My 7 year old boy has always been pretty feminine with his gestures and has always enjoys playing with dolls and babies etc. which I’ve never had a problem with at all. he’s a shy boy .. about 4 weeks ago he came to me and told me he would like to be girl and that he’s always wanted to be one and that it’s his dream I am fully supportive of this of course and have told him that I will be there always. It’s his birthday Friday and he has asked me to get him a wig, girls clothes/ shoes and make up obviously I will but I’m worried about him being bullied in school ( I understand this will happen) and of people not accepting him (or her). Im just looking for advice really and other people stories

Has he been exposed to a lot of lgbtq+ on the TV/ real life?

Sadly I think this is the case. Coupled with schools jumping on this ridiculous bandwagon and exposing young children to a world that they should not be exposed to at such a young age 💔

He's 7. His observation is that girls get to wear all sorts of nice clothes and boys are stuck in ugly shorts and superhero T-shirts. See how he gets on experimenting with a wider range of male fashions first before leaping into something more radical.
