    As I pointed out before, I don't know a counterpart-term for tomboy (girl with male outfits / behaviour) other than trap (boy with female outfits / behaviour). Blame the English Internet-users for not using anything else to describe what I mean.

    I suppose there's not even a noun in my language which would perfectly describe it; we only use the adjectives "burschikos" (tomboyish) and "mädchenhaft" (girlish).

    Also, in case it's not clear enough so far, I don't use the term trap in an insulting way. I don't even use the German word "Kampflesbe" when I talk about lesbian women who act / dress as guys but say all men are bad.

    No I'll blame you for not being more careful with which words you're using. It's alright if you make a mistake but own it then instead of excusing it imo. Of course you can do or say what you want but expect to be called out for it if you say something like that.

    It's okay though I never called you in particular a pedo, just said that lalafells may only be a trap for pedos and calling them that way is thus very strange. Even if "trap" isn't necessarily interpreted that way nowadays, it used to not very long ago and many will still recognize that meaning since it makes sense with the literal meaning of a "trap".

    From my point of view, you can blame me as I did something wrong - there's no whitewashing for my mistake, so why should I even try to. I stick to the things I say and know not everyone will like my opinions.

    About the apology-part, I say "I'm sorry." or "I apologise for ..." when I directly hurt somebody's feelings. I'm not the kind of person who wants to display general sorrow just to make sure people aren't going to behead them.
