my cat hates little kids and all boys?

ok, so my cat ran away and we were going to go see if the pund had her, before we went inside a little calico kitten ran up to us (along with 7 other pure black ones) with half her tail cut off and draging in the dust. we took all the kits inside and they said they can have the black ones but not her cause they didnt have the med attention, so they were gona put her down, we said no and took her to the vet then home with us, (he got the rest of the tail off) and kept her since. but also she wont let ANY little kids near her, and no boys either, exept my dad (cause she is used to him) and like claws anyone else (exept girls from the age teen and up)

any ideas to help me get her to stop attacking little kids and guys?

Update:

    Yes my kitty cat had the exact same problem! it took me years to find a cure but i finally did! Its supposed to be TOP SECRET but ill share because you seem super loveable! First you need to spend one on one time with your cat so you can get a sense of the deeper meaning behind your cats promblem. You need to get manicures with your cat, go out to dinner together,and even spary tan together! once your cat feels comfortable around you she will open up and come clean about that issue with children. and if THAT doesnt work you can always try cat posion......

    Honestly? Come on now, she's clearly been in a lot of pain and she's missing her tail, which is an extension of her spine, it probably still hurts her a little, she's going to need many many months to be able to not be terrified of having that pain happen again, just make sure the kids don't chase her, never force her to be held or petted, she won't attack if you're not trying to make her have attention, make sure she's got plenty of places to hide from you and just be patient, she clearly doesn't want to be touched and it's probably just all people, not just males and kids, it's just that males and kids are usually loud and scary.

    Try making people take their shoes off, boots and shoes are loud and vibrate through the floor very hard, I've got one that won't go near ANY one that is wearing shoes.

    If a kid hurt himself, it's natural even for humans to not want attention or people to be near them, making loud noises or touching them if you're hurt, Imagine you lost your leg, would you want people around trying to touch you? Kids are forceful anyways, they go to grab too fast, they grab too hard and it's likely she lost her tail because someone or something pulled it with their teeth, she's traumatized and you'll have to deal with that and wait possibly years for her to be okay, she may just always be a timid cat and you can't blame her.

    It seems like she was abused when younger and little kids are wild and loud. have a young kid with you. just sit down. have the kid be very quiet and gental. and some animals prefer certain genders
