My guess is it is spineless parents who have been indoctrinated into believing that a 5 year old can make decisions for themselves ... or mommie wanted a little girl and has been nurturing this.
I was helping out with a fundraiser for a friends school over the summer. I ran into one of my wifes friends who is recently divorced and had her 5 year old kid with her. Later when my wife got there, I told her, her friend had stopped by with her daughter. My wife rolls her eyes and says that is her son and apparently the divorce so screwed her up that she started dressing her son as a little girl.
bitterness is a terribly dark and evil thing that can breed very strange behavior.
that strangely Nurturing mother should be “looked after”.
In other times a mother who dressed her boy as a girl would be considered an abusive mother, now she will be treated as the proud mother of a transgendered child. Don’t change the mother—no change the boy’s body.
I think that this is a problem of a parent projecting onto the child. I can see how a divorced woman can feel abandoned by her husband and then tries to turn her son into a girl so that “she” will never leave her mother. It could also be a case of a deep seated anger against men. But you can’t even consider that possibility these days as that would be considered homophobic.
