Some Tomboys are fine with their stereotypically masculine personalities or even thrive in it. Others hate the fact they're tomboys but have difficulties trying to change their behavior. They may try to invoke a Girliness Upgrade but this often results in Femininity Failure. No Guy Wants an Amazon is often a reason for them disliking being a tomboy. Whether they're fine with their tomboyish streak is another matter. Or maybe they're tomboys with girly streaks, and don't want to be seen as too tomboyish, and object when others call them tomboys because of their outwardly tomboyish physical appearance, despite their girly personality and girly interests, even if they also have tomboyish interests as well. This appears often in Japanese material and is a point of Values Dissonance to many non-Japanese audiences. Due to Japanese society being very strict about gender roles, many female characters are embarrassed by seeming masculine and actively try to change it. It's comparatively much harder to find a pure tomboy in Japanese media who is fine with their behavior than it is to find in Western media, particularly American media, because most Western societies, particularly the United States, place greater emphasis on masculinity over femininity. In British and European societies, emphasis on masculinity is somewhat downplayed, so you might find some purely masculine tomboys who are perfectly fine with their very masculine behavior, and other relatively more feminine tomboys with girly streaks who criticize them for not being feminine enough. May overlap with Stay in the Kitchen, which is about how other people treat them. If they have a classically feminine mother for extra contrast, see Feminine Mother, Tomboyish Daughter. And if the parents express disappointment in the tomboyishness, see Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child. If a character had tomboy angst in the past this could be why they Used to Be a Tomboy. Compare I Want to Be a Real Man, which has boys being insecure about not conforming to masculine gender roles, which is very common in Western media, particularly the United States, due to placing greater emphasis on masculine gender roles. |

Numerous female wrestlers who get signed to WWE are tomboys who are unprepared for the all the feminine things required to look good on TV. The Bella Twins say that while Natalya taught them how to wrestle, they had to teach her how to do the "Diva thing". It's something of a Running Gag for a tomboy to say she had no idea how to put on fake eyelashes, do her make-up or sort out hair extensions when she first arrived. The documentary series Breaking Ground shows that female developmental trainees are given classes on how to do their own make-up while on the road. Bayley at one point says that the wrestling is easy for her; the make-up is hard. | |

In the Clear Moonlit Dusk: More like "Bifauxnen Angst", but the same rules apply. Yoi is well aware of the fact that she looks androgynous enough to pass for a young man and can even accept that, but she doesn't really enjoy being treated like a prince or constantly mistaken for a boy, given that it means she Only Has Same-Sex Admirers and suffers from Attractiveness Isolation. That said, she's too afraid of a Femininity Failure to even try changing things on her own and is resigned to her fate at the start of the story. | |

Ranma ½: Akane Tendo is a Tomboy with a Girly Streak who's treated by everyone as a full-blooded tomboy. Problem is, Akane desperately wants to be girlier but like Yuuki above, all her attempts to be more feminine finish in failure and lots of her tsundere behavior to her boyfriend Ranma come from her frustration at HIM for being better at girly things when needed. It's strongly implied that her beloved mother's early death and being partially raised by her very girly older sister Kasumi has lots to do with it too. | |

In Despair's Last Resort, Ayame Ishikawa, the only girl on her otherwise male football (as in soccer) team suffered from this. Hikaru's willingness to befriend her without judging her for that helped the two become friends, until he tried to kill her to keep his cheating on his girlfriends secret, and she accidentally killed him in response. | |

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Chloe Cerise is a Girly Girl with a Tomboy Streak, but all her classmates care about is her relationship to her father, not the fact that she actually has other talents. She mentioned one time that she was ostracized by both groups when they "decided" to make clubs: the girls found her too rough, the boys found her too girly. This adds more to the ostracization she faces in a world where almost everyone loves Pokémon. | |

Tomboy Blues: The main plot point of the fic. Stella had some bad experiences with ostracization due to her tomboyishness in her old school, to the point where people questioned if she was even a girl, and when Rusty did a better job at playing the role of the wife in the sting operation, it brought her insecurities back out. In the end, though, the boys and Lynn are able to help her realize that it doesn’t make her any less of a girl. | |

3rd Rock from the Sun: One episode introduces Janice, a tough, super-strong cop. Sally, another tough Lad-ette, challenges her to an arm-wrestling match but Janice easily beats her. When Sally confronts her again, Janice starts crying and tells Sally that she is "soft inside", and hates being seen just as a "tough warrior" and not as a woman. Probably Truth in Television, since she was played by Chyna. | |

Mion from Higurashi: When They Cry is One of the Guys and even refers to herself as an "old man". Despite this she secretly has a more feminine side and gets very upset when Keiichi gives Rena a cute doll because he deemed Mion "too boyish" for it. Mion's situation is more complicated than most examples. Mion has an identical twin named Shion. The two used to pretend to be each other often until one day Mion received a yakuza tattoo. The problem is Mion was really Shion, thus the girl everyone knows as Mion was born as Shion. Mion has to pretend to be a tomboy instead of a Girly Girl, and the other way for Shion, though occasionally their 'true' personalities come through. | |

One of the well-known example is Billie Eilish who often wears baggy tomboyish clothes to avoid being sexualised due to her voluptuous figure (in addition to being underage) and that the shoots were done to make her feel more comfortable of herself. Despite this, she started to wear more form-fitting clothes during the promotion of her Lighter and Softer Girliness Upgrade album in 2021, causing enraged reception from numerous fans. | |

Wonder Egg Priority: Momoe is a tall Bifauxnen, but she hates constantly getting mistaken for a boy and does not like how her female admirers tend to treat her like a male substitute because of her appearance; even her use of the masculine "boku" as an Expository Pronoun was just her resigning herself to this perception. After some time in the Dream World, she becomes more comfortable with herself, but starts using the more feminine pronoun "atashi". | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Madoka has a lot features which makes her a tomboy (notably short hair and a husky voice), but an important part of her character is that she hates them. | |

Urusei Yatsura: Ryuunosuke was Raised as the Opposite Gender and is a very tough and aggressive Bifauxnen due to her upbringing, but she really just wants to be feminine. She wants to wear dresses, put on makeup and date just like normal girls do. It's difficult since her overbearing father keeps foiling her every effort to be like a woman. As a result people keep treating her like a boy (or even mistaking her for a boy) and this is a huge Berserk Button for her. | |

Boku to Boku is about a tomboyish girl named Yuuki who befriends a Wholesome Crossdresser named Junichirou after she saves him from a chikan. Yuuki hates how boyish she is but everything she does results in Femininity Failure. Another crossdresser falls for her specifically because she's cool and boyish, but Yuuki herself wishes she were girly. | |

Ballet Shoes: Petrova is the merger between this and Middle Child Syndrome. She's considered the plain one of the family and is put on the stage with her other two sisters — Pauline, who's beautiful and will be a great actress, and Posy the spunky aspiring dancer. Petrova, meanwhile, prefers engines and aspires to be a pilot — hating the dance lessons she's forced to take at the academy (she in fact is stuck in the beginners' class for years). | |

Hime-chan's Ribbon: The titular character Himeko is a funny, energetic girl with Boyish Short Hair who is seen by everyone as the biggest tomboy in the school. She has an insecurity that she is not feminine enough and actually wants to be like her sister Aiko, a soft-spoken, domesticated girl who is considered very beautiful. Himeko sees Aiko as a role model and the ideal woman. | |

Total Divas shows Paige angsting over what to wear for the Hall of Fame ceremony — not wanting to tan or wear more make-up than usual. She finds a happy compromise, wearing a dress in black and still having Doc Martin boots on. | |
