Anyone else seen this? Apologies, no link as it doesn't seem to exist online - yet here I am looking at it. That's odd in of itself.
Anyway, it's an article on kids wearing drag and focuses on three children, who to my eye appear male: Desmond (age 10), Thomas (11) and Zach (15). Desmond describes himself as gay (note: not trans!), Thomas doesn't mention sexuality/orientation at all and Zach says outright that 'the best thing about a boy wearing make-up is that it promotes a conversation'.
I am torn; on the one hand, I find the idea of kids adopting drag a little off-putting (esp as Thomas says he wants his future look to be 'spiky heels, a corset and ripped lace ungergarments'). On the other hand, these are three very obviously gender-conforming boys and the word transgender has not been mentioned once. I am very pleased with that bit 
Any thoughts? To me it feels like the Guardian/Observer might be opening up slightly to the concept that you can like glitter and still be a boy. Happy days!
