The opposite of a tomboy.
A boy who likes to do stuff that are ''feminine'' Instead of playing sports and getting dirty, he likes to go shopping at the mall and try on clothes that can be girly. He always wears the latest fashion trends and sometimes care what other people think of him. He also cares about his physical appearance and his hair. Tomgirls hang out with mostly girls and lack physical strength. They aren't necessarily gay.

''Sam is such a tomgirl!''
''I know I saw him at the mall today with my girl friends''
''Does he play any sports?''
''Noooooo. He's a tomgirl. DUH.''

A man or male identified individual that does not conform to heterosexual/heterosexist masculine behaviors. This person may or may not behave or dress in a way that others label as feminine, although the tomgirl may not use those labels or agree with them. A tomgirl is not ashamed of femininity and takes pride in who they are. Often times more sensitive, compassionate, and emotionally secure than other types of men.
Tomgirls make excellent best friends, they don't do the usual annoying things that masculine men like to do.

A more appropriate word to describe girls who are rugged, sporty, NOT overtly girlish or frilly and less interested in clothes, makeup or remaining clean and pretty while playing.
Girls who play hard and are willing to get dirty and even rough, often playing in and doing typical boys activities, even though WE"RE NOT BOYS! We just know how fun it is to play like a boy ;) . But calling a rugged, street savvy girl a 'tomboy' negates her uniqueness as a non-traditional female. This way that is still honored but recognizes her tough, sporty ways.

"I was a real tomgirl as a child; complete with a boys bike, hotwheels and short hair."
"She's a total tomgirl, she just loves rough-housing in the dirt, chasing and playing hard with the boys without a worry for herself or her clothes!"

A tomgirl is similar to a Tomboy in that she likes to play sports - and can keep up with the best of them. However, while a tomboy likes to wear baggy clothes and not embrace her sexuality, the tomgirl cleans up nicely and puts pride into her personal appearance.

A girl with the perfect mix of sporty and sexy. A tomgirl lkes to get dirty, but then cleans up nicely.
McKenna played a great game today and she looks beautiful in that dress tonight, she is such a tomgirl.
