Abstract

TB/TBG role-play is common among lesbian couples in Hong Kong. Lesbians in Hong Kong adopted the term “TB,” which is an abbreviation for “tomboy,” to signify masculine lesbians. Conventionally, “TB” is the one who plays a masculine role and “TBG,” which is an abbreviation for “tomboy’s girl,” plays a feminine role. A “tomboy’s girl” means a tomboy’s girlfriend. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
