Hi everyone
My son is nearly 5 and has three older sisters. In the last few years i could tell that he always liked dresses, make up etc however now i can tell he sort of know it shouldn't be for boys to wear dresses but asks me with his little eyes full of hope. Today he has been wearing my dresses all day and his sisters did his make up. He is so happy it breaks my heart because i know how cruel the world can be.
Couple of days ago he said he wanted to cut his genitals off and stick girls ones on and this isn't the first time either, this happened when he was about 3 as well he said it.
Last night when putting pjs on he put his sisters nightie on.
He still adores cars, football, racing and i'm not sure if he is just giving in to his sisters because they refuse to play with any of his toys or if he genuinley wants to be a girl.
Everyone thinks it's funny but i just think of the world and how not everyone is going to love him and accept him if he really wants to change something.
