Asian Tomboy - Trend, Reality or Choice?

Tuesday 31 May 2011

There are different perceptions to the meaning of tomboy;1. Someone who is boyish and likes to dress like a guy 2. Someone who is lesbian. To me tomboy means someone who doesn't go for the girly-girl look. They instead go for the manlier/boyish look but some still being effeminate.

Asia- I think- got a more tomboy population than in the west. Westerners are generalized to be homophobes. Western tomboys who doesn't have a lot of confidence can't have the chance to shout to the world...

Hello World, I'm an EFFING TOMBOY !!

Some are scared to be bullied or being cast out so they keep it to themselves and their fellows. But why hide your true you? Lesbian or not why let other people tell you WHO YOU SHOULD BE. Then they tell you to be yourself when they're the ones who pushed you to be someone you're NOT.

Tomboys are fast appearing especially in asian countries like Taiwan, Singapore, China,S. Korea, Malayasia and such. Countries in asia are not that homophobic unlike in the west- not all. Tomboys are free to roam around in their guy clothes and cool attitude that tells you no one can make them stoop low.
Some even have their own clothing line; Mr. Rich etc. and even have a music career; MissTER and Zee and Amber of f(x). Others are being idolized by other T's. And a lot of them have fangirls. *wink*

Hey, that's what I'm talking about!

But in every happy story, a villain hides. Haters. Homophobes. Anti's.You name it.
I'm not gonna be yappping about how you shouldn't be hatin' or whatever. I don't have time to talk about lowlifes.

Tomboys are cool. PERIOD.
Some are calling it a trend, some a choice and some a reality...Its up to you to decide what being a tomboy really is. The important thing is...You are YOU.
