I used to be a tomboy, though I recall when I got shunned by the other girls in my neighborhood and had to play with the boys which got tiresome after awhile. I got banned from playing with one boy for like a year after I got him to play dress up with me.
When I first came out some called me a "boi" for being somewhat masculine (again, tomboyish) though also pretty submissive (maybe easygoing is a better word) at the same time. When I dated a stud she insisted I look more feminine and when I did I found people reacted to me a lot better (especially in business) so I kept myself looking feminine for that reason. But I tend to dress up for utilitarian reasons rather than for its own sake.
I cook, clean, do the shopping, take care of the kids, and constantly chit chat with my friends. I also make a lot of my money from sewing and entertaining at the birthday parties of little girls. I've also taken some babysitting jobs and made a lot of money taking girls to see the Hannah Montana movie (which I enjoyed seeing myself). I generally don't like violent or action movies (with notable exceptions) and tend to like "girly" fiction, including the romance genre (even heterosexual romance), and I'd rather see The Last Unicorn for the umpteenth time than The Last Airbender or the Last Samurai even once. I have my own bedding I can nap in which features a Strawberry Shortcake blanket (though also Cthulhu slippers...).
OTOH, I take care of the car (though I hate driving), computer, yard, and assemble furniture. I'm told I'm good with tools and I even fixed the vox phone of a computer teacher (funny story, that). I wheel and deal and even deliver porn for a "finder's fee" (among other things I deliver). I've even made a few fart jokes (though these tend to double as making fun of male humor as well, but I've still made them, and I've enjoyed the shocked surprise I've gotten from men and women both). I get into light saber duels with my boy. I practice target shooting and archery. Though I no longer skateboard as I did as a teen I still longboard (though it's just a mode of transport). I work out at the gym and I don't mean just burning calories on the cardio equipment (though that is a lot of it). I've played role playing games in the past, some of them very male dominated (like Shadowrun). I think vampire stories should be scary instead of romantic (I loved the recent Fright Night movie that came out but have almost no interest in Twilight). Though my deepest friendships are with women I have more male acquaintances for some reason.
