RaveBehold. The Philippines has a tomboy competition

As Gays against Groomers puts it: In America, all of them would be told they are trans.
As someone who is very attracted to butch women, and who feels like they are an increasingly endangered species, I love seeing this.
Actually elated to see smaller, long haired tomboys as well! Most of the women I know and am friends with (at least better friends with) are Tomboys or GNC. Even if one or two of them like to put on a dress to a wedding, they all look and act and have masculine hobbies. And they're confident about it.
I miss when being a Tomboy was just a thing you could be. 🙃
This is beautiful. It's sad that we couldn't have something like this here in America
I loved androgynous fashion when I was in middle school. If my kid self were around today, I would probably have been pressured to contemplate my gender
Ironically America was the only place some 10 years ago where you could openly have it.
Yes!!! I live in Asia now and a lot of south and east asian cities have tomboy and masc lesbian competitions.
This is a wonderful sight. If I were about 150 years younger, I'd be asking some of them for their phone numbers... and I'm straight.
💜 LOVE this representation! Thanks so much for sharing.
That's amazing. It makes me so depressed to know that the USA has lost its entire generation of younger GNC women.
TRAs whine endlessly about genocide. But their toxic ideology has practically eliminated the population of butch lesbians by turning them into "straight/queer men".
Same. It's such an unacknowledged tragedy.
I try to remind myself that there's another generation coming after them. GNC women will always exist. They can't eradicate us. One day the trans craze will pass, and girls will be free to be themselves again.
While I am happy for the women taking part in this, the way the news articles describe this competition to be specifically for GNC women who are lesbians feels like their society is giving some women a free pass to be gnc only because they are dating women. I don't think your average straight woman will have her gncness celebrated like this.This is still a step in the right direction, but I'm just not yet impressed considering the culture's tendency to conflate gnc behavior with sexuality. Granted, my source was freakin' Wikipedia, so I would welcome any filipino friends proving my assumption wrong.
Yes. This thought soothes my soul, and I do feel it's true.
