Not just a tomboy

He's not just a tomboy. I've had lots of people say they know someone who went through a tomboy phase too, it annoys me. I was a tomboy, I know about that. I cut my hair short and picked boy clothes. People couldn't tell my gender.  I wished I was a boy.

Wishing you were something and believing you are something are completely different.  I never thought I was born in the wrong body. I never wondered when I'd get my penis or pictured myself growing up to be a daddy.

Yes there's always a chance that Phoenix could "outgrow" this, but even if that happens I still wouldn't be able to consider this a case of just being a tomboy.  This is much more severe than that and comparing the two invalidates how he feels.

Please don't tell me my child is just a tomboy.
