So, our options are:

  1. You're a girl, you're not allowed to do those things.

or

  1. If you want to do those things then you're not a girl.

Why not just letting girls do what they want without being a judgmental asshole about it?

Yeah; why can't "things a girl should do" simply be defined as... "things a girl likes doing"? Be they boxing and football, ballet and sewing, boxing and ballet, football and sewing, music, debate club... or whatever.

(And the same for boys.)

What timeline did he grow up in? Because, yes, I remember lots of girls my age (myself included) who were tomboys. It was fine.

Right! I grew up in deep country Missouri, ALL the girls were tomboys.

I realize ballet isn't a tomboy thing, but you could do worse than learning balance, stamina and flexibility, even if you end up using it for home repair and construction.

A lot of professional rugby teams incorporate ballet into their training now as it improves endurance and performance.

I read that whole comment chain and this person doesn't live on Earth. Went on about having to sneak Pokemon to girls because "it's for boys" and whatever.

That is not reality and assuming tomboys or feminine boys are trans is bullshit.
