They definitely do exist, I personally know a few who are not transgender/homosexual and still have "feminine traits or characteristics" of sorts.

Tomboys are girls who behave like men but most of them are not transgender and lesbian.

But why there are no tomgirls, boys who behave like girls but are not transgender and homosexual?

What is the the reason?
