This is why I said that they have to be thoroughly examined psychologically, to insure that they are not victims of their parents weird ideas. If they are, then they need psychiatric help, and their parents need to be investigated for child abuse.
Just because some parents might do this (almost equivalent to Munchhausen syndrome) does not mean that there are not other children who have organic wiring problems in their brains.
Even if a child does have organic wiring problems...do you put a dress on the kid?
Do you deliberately put a giant magnifying glass on the trait that makes this kid different?
I still say make the kids wear pants (like just about all the girls) and use the right restroom. And wait until the child has at least hit puberty, to make his own decision on how ‘weird’ or ‘in the closet’ he wants to be.
I cannot think of any possible circumstance in which it would not be child abuse to dress a 6 y/o in a dress and tell him to go use the girl’s bathroom at school. The kid is way too young to make his own decisions on this. Even if a kid had mutated 75/25 genitalia, I would raise him as a boy, at least until he was old enough to understand the implications and stigma of advertising his sexuality on his sleeve through social protest.
For similar reasons, I wouldn’t put a tattoo on a 6 y/o, for example.
