1969 quote

@-sche I'm not convinced that the 1969 quote belongs under sense 1 and not under sense 2. Under sense 1, the second clause of the sentence after the semicolon is redundant, saying exactly the same as the first clause. Under sense 2, the second clause is expanding on the first clause, saying that not only do most effeminate boys grow up to be straight, so do most boyish girls. —Mahāgaja · talk 08:58, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Good point. I wonder if we should reorder the senses, too, as the "boyish girl" sense seems more common. - -sche (discuss) 00:53, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
