I love this. I was a "tomboy" growing up. I really hope they don't get physically assaulted for doing this, though.

I wanted to highlight this language from the article:

Both Lesbians United and the parents who sponsored the #SaveTheTomboys campaign believe in the importance of raising public awareness around the “sexual medical abuse of children and teens who don't fit sex-based stereotypes.”

I completely fucking agree with this characterization. I think that coercing a child to remove his/her genitals should be described as medical abuse and sexual abuse. It's not only a horrific thing to put a person through, as this recent Twitter thread by a detrans man attests to, but an incredibly intimate horrific act.

Nice.

Is there a femboy equivalent?

I don't think there is yet, unfortunately. we could start it on social media.
