I'm using the word "tomboy" as a short term to describe a lot of different women -- boyish girls, tough women, crossdressers and drag kings, rev</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">erse traps, crossplayers, even "fakebois". </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">This site was sparked by an attempt to analyze yaoi and its impact on women and their gender identities. It was also largely inspired by the </span><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">presence of various yaoi-flavored "fakeboi" profiles on certain websites -- "fakebois" essentially being reverse-traps or pre-hormonal FtMs who simply pick a boys' name and create a fictional profile around it, featuring pictures of themselves dressed as their male alter-ego. It's nothing to get worked up over, but having met some of these people IRL, sometimes there are issues there that need to be addressed.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">All I'm trying to do is help people get their heads sorted -- I provide the information, you make the choice. I really also mean to tell peopl</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana", sans-serif;">e that they're not alone, they're not crazy, and they're hardly as weird as they think they are. I'm not trying to perpetuate hate or misinformation against any specific group or kind of person. </span></span><br />
