'''Tomgirls''' are [[male]]-identifying individuals who express themselves in a traditionally [[feminine]] way, be it via clothing, activities, or lifestyle. Tomgirls do not inherently fall under the [[Transgender|transgender umbrella]], as [[gender expression]] and [[Gender identity|identity]] are separate categories. They also do not fall under [[Femboy|the femboy umbrella]], as they typically express themselves in a less feminine manner. An example would include only having a partially feminine personality and not having a drastically feminine appearance, whilst also conforming to traditional masculine roles. Tomgirls are also the counterpart to [[Tomboy|tomboys]], females/girls who express themselves in a [[Masculinity|masculine]]/[[Masculinity|manly]] manner. Historically, being a tomgirl has been associated with being gay, but this is now recognized as inaccurate and a stereotype.<ref>https://beyond-mogai-pride-flags.tumblr.com/post/190719299545/tomgirl-pride-flag</ref>
