The serious and sometimes satirical reflections of a priest, poet, and pilgrim —
who knowing he has not obtained the goal, presses on in a Godward direction.
A cow is an adult female bovine, a boy is a human male child. A cowboy is neither. A cowboy is an adult human male who herds steers or steers herds.
Tobias Stanislas Haller BSG
inspired by an earlier discussion of the slipperiness of language, and the importance of context for meaning.
“a clear-sighted companion.... If you are passionate about the vitality of today’s church, I encourage you to accompany him on his mystagogical excursion into the liturgical landscape. You will rediscover a familiar place rife with fresh provisions planted by the God who longs to feed our deepest hungers and hopes.” —Jay Koyle, chair, Faith, Worship and Ministry of The Anglican Church of Canada

So what is a cowgirl?
You're clearly employing the well known liberal ploy of playing with semantics in order to obscure the plain literal meaning of the word!
Dahveed, Online Webster's gives the confusing and gender-bending definition: "a female cowboy." My print Webster's is much more helpful: "a girl who assists in herding cattle, etc." Somewhat dismissive, but not so confusing. I will say that the online search for "cowgirl" also produced some definitions that are far from PG rated. Enter at your own risk...
Erika, as a wise man once said, "You might well think that, but I couldn't possibly say that." Or words to that effect!
