My younger dc where 2 boys and a girl
One boy loved 'boy' toys,his brother 'girl toys' and their sister couldn't have been less 'girly' if she tried-she hated pink,'girly' toys and clothes
The joy on ds2's face when I bought him Disney princess dresses,dolls,a princess lunchbox,a wig and much,much more 'girly' stuff was magical
School went apeshit and told me I had to force him to be a boy (or in the nurses words 'we don't want him to grow up to be gay or a paedophile do we?'!!!)
My mother also went mental and was told to shut the fuck up-if she so much as glanced at him with disgust,I would stop her seeing them (and I carried it through)
He knew he was a boy,he just loved pink
His sister was seen hurling herself round the house dressed as a transformer while wearing a ben10 watch-she also loved animals,football and having her hair blow dried-they all did,their was so much more to all of them than liking toys and clothes of the 'wrong' sex
Both where where fine-I didn't care
All grew up-the 'girly' boy is as straight as they come (I did take a million photos of him in his dresses and wings with his wig perched on his head-we laugh at them)
His brother and sister are camper than Elton john-again,that's fine,it's who they are-when they bring home boyfriends or girlfriends,I will welcome them into my home and make them a cuppa
Tell him to grow up-you can't catch 'the gay'
(I did complain about the witch of a nurse but was told 'I'd 'misunderstood' her words-i fucking didnt)
