My son is ten. Since he was a toddler he's lived having his nails painted. I've either done his toe or fingernails and a gender free colour. It's also only in the holidays as its not allowed at school. He asked for silver nails like me so I did them this half term. But then he said things which he must have learned at school. He said he's a girl, so I said no he's a boy with nail polish which is perfectly normal. Then he said he's gay which I said no he's just wearing nail polish, doesn't make you gay.
His dad (my husband) used to be full goth with nail polish, make up etc but that was twenty years ago so dc have never seen it. I don't associate nail polish with being female or gay, it's just decoration.
So as he likes wearing it should I continue but keep educating him that straight men can wear polish although it's not the norm? Or do I need a different tact?
