I actually knew a kid like this once. He was a neighbor of ours’ in Richardson, TX. His older brother was a very good athlete and all boy. Little Drew, for some reason was just different—much to the consternation of his parents.
He was a good looking, well mannered kid. His only problem was that from the time he was a toddler, he wanted “girlie” things—play dishes, dolls, and the like.
At first, the parents humored him, thinking he would grow out of it. As he grew older, though, his “feminine” side became more apparent, in spite of what the parents did.
IOW, this little boy grew up to be quite flamming.
The point is, having watched this, I think the condition is something you’re born with.
On the other hand, I have seen perfectly normal, straight boys in high school become flaming homosexuals with the voice and all basically overnight.
I knew a kid when I was growing up that was the exact same way. His brothers were very masculine but he just liked being a girl. His family structure was as normal as it gets, so I don’t think that was a factor. I lost touch with the family when the boy was 7 or 8, so I have no idea how he turned out.

Born with? I see you get your talking points directly from leftists.
There is no gay gene. There are no gay children.

Sometimes it’s the coping strategy developed by a child after a trauma, but since the late 60’s biologists have had a fairly good grip on why it sometimes happens in mammals at large. It’s very easily and consistently replicated in the lab.
The template for mammalian brains is female. If estrogen is introduced into the womb prior to a males fetal testes being mature enough to start producing androgens, the estrogen will in one degree or another inhibit the brain’s ability to recognize the androgens. Subsequently, the masculine structures of the brain tend to be under-developed. Once born, that semi-female brain will conflict with the male body.
It’s pretty sad, really.
Nope yer wrong. That kid was trained that way by those parents. You said it yourself.
