Eventually he stopped changing out of it. He wore it to the grocery store and when he had friends over. He wore it to the park and the lake.

This article is likely a total fiction. What is important to libs is the narrative, not truthful reporting. What kid is going to be allowed to run around in the same article of clothing day after day after day. It would either need to be washed daily, which would wear it out, or it would stink to high heaven by the end of week two.

I would say the kid needs to be in the Cub Scouts, but the Pack leader is probably a cross-dressing homo too. All I can say about this situation is that I identified as a male at a very early age in my life because I developed a crush on one of my friend’s mother who lived at the end of the block. She was a dark-eyed beauty who I still remember as the stimulus for my healthy love and respect for normal attractive females.

What if the little boy told his mother and father that he was a horse? Would they put him in a stable and feed him oats?

Exactly. My daughter and her friend used to pretend to be horses. They made bits for themselves and galloped,cantered,trotted, whinnied around the yard. When I was a young girl, I sometimes pretended to be Annie Oakley, but more often I pretended to be a male figure. I'm sure everyone knew it was just pretend play and that I had no deep-seated desire to become male.

This discussion reminded me of when my mom bought a GI Joe doll for my brother. GI Joes had just come out. My father took the doll away - no son of his was going to play with dolls - even an army doll.

Lol!

I tell my mother how old I feel because I’m like this stubborn old conservative who can’t seem to get with the times. But you know what? I don’t want to get with these times. These times are evil. No thanks. So I just wallow in my “old age”. My husband is the same way and he’s actually a little younger than me.

Women can be strange on this issue. I'll say. I live in Charlevoix Mi., on northern Lake Michigan in the northwest part of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. it is the former summer home of John and Patsy Ramsey whose little girl, Johnbenet was murdered 20 years ago in Boulder Co.. I met John Ramsey several years ago when he was dating Natalie Holloway's mother. The case was so strange for the fact that Patsy was one of the domineering pageant mothers who forced Johnbenet into the contests where she won the title "Little Miss Charlevoix when she was very young and alive. I still think the late Patsy had the biggest hand in her daughter's death.

I know the feeling:

When our son turned 6, my wife and I bought him a puppy theater and a chest of toys because he liked to stage plays. We filled the chest with 20 items from Goodwill, mostly for humans.

But we didn’t want his or his castmates’ creative output to be curtailed by a lack of costume choices, so we also included dog collars and squeaky balls.

He was thrilled with these presents. He put on the spiky dog collar right away. In a sense, he never really took it off.

For a while, he wore the dog collar only when we were at home, and only when we were alone. He would change back into human clothes if we were running errands or had people coming over.

Then we would come home or our guests would leave, and he would change back to the spiky collar, asking me to throw his squeaky toy so he could chase it.

Eventually he stopped changing out of the doggie collar. He wore it on walks and would sniff trees and fire hydrants, even when he had friends over. He wore it to the park and the lake. He wore his dog collar for camp and for swimming the dog paddle.

My wife and I were never of the opinion that children should not wear animal collars, urinate on trees or otherwise relieve themselves outside, or that pets should not be treated like children, so the dog collar did not cause us undue alarm or worry. But school was about to start, and we found ourselves at a crossroads. Elementary school . . . or Obedience school?

I agree. I think wanting attention & letting your child be the adult trumps any kind of commonsense. My brother had an imaginary friend names “Corny,” imagine if our parents had encouraged it & worked to actively keep it going? Instead it ran its course & life rolled on. There are going to be some angry young adults someday who will ask, “Why did you not parent me?”

I hate faggotry as much as anyone, but let me play devil’s advocate for a second.

This isn’t about the boy acting like a girl. As several posters have pointed out, he’s too young to really have any clue about sex, or even gender roles. This is strictly about a little boy liking a sparkly green garment, albeit one that is inappropriate to his sex. It’s about the clothes, that’s all.

If he wears the dress, I’m guessing it’s because he likes green and the sparklies make it way more fun than dumb old cotton t-shirts and such. What child doesn’t like bright colors and shiny things?

I would be hesitant to make too big a deal of this; it’s something he’ll outgrow. I would NOT hesitate to tell him that he must dress appropriately when he goes out in public and to explain why.

If he’s sashaying around in lacey undies in a few years, then it would be time to put a foot down.

Not sure if you made it to the end of the lunacy or not:

But it was also true. He had already decided. He didn’t think about that anymore. And he — she — never looked back. She grew out her hair. She stopped telling people she was a boy in a skirt and started being a girl in a skirt instead.

And we, as a family, decided to be open and honest about it, too, celebrating her story instead of hiding it.

Two years later, our daughter still sometimes wears the green dress, for dress-up and to put on plays, as we imagined her doing in the first place. Now that she can be who she is on the inside and on the outside, on weekdays as well as on weekends, at home and everywhere else, the sparkly green dress has once again become just a costume.

It is not a new phenomenon for parents (especially mothers) who wanted to have daughters to push these sexually confusing roles on to their sons. It can have very psychologically devastating consequences. There have been multiple serial killers who later told stories of how their overbearing mothers forced them to dress in girls clothing as children.

Nope. Didn’t have the stomach for that.

I withdraw my tolerance. These people should be flogged.

Back in my day, our video games only had 8 bits, and we were damn thankful for them!

We didn’t have any “smart phones”... we only had dumb phones, and the whole family would be eavesdropping on you when you tried to talk to your friends, and then bugging you to get off when they wanted to use the internet.

Couldn’t send nude pics to each other either... cuz we had to take the pictures to the pharmacy to get them developed, and nobody wanted the pharmacist telling their parents they were taking nude photos! Damn kids these days don’t know how good they have it!

That was your first mistake.

Your boy was a horse? My daughter was a kitty. Not that you’d know it now . . .

This is the most vile, filthy propaganda of the left. They are advocating the worst kind of child abuse.

“At the end of that first week, when he was going to bed on Friday night, he was upset about something — weepy, cranky and irritable. He couldn’t or wouldn’t tell me what the problem was. His eyes were wet, his fists balled, his face stormy.”

His mom put him in this situation. And his father did nothing to stop it. Over and over her SON told her he didn’t know when presented with options between acting like a boy or girl, but his mom steered him into the choices which he never should have been asked to make. It’s munchausen by proxy.

Two years later they have declared their son to be their daughter. Don’t know if they started hormones or castrated him yet. But the sickos at the NYT would have no problem with them doing either of those. None.

Inmates running the asylum.

And the rest of the story is..................? What happens when this ‘girl’ reaches puberty, and secondary masculine characteristics take place in his body? Hard to masquerade as a female then.
