When our son turned 6, my husband and I bought him a puppet theater and a chest of dress-up clothes because he liked to put on plays. We filled the chest with 20 items from Goodwill, mostly grown-man attire: ties, button-down shirts, a gray pageboy cap and a suit vest.
But we didnt want his or his castmates creative output to be curtailed by a lack of costume choices, so we also included high heels, a pink straw hat, a dazzling fairy skirt and a sparkly green halter dress.
He was thrilled with these presents. He put on the sparkly green dress right away. In a sense, he never really took it off.
For a while, he wore the dress only when we were at home, and only when we were alone. He would change back into shorts and a T-shirt 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 sparkly green dress, asking me to tie the halter behind his neck and the sash around his waist.
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. He wore shorts for camp and trunks for swimming, but otherwise he was mostly in the dress.
My husband and I were never of the opinion that girls should not wear pants or climb trees or get dirty, or that boys should not have long hair or play with dolls or like pink, so the dress did not cause us undue alarm or worry. But school was about to start, and we found ourselves at a crossroads.

It is one thing to play and not react as a parent to certain behaviours that will make the child more inclined to do them. It is another to foster those behaviours and encourage them. These idiots will pay dearly down the road for their inability to properly parent their child.
It does! I never lived in a place so alien as Seattle and W WA in general.
Kid needs HELP not hula skirts. Whole family needs serious psychiatric care. Breeding insanity and expecting the world to applaud and play along. NOPE.
So we brainstormed. We role-played. We practiced saying, If girls can wear pants or skirts, so can boys.
IOW, they brainwashed the child.
What do children know that should be authoritative? Should we feed them candy for every meal because that’s “just them?”
"...Mom and Dad need to get this kid some counseling..."
Women can be strange on this issue. They tend not to see anything wrong with it.
One reason it’s a bad idea to give them carte blanche in raising boys.
One of my sons liked to wear a cardboard box but when it wasn’t playtime anymore, we made him take it off. He’d lose interest for a few days before he’d decide to be a turtle or whatever his imagination saw in the box. He didn’t get to wear it when we went out, for Goodness sakes!
Complete lack of values growing up for both parents. Then, the world and the government filled in the vacuum.
Some people have a deep seated perverted need to disprove ordinary convention even at the expense of their own children.
THE FIRST ONE IS THE STORY YOU ARE BEING GIVEN AS A TRUE STORY
SHE WRITES FICTION
Really has a higher opinion of herself than normal people

Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Here comes another “bradass97”!
When I was that age, I could easily have chosen to "be a girl" if my parents were encouraging it. It wasn't until I hit puberty that I even had an interest in my sexuality. What does a six-year-old know?
A ditzy woman who takes pride in faggotizing her son.
Whatever happened to “you’re a boy or you’re a girl”?
These idiots are so afraid they will stifle their little flowers that they allow them to settle on a path that leads to depression, ostracism, disease from a promiscuous lifestyle, a much higher risk of suicide, the inability to form normal relationships and create a family without adoption or science(spreading the anguish to another generation).
Parents like these throw up their hands at the idea of actually acting in their kid’s best interest. There are plenty of ways to channel creativity and a love of sparkly things in boys without cross-dressing. But that would take thought, self discipline and effort with a commitment to the child & his/her future rather than to their own idea of themselves as welcoming anything that comes into their path. Creating a damaged child to show you welcome the damaged is abominable.
They are mentally ill, and just a few short years ago, that’s what would be said, and they would have had the child yanked away.
In the times we live, they get attention, they get to make special demands, they get money to write a book, then they get a movie deal.
All at the expense of their little boy.
Where do they find these people?
