Hi I'm posting here so there isn't a lot of hatred and arguing. Please be respectful, this is a really difficult time.
DS has always been allowed whatever h wants. He has princess dresses to dress up with at home, he likes short hair so has it like that and he wears all the pink in the world. Not w problem at all. I don't try and pretend to him it's girls stuff. He's just a boy who likes those things, not a boy who likes girls stuff.
Anyway, he is extremely angry when he cannot wear a school summer dress, girl school shoes, leotard and skirt at dance, swimming costume/bikini, he's even wanted to try a bra type thing.
This is what concerns me, I've told him some of those clothes are designed in such ways for a girls body (seriously what else can I say!?). I've said you don't need a bra do you? And he gets so angry. Hysterically crying. He's not good at vocalising how he feels.
He started destroying his school uniform the other day, sobbing he can't wear a skirt.
I honestly don't know what to do. I've always been very much if I raise him to believe he can be a boy and have these things, he'll never need to think he's a girl.
I'm at such a loss. Does this sound like a transgender child to you? He's 10 by the way.
