man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.

Why is the concept of tomboy becoming synonymous with trans? Like don’t get me wrong, there can be and there are tomboys in the LGBT+ community, but being tomboy doesn’t automatically make you part of it. All tomboy means is that you’re a girl who likes things usually associated with guys.
This concerns me because we’re starting to see people go “THEY MUST BE TRANS” if a girl likes anything that’s traditionally associated with boys. I feel like that’s really damaging because it actually REINFORCES gender roles, which is, ironically, what most of these people want to do away with. It sends the message that a girl can’t like guy things while still being seen as a girl. It forces people to be put into neat little boxes. Your gender is not defined by your interests, people.
***All of this in reverse, as well. If a guy likes anything girly, some people are quick to call him trans***

Here are some drawings I did when I was flying to Japan. It was the first time I drew what I was seeing through the plane’s window. これは、僕の日本の旅のスケッチ。行機の窓から描きました。は初めて初めてでした。
