A Seattle family has grown to accept their 5-year-old son who likes to wear dresses, sequin and pink. The Kidodavis family have not only accepted young Dyson, their heartfelt support has made local news in the Washington city after Dyson's mom, Cheryl wrote a children's book about it. My Princess Boy tells the story of a young boy who is not like other boys his age because he desires to be a princess. The family appeared on the local TV show "New Day" sharing their fascinating journey. Dyson says, "I like to dress up in different kinda of clothes, and jewelry." Cheryl reveals she first became aware her son was fond of women's apparel while picking up at day care. Dyson was wearing a red sequin dress and pink heels. Dyson's mother admits she was initially uncomfortable, and said she went shopping for boy's clothes and Kung Fu gear to place in the dress up closet at Dyson's daycare. The next time she picked Dyson up, Cheryl says he had on a yellow dress. Cheryl is not the only one on board with Dyson's way of expressing himself, the child's father is 100 percent supportive of Dyson's love for dresses and jewelry as well. Dyson's father Dean Kilodavis says, "I'm fine with it. I just want him to be happy and healthy." Dean continues, "In the end, when he's grown up, I want him to be able to say that no matter what he chooses, my parents were supportive of me." Dean says Dyson knows he has a sanctuary at home. The support for Dyson's desire to be a princess doesn't end with his family-Dyson's school also accepts him thanks to his teacher. The entire school was given notice by the teacher that Dyson's wishes to be a princess for Halloween. Dyson's teacher shares there was no bullying, some students even dressed in solitary with Dyson by wearing ballet dresses.

For a second I thought this was going to be another anime thread. Princess Boy just sounds so anime-ish.


Not sure how I feel about the situation though.

I mean, while I agree that I'd love him no matter what, it doesn't ensure that the rest of society will. And while people will hate you no matter how you act, it's almost guaranteed that life would be harder psychologically/emotionally than the average if he carried this same mentality into adulthood. And as a parent you always want what's best for your child's safety even if it means changing who they are a little. That's why even some mom's who support the LGBT community might still fear their child coming out because they don't want their child to suffer all the baggage that comes with stuff like that, but at the same time suppressing true feelings is also bad.

Ti, you did not just try to create a comparison between self-image, sexuality, & mixing of gender associations with harm to others.

If he wanted to go around and stab everybody would they accept that too? This whole thing is unnecessary if you ask me. He's a kid. He doesn't know ANY better. Him dressing like a Princess in public is not cool but if his parents don't mind looking like idiots, that's fine for them I guess.

Originally posted by xclusivestylesz five year old boys DONT dress in pink heels and red dresses on a daily basis. kids don't do this "all the time." it's abnormal.
