Talk:Sissy

message: The Celluloid Closet mentions the rôle of sissies in Hays Code-era Hollywood, but they are wholly absent from this piece. Could someone with more knowledge than I expand this? — OwenBlacker (Talk) 13:54, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  LGBT depiction in Code-era Hollywood 

message: DexDor, regarding this edit, what do you mean? We include alternative titles for articles that are about words as well (as also currently seen in the lead of this article), so I don't understand your reasoning on this matter. Nowhere does WP:Alternative title state what you have stated on this matter. Neither does WP:WORDISSUBJECT.
On a side note: I won't WP:Ping you to this section again. So if you want to read replies, then you will need to check back here or temporarily put this article on your WP:Watchlist. Flyer22 (talk) 06:02, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about the word "sissy" so including derived terms ("sissy baby, sissy boy, sissy man") makes sense, but not words with similar meanings. E.g. the Orange (word) article doesn't say "or tangerine" in the lead sentence. DexDor (talk) 06:14, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with your rationale, per what I stated above; tomgirl is the same thing as sissy. We don't create Wikipedia articles for every alternative name of a term; that would be creating WP:Redundant forks. Instead, we cover those names in the same article and include them in the lead if need be, or create a separate section for them. The Slut article is an example of that; it will be more so an example once I re-include the word slattern there. That stated, I already mentioned when reverting you that I'm not hard-pressed regarding this matter. I might include something about "tomgirl" lower in the article so that readers know that they are being directed to the correct article via the tomgirl Wikilink.

thread_title:  [[WP:Alternative title]]: "[[Tomgirl]]"  

message: Actually, there are some significant differences between a tomgirl and a sissy. A tomgirl is less "girly" and feminine than a sissy, and has a mixture of masculine and feminine interests, and still wears the same clothes that other, more masculine boys wear. A sissy, on the other hand, is very feminine, to the point of actually being "girly", has mostly or completely feminine interests, and wears makeup and clothes that girly girls would normally wear. The only reason why a tomgirl is called a tomgirl is because he is the conceptual opposite of a tomboy, which is a boyish girl; however, he is not quite as "girly" as a sissy. The collective term for both tomgirls and sissies would be girly boys. In terms of sexual orientation, a tomgirl can be straight, gay, or bisexual, but is usually straight, while a sissy, on the other hand, is usually gay.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.6.30 (talk) 18:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Differences between tomgirls and sissies, and a collective term for both types: girly boys  

message: This article appears to be about two different topics, and may need to be split.  Much of the reasoning has already been described in the #Image warring section above, but as they may be archived separately. So I'll quote portions:
* "This article, as described in the lead, is about "".  The rest of the article supports this definition."
* "There is a secondary meaning of "sissy" that involves a fetish subculture related to cross dressing, sometimes involving aspects of bdsm, forced feminization, erotic humiliation, and other sexual fetishes. In addition, in this secondary sense, it is not a pejorative term."
These are two very different topics.  It's not clear which, if either of them is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, so they may both require parenthetical disambiguation, with a disambig page occupying the main title. Possibly Sissy (pejorative) and Sissy (fetish). The main question would be, if there are enough reliable sources to support an article on "Sissy (pejorative)".  If not, this should be converted to a WP:BCA. Mathglot (talk) 03:49, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: there use to be an article, , which was turned into a redirect to the article Feminization (activity), which I don't view as the same thing. A conversation started ages ago at Talk:Sissy (crossdressing) and just picked up again, may be related to this. Mathglot (talk) 07:53, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unfocused article 

message: Im an independent artist and I am a sissy. I want you to use a picture I did to illustrate how is the real aspect of a sissy. I think there's a confusion between crossdressers and sissies. I'm open to give a picture to a wikipedist to upload it. My Twitter is @sissybarbiepau if you want to get in touch with me.
Thank you!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2800:810:558:10DF:9D52:C001:9755:CC63 (talk) 14:46, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
