Usually (REALLY usually) I am fine with his being girl character obsession (tinkerbell, snow white, princess, girl cousins and friends) but sometimes I begin to worry. What about, I'm ashamed to admit, is having a transgender child. I do not actually think that DS is that way, but boy, that really scares me. What does anyone else do with their boy who does girl things?

I would like to clarify that I'm not against transgendered people. but that would be a real biggie to explain.

i dunno, i think it's overalanyzing things.

IMO there is no such thing as girl stuff and buy stuff when it comes to little kids. seems like it's just fun toys. i'm also suspicious of the whole labeling thing since it seems to be mainly centered on boys doing "girl' things. i mean, my dd loves trucks and firemen but nobody would bat an eye about her being obsessed with "boy toys."



right? isn't a girl who enjoys "boy" activities just a tomboy and it's cute but we have to worry about a boy and "girl" things. i grew up hating barbie and strawberry shortcake, crying because my mom wouldn't buy me boys' yoda underwear cause the girls' stuff was "lame," collecting starwars toys and always being the only girl invited to boys' birthday parties. i doubt anybody was worried and i definately don't feel trapped in the wrong body

For me you don't have to Panic, i think its based on curiosity, maybe he just wanna explore new things but i think its not a sign of him turning into a gay. just don't let him put make-up on. lol

No need to panic. Talk or communicate to your son why he shouldn't be playing girl toys or stuffs.

i think its nothing to be panic about, maybe he do it just for your curiousity

there's really no need to panic, but try to observed him from time to time, but if he be a teen then still loves girly stuff best thing for a parent to do is accept him

Have you tried to introduce him to toys more suited to boys? I mean, you could've been encouraging him all along. How old is your son by the way? If he's not yet in school there may be influences to him that brought about his behaviour.

For example, does he have older sisters? Is he constantly around girls, older or his age? What about your husband, his father, is he there most of the time?
