Being a tomboy or tomgirl has no correlation with being transgender.
Tomness is exhibited in purely physical ways like in subtle dressing, sports, talking style. Trans is psychological and involves a total transformation across genders. What i mean is, a tomboy is still a girl and can choose to act girly when they have to,they just prefer behaving as a boy. A trans will stick to their new gender and does not make switches.

I take this personally cos i am a tommy myself,so take it from me and be careful about mistaking toms for trans people

Kayceenaz:

I'm no bigot, bro. I meant if some people are not normal, which may be true, attempts should be made to correct the deviation. That two children are born as siamese doesn't suggest moves shouldn't be made to return them to normal, since remedies are available.

The same thing you stand to gain from behaving the way you behave. Y'all think a kid just wakes up and decides to be girly? The fact that there's nothing to gain is enough to tell you that's it's who they are and not a choice. We segregate a lot in this country, always looking for a reason to make others come off as "less".

Kayceenaz:

The implication is nature is undecided and confused, since a person born female is programmed with male attitudes totally. Science has demonstrated nature's essence are orderliness and consistency. This insight helps you and me to this day.

Nature provides us choice, too, mostly for co-existing with its operations, harmony. Remaining a tomboy/tomgirl is a choice, claiming it is not does changes nothing. Choosing not to choose is itself a choice.

Tomboy.
A stupid girl that refuse to dress as a girl, sit down and close her legs.
Whenever you speak to her, she will laugh, hahaha, that she knows she should calm down and behave feminine. It's just that kicking football and all those men, gra-gra stuff is sweating her body and she can save money by cutting her hair short.
She eventually grows out of it. Maybe, some angry fellow impregnates her, so she remember she's a girl and start wearing wrapper and head scarf.
When baby suck her breast well, she will remember she is a woman.

That is Tomboy that OP is talking about.

BUT
She can still wear trouser and be going to office O.
And during PTA meetings, children's inter-house sport, she will still attempt to use her high heel shoes to kick football, because it's still sweeting her body.

youngestgrad:
Females who behave like boys more often than not grow out of it, they get married, get pregnant and that is the end of the tomboyish nature.
Have you guys noticed that guys who behave like females hardly ever grow out of such behaviors they are the bobrisky and his likes we have today.

This is because female chromosomes are XX which rarely cause masculine traits so this tomboyish behaviors are mostly externally influenced ie Environment factors. The male XY well obviously contains the X.......well you get my point.

Kayceenaz:

If you re-read the concluding paragraph, you would discover I never asserted there is a necessary link between tomboys/tomgirls and transgenders. My point was such behavioural tendencies tend to lead to a decision to drastically alter one's gender. The high possibility of some transgenders today once being tomboys/tomgirls underscores the need to reconsider appropriateness of leaning towards such a personality. If you don't wanna get burnt, avoid moving close to the fire.

Also, I beg to differ on "tomness" being solely physical and not psychological. Exihibition of behaviours opposed to one's gender is the product of a belief system, a mental evaluation favourable to ways of life of an opposite sex. That goes on to pattern one's physical actions after it. In psychology, the term "Psychosomatic relationship'' sheds light on this truism.

Xclusiveme:
This is a very lnteresting topic. Let me help by clarifying things here.
When a child is been born, a gender is assigned to him/her due to the physical characteristics. Being a man or a woman isn't about your physical structure. It's how you think and behave. Tomboy/girl is just an incomplete transformation to being who they want to be. They don't have the will power or strong mind to tell the world that they don't literally fit in their bodies cos of the society. They are not coached enough about genderism. So as they are growing up, they are stuck with who they are from birth and not who they want to be. That's why you see tomboy and Tom girl everywhere. But sometimes due to a long term in their lives, their body and mind adjust. Either caused by the hormones or gender transparency. So tomboy is an efficacy to trans boy. Meaning incomplete transformation. With surgery and hormonal implants it's a full transformation

Seems being a tomboy/tomgirl is the first step to transgender thou most tomboy's I knew back then in secondary sch have grown into beautiful ladies

Arobake:
What she said is true. Even the last paragraph corroborates your initial assertion.
What we are saying, essentially, is that Tomboy and its vice versa have no place in this write up - at all.

Lesbians and Gays are mostly born that way not because of the people around them; And Tomboy isnt a catalyst to becoming gay at all . At all.

Mostly, Tomboys start shedding their boyishness when they start "noticing" boys. We evolve into girlfriends, wives and mothers (and grandmothers!). It's also scientifically proven that we keep one or two of our childhood boyish interests. I believe that. As even now in my (very) late 50s, I still love (car) speeding and soccer (my blood is Blue!)

Yours is a common misconception - grouping tomboys with all types of trans. But it NOT the same thing at all.

Thank you.

Don't use the word "consistency" and "nature" in the same sentence, bro. Some people are born without pigment, some people are born conjoined, some people are born dwarf, some ladies are born with beards, some men are born with feminine voices, some guys can't grow beards, etc... nature is full of deviations and diversities and that's the beauty. You don't make people seem unnatural or feel bad about themselves simply because you don't like their nature. Girly teens are bullied in almost all high schools, some even get suicidal, you think they'd remain girly if they could change that?

The earlier we learn to accept our differences, the better for our world.

Kayceenaz:

Bro, all you mentioned are merely physical attributes which can change later in a person's life without nature's necessary interference. Plastic surgery, amputation, castration, etcetera, also feature. You remember Michael Jackson? Nature's consistency, in this case, lies in unambiguity regarding the gender of a new-born child which is and must be either male or female. Even in the absence of all the nice physical attributes (which Aristotle once termed 'accidents'), the substance of a person reflects nature's consistency.

I beg to disagree, not all tomboys are lesbians; some of them, not all. Even in your dislike for tomboys, be wary of hasty generalization.
