I believe the Trope should be called Downgrade instead of Upgrade, Upgrade seems to suggest improvement on the character where when most Tomboys are made into Girly Girls in these shows they pretty much become nothing but an extra.

Renames go to TRS. As it is, it's better to have the name be "upgrade" since it's referring to the feminine factor being turned up. Girliness Downgrade would either result in misuse (for a character becoming a tomboy) or bashing (saying a character got worse from girliness).

That may be a matter of opinion. Anyway, renames go to the Trope Repair Shop.

Wont allow me to suggest another discussion, stating that there is over 400 discussions and they need to clear up some first before anymore could be suggested

Yes, there's a thread cap in order to prevent backlog. A different thread will have to be closed first; be patient and an opening will come. Image Pickin' has a similar rule, though it's almost never at its limit.
