My boy is 4 and always wants to be a princess, or any female character from TV shows. Its adorable and I don't give a fuck. If he wants to be a she when he grows up, my only concern is hardships from intolerance.
When he was little my boy loved dresses and dressing up with his sisters. He begged us to buy him a spider girl costume and we did. He loved it. He's ten now and working out how to talk to girls cause he likes them. Turns out I, his father, wear the dress now.
I played with Polly Pockets and shit as a young boy, and I'm pretty solidly a cishet dude.
It's almost like your environment doesn't determine your sexual orientation or gender or something.
I'm a cishet dude too. I just feel comfortable in a kilt and have medical issues that make it practical.
Society got it wrong when they decided who had to wear pants, just from an anatomical standpoint.
You are an amazing parent ❤️
The important thing is that they grow into an emotionally intelligent adult, because it will allow them to better understand and protect themselves, as well as others around them.
Society is changing to a better direction when you raise gentle children like you are, even if sometimes it doesn't feel that way.
I was the same. Girls - especially princesses - got all the attention and were allowed to wear pretty dresses. Kinda says something about the role we as a society force onto boys maybe.
