Sounds like OP is the insecure one.
The idea of stuff being 'for boys' or'for girls' is just stupidity.

You have kids?
and to the poster that asked...YES...his Mrs is going to the Disney Store, skipping the action hero gear and outfitting the kid like a fairy. (one with wings....not one with leather chaps and a fake tash)

will turn them into a homosexual.
I don't recall that being the point of my post, but that's certainly the direction it went in quite quickly

The outfit that the child has asked for.If he were 5/6 yes, I can see why some people would be getting their pants in a twist; but this child is 3.
have non of you every experienced the terrible 2s and the tantrum 3s?
I'm not saying the correct way to deal with a tantrum is to give in to it, but I can certainly understand why a harrassed Mum would do so from time to time

I still don't see how wearing a dress can make you a homosexual. I have never seen Stephen Fry wear a dress.
Eddie Izzard, on the other hand, is straight.
I know this is going off on a tangent but this is an interesting thingEddie Izzard, on the other hand, is straight.
I heard a statistic the other day that 80% of cross dressers/ transvestites (I don't know if there's a difference) are straight.
Even though I consider myself open-minded and educated on things I must admit to be gobsmacked, verging on cynical of this stat.
The reason I assumed they were all gay was an assumption (rightly or wrongly) that men liked to wear dresses because they felt like a woman, or had a female mind or whatever. Sort of a half-way house to Frank 'Kelly' Maloney who actually considers himself to be a woman. Thus as a 'woman' they would be attracted to men.
Obviously isn't the case if there is any truth to that statistic

But if she had gone to the disney store and come back with a princess dress I would be on the WTF side of "cool with that"
I don't know the circumstances of the OP but I admit I would feel slightly irritated if it cost actual money to do.But given you are cool about nail painting, would it not be exactly the saem if they had a sister and wore one of her princess dresses (aged 3 remember)?
The age is the salient point in all this for me. At that age I see al toddlers as toddlers. In fact I often mistake the sexes of other peoples children but it just doesn't matter at all.
My 3 year old son wants to be the Hulk. Should I go out and get him some steroids to bulk him up a bit?
Like most on here I wouldn't mind if he dressed up when at a friends house but I wouldn't be happy with the wife going out and buying a princess costume.
(I did hear my colleague discussing weather to get his 1 year old some protein as he was skinny. What a t
t!)

I knew a post-op transsexual a good few years back and told me a lot of others who go through the change end up suicidal or living with lesbians as they're still attracted to women. Sex and sexuality being two different things.I heard a statistic the other day that 80% of cross dressers/ transvestites (I don't know if there's a difference) are straight.

She was a gay and trans-sexual and therefore was perfectly happy after the operation as she was now how she should be and attracted to who she wanted to be. She felt at peace after the operation.
All in all knowing her was an on going head f
k, especially when you wondered if she was thinking in a male or female way about something. Also, a question to those people who are generally uncomfortable with it.
Just say, hypothetically, that you had a son who you had raised as a boy, tried to make play football, bought masculine clothes for and killed stuff with who was increasingly camp and indifferent to your mens things until it became completely apparent that they were 100% bender.
At that point would you accept it and let them be gay as a youngster, would you keep trying to fight it and hope it would go away, or something half way in between i.e. "This is MY house and MY rules. Do what you want when you leave home but until then you will not pick flowers, wear tutus, read Heat magazine or watch Strictly COme Dancing"
(I assume that's all gay people do but not completely sure)
Well?
