Yep. My cousin’s daughter insisted she had a penis and was really a boy when she was 4—and this went on for several months. They didn’t encourage her or treat her like a boy; they told her she didn’t have a penis; she had a vagina and was a little girl. She eventually outgrew that phase. She is now a complete girly-girl and is a teenager. When I read of these cases, I cannot help but wonder how absolutely messed-up she would be, if her parents had indulged this little fantasy of hers or took her to a pediatrician that did.
This just breaks my heart. :^(
How did a four year old girl know what a penis is?
