Katie Price, appears to be rebelling right on cue. Her father, Peter Andre, was recently quoted as saying: “Princess is telling me she doesn’t want me to call her Princess and she doesn’t like the colour pink any more – all of a sudden she wants everything blue.”
Hines says social pressure is a key cause of girls’ and boys’ gendered behaviour, with boys socialised even more strictly than girls. “They soon learn that gender non-conformity carries a price,” she says. But there is also evidence that tomboyishness may be influenced by prenatal hormones. Hines studied girls with a condition that meant their adrenal glands produced more testosterone than normal while they were still in the womb. By the age of three and a half, these girls were significantly more likely to want to play with trucks, rather than dolls, to enjoy rough and tumble games and to prefer male playmates to female ones.
A small minority of tomboys reject everything girly, sometimes, says Paechter, to be accepted by boys who are very intolerant of femininity. But most do not. US researchers Pat Plumb and Gloria Cowan, who were among the first psychologists to study tomboyism, wrote: “Self-defined tomboys do not reject traditionally female activities. Instead, they expand their repertoire of activities to include both gender-traditional and nontraditional activities.” In other words, they want to have more fun.
Studies have also found that tomboys are just as compassionate and sensitive as other girls, but are more assertive, self-reliant and less judgmental.
Andrew says: “Parents should see tomboyishness as positive. To stand out and choose different clothes and activities shows the kind of self-confidence, determination and sense of self that all parents should encourage.”
I have noticed that Cecily’s very long blond hair (she refuses to get it cut) means that she is seen as feminine despite her tomboyish play. She has friends of both sexes, including girly girls and for all her skateboarding, army outfits and press-ups, Cecily firmly rejects any sort of label.
I recently overheard a conversation between Cecily and her friend Amy, who considers herself a tomboy. Amy insisted that Cecily must be a tomboy because “you don’t wear skirts or dresses and you aren’t a girly girl”. Cecily snapped back: “No. I’m not a tomboy. I’m not a girly girl. I’m a normal person. End of.”
Trans = violence.

David Reimer and John Money Gender Reassignment Controversy: The John/Joan Case
By: Phil Gaetano
Published: 2017-11-15
In the mid-1960s, psychologist John Money encouraged the gender reassignment of David Reimer, who was born a biological male but suffered irreparable damage to his penis as an infant. Born in 1965 as Bruce Reimer, his penis was irreparably damaged during infancy due to a failed circumcision. After encouragement from Money, Reimer’s parents decided to raise Reimer as a girl. Reimer underwent surgery as an infant to construct rudimentary female genitals, and was given female hormones during puberty. During childhood, Reimer was never told he was biologically male and regularly visited Money, who tracked the progress of his gender reassignment. Reimer unknowingly acted as an experimental subject in Money’s controversial investigation, which he called the John/Joan case. The case provided results that were used to justify thousands of sex reassignment surgeries for cases of children with reproductive abnormalities. Despite his upbringing, Reimer rejected the female identity as a young teenager and began living as a male. He suffered severe depression throughout his life, which culminated in his suicide at thirty-eight years old. Reimer, and his public statements about the trauma of his transition, brought attention to gender identity and called into question the sex reassignment of infants and children.
Bruce Peter Reimer was born on 22 August 1965 in Winnipeg, Ontario, to Janet and Ron Reimer. At six months of age, both Reimer and his identical twin, Brian, were diagnosed with phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin of the penis cannot retract, inhibiting regular urination. On 27 April 1966, Reimer underwent circumcision, a common procedure in which a physician surgically removes the foreskin of the penis. Usually, physicians performing circumcisions use a scalpel or other sharp instrument to remove foreskin. However, Reimer’s physician used the unconventional technique of cauterization, or burning to cause tissue death. Reimer’s circumcision failed. Reimer’s brother did not undergo circumcision and his phimosis healed naturally. While the true extent of Reimer’s penile damage was unclear, the overwhelming majority of biographers and journalists maintained that it was either totally severed or otherwise damaged beyond the possibility of function.
In 1967, Reimer’s parents sought the help of John Money, a psychologist and sexologist who worked at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. In the mid twentieth century, Money helped establish the views on the psychology of gender identities and roles. In his academic work, Money argued in favor of the increasingly mainstream idea that gender was a societal construct, malleable from an early age. He stated that being raised as a female was in Reimer’s interest, and recommended sexual reassignment surgery. At the time, infants born with abnormal or intersex genitalia commonly received such interventions.
Following their consultation with Money, Reimer’s parents decided to raise Reimer as a girl. Physicians at the Johns Hopkins Hospital removed Reimer’s testes and damaged penis, and constructed a vestigial vulvae and a vaginal canal in their place. The physicians also opened a small hole in Reimer’s lower abdomen for urination. Following his gender reassignment surgery, Reimer was given the first name Brenda, and his parents raised him as a girl. He received estrogen during adolescence to promote the development of breasts. Throughout his childhood, Reimer was not informed about his male biology.
Throughout his childhood, Reimer received annual checkups from Money. His twin brother was also part of Money’s research on sexual development and gender in children. As identical twins growing up in the same family, the Reimer brothers were what Money considered ideal case subjects for a psychology study on gender. Reimer was the first documented case of sex reassignment of a child born developmentally normal, while Reimer’s brother was a control subject who shared Reimer’s genetic makeup, intrauterine space, and household.
During the twin’s psychiatric visits with Money, and as part of his research, Reimer and his twin brother were directed to inspect one another’s genitals and engage in behavior resembling sexual intercourse. Reimer claimed that much of Money’s treatment involved the forced reenactment of sexual positions and motions with his brother. In some exercises, the brothers rehearsed missionary positions with thrusting motions, which Money justified as the rehearsal of healthy childhood sexual exploration. In his Rolling Stone interview, Reimer recalled that at least once, Money photographed those exercises. Money also made the brothers inspect one another’s pubic areas. Reimer stated that Money observed those exercises both alone and with as many as six colleagues. Reimer recounted anger and verbal abuse from Money if he or his brother resisted orders, in contrast to the calm and scientific demeanor Money presented to their parents. Reimer and his brother underwent Money’s treatments at preschool and grade school age. Money described Reimer’s transition as successful, and claimed that Reimer’s girlish behavior stood in stark contrast to his brother’s boyishness. Money reported on Reimer’s case as the John/Joan case, leaving out Reimer’s real name. For over a decade, Reimer and his brother unknowingly provided data that, according to biographers and the Intersex Society of North America, was used to reinforce Money’s theories on gender fluidity and provided justification for thousands of sex reassignment surgeries for children with abnormal genitals.
Contrary to Money’s notes, Reimer reports that as a child he experienced severe gender dysphoria, a condition in which someone experiences distress as a result of their assigned gender. Reimer reported that he did not identify as a girl and resented Money’s visits for treatment. At the age of thirteen, Reimer threatened to commit suicide if his parents took him to Money on the next annual visit. Bullied by peers in school for his masculine traits, Reimer claimed that despite receiving female hormones, wearing dresses, and having his interests directed toward typically female norms, he always felt that he was a boy. In 1980, at the age of fifteen, Reimer’s father told him the truth about his birth and the subsequent procedures. Following that revelation, Reimer assumed a male identity, taking the first name David. By age twenty-one, Reimer had received testosterone therapy and surgeries to remove his breasts and reconstruct a penis. He married Jane Fontaine, a single mother of three, on 22 September 1990.
In adulthood, Reimer reported that he suffered psychological trauma due to Money’s experiments, which Money had used to justify sexual reassignment surgery for children with intersex or damaged genitals since the 1970s. In the mid-1990s, Reimer met Milton Diamond, a psychologist at the University of Hawaii, in Honolulu, Hawaii, and academic rival of Money. Reimer participated in a follow-up study conducted by Diamond, in which Diamond cataloged the failures of Reimer’s transition.
In 1997, Reimer began speaking publicly about his experiences, beginning with his participation in Diamond’s study. Reimer’s first interview appeared in the December 1997 issue of Rolling Stone magazine. In interviews, and a later book about his experience, Reimer described his interactions with Money as torturous and abusive. Accordingly, Reimer claimed he developed a lifelong distrust of hospitals and medical professionals.
With those reports, Reimer caused a multifaceted controversy over Money’s methods, honesty in data reporting, and the general ethics of sex reassignment surgeries on infants and children. Reimer’s description of his childhood conflicted with the scientific consensus about sex reassignment at the time. According to NOVA, Money led scientists to believe that the John/Joan case demonstrated an unreservedly successful sex transition. Reimer’s parents later blamed Money’s methods and alleged surreptitiousness for the psychological illnesses of their sons, although the notes of a former graduate student in Money’s lab indicated that Reimer’s parents dishonestly represented the transition’s success to Money and his coworkers. Reimer was further alleged by supporters of Money to have incorrectly recalled the details of his treatment. On Reimer’s case, Money publicly dismissed his criticism as antifeminist and anti-trans bias, but, according to his colleagues, was personally ashamed of the failure.
In his early twenties, Reimer attempted to commit suicide twice. According to Reimer, his adult family life was strained by marital problems and employment difficulty. Reimer’s brother, who suffered from depression and schizophrenia, died from an antidepressant drug overdose in July of 2002. On 2 May 2004, Reimer’s wife told him that she wanted a divorce. Two days later, at the age of thirty-eight, Reimer committed suicide by firearm.
Reimer, Money, and the case became subjects of numerous books and documentaries following the exposé. Reimer also became somewhat iconic in popular culture, being directly referenced or alluded to in the television shows Chicago Hope, Law & Order, and Mental. The BBC series Horizon covered his story in two episodes, “The Boy Who Was Turned into a Girl” (2000) and “Dr. Money and the Boy with No Penis” (2004). Canadian rock group The Weakerthans wrote “Hymn of the Medical Oddity” about Reimer, and the New York-based Ensemble Studio Theatre production Boy was based on Reimer’s life.

OMG - little lefties have such thin skins they can't possibly handle any criticism. How about leaving the choice of channels up to the people who actually watch them. This whole sh1t storm is really pissing me off!!An LGBTQ rights group wants the CRTC to ban Fox News from Canadian cable packages over “false and horrifying claims” made by host Tucker Carlson regarding transgender individuals.
Egale Canada is in the process of filing a formal application with the CRTC, communications and marketing director Jennifer Boyce said in an email. The group published an open letter last week, following an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight in late March.
The letter said the Fox News “coverage aimed to provoke hatred and violence against 2SLGBTQI communities, particularly those who are Two Spirit, trans, nonbinary and gender non-conforming (2STNBGN).”
Egale said Carlson made false claims about those communities, including “painting them as violent and dangerous.” The segment aimed to provoke resentment and violence against 2STNBGN people through false claims and “malicious misinformation,” Egale Canada executive director Helen Kennedy said in the open letter.
The CRTC maintains a list of international channels cable, satellite and IPTV providers can include in their packages. In March 2022, the CRTC removed Russia Today and RT France from the list, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
LGBTQ group asks CRTC to ban Fox News Channel over anti-trans comments — National Post
Following an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight, Egale Canada wrote an open letter over 'false and horrifying claims' made by the host
In its decision, the CRTC said the content of the Russian channels “appears to constitute abusive comment since it tends or is likely to expose the Ukrainian people to hatred or contempt on the basis of their race, national or ethnic origin.”
The letter from Egale said the CRTC must investigate whether Fox News violates the Television Broadcasting Regulations, and asked the regulator to hold public consultations on removing the channel from the list of authorized channels, etc…
Tucker may not be perfect but what he said was absolutely correct. The Trans "pushers" are violent - there have been at least 4 shootings that can be attributed to a "trans" person not including all the violent protests they incur & then try to blame others for the violence. They are the most violent of anyone simply because their ideas are so ridiculous & incredibly wrong, they need to "force" people to comply rather than sit down & have a rational conversation. No debate allowed. What horrible people they are & I refuse to acknowledge their silliness.
If you want to change your gender you can by simply telling everyone the lie that you're not who you were born to be. You need help. Unfortunately, the help isn't there; anymore. The help required is missing and rather than finding out what the issues are, they encourage the stupidity that men can be women and vice versa. It's so absurd, it's damaging not only to the individuals but to society as a whole.
I was a tom boy & enjoyed every minute of it. I was and never have been a "girly girl" that was my two sisters. I never wanted to be a boy; I just enjoyed what the boys did! That's likely what's happening to our girls now except that they're "encouraged" to decide otherwise which is SICK!!!
