All the phages in here probably have bopped to Freakum Dress but have the nerve to say they want their sons to be a MAN.

These two I suppose, though I would really prefer he didn't because that would just make his life really hard and thus as a parent make my life hard as ****.

He would literally be fighting every single day.

That's why you warn him about it before you give him the choice. If he still wants to and understands what he'll be going through, then who am I to stop him?

That's a pretty open-ended question though. I mean most kids 0-5 love playing dress-ups, so wearing a dress wouldn't really mean anything.
If it wasn't for dress-ups though, and he wanted to wear it in public or on a day-to-day basis, I would take him to a therapist specialising in Gender Identity Disorder to find out if he was trans, and if she was, I'd start taking the necessary steps to help her transition, and would let her know that if she every changed her mind, all she'd have to do is let me know.

What if the child isn't trans and just wants to be a boy wearing a dress, or short shorts or some other clothes usually worn by girl.

Actually this would be the best course of action.

Ch. Reading these posts, some of y'all should be less concerned with having son and choose a daughter instead. You have choice, but no, you have to be different feed your kittens Pedigree, when you can just buy a damn dog.

"Hell get beat up for it."
Please.
He can get beat up got looking a certain way, talking a certain way, provoking somebody, etc...pretty much anything else. That's not a good enough excuse.
How about people start raising their children to not damn put their hands on anybody for no reason at all, especially if it doesn't concern them?

In regards to your trans statement, although it's good that he get checked out just to verify, it isn't always the case. I've dealt with children of all ages at the hospital who have a very gender neutral stance. One was a girl who likes wearing "boy clothes" because it was more comfortable. She didn't have any other confusion, but just wanted to be comfortable. There was another little boy (I want to say 6) who liked wearing princess shirts, but played with "boy toys" so it's really more of a complex issue than simply a trans issue. I fully get where you're coming from though, since this would help determine their reasoning and you could help them early on in life, if needed.

So you think your SON walking down the street's in a DRESS is not going to cause him problem's.......
GURL.

YES! Until they are at least 18+ and even then I won't support it and they will have to pay for the surgery themselves. It does not mean I will disown them but I wont be cheering it on. if they did I will love them the same.
My son will be taught how to love themselves inside and out so they hopefully would not be having such thought's. God makes no mistakes, if he blessed you into this world as a man, then it was for a purpose. You don't have to agree or support everything your children say's or want's.

All the close minded people in here.
As long as it's not hurting anyone, my child would be able to do whatever they want to in order to express them self.

your his parent!
This world is very cruel, getting beat up is the least of his worries.
and I don't feel a CHILD is old enough to make those decisions
and know the real consequences of those actions, You're supposed to protect your
child from harm, not send them in harms direction.

And sometimes God BLESSES you by making you intersex, not everything in this life is black and white.
A parent's love must be unconditional, not whenever you feel like it will benefit you.

How curious, this is the same thing some parents say when their sons come out of the closet.

No, I would not. I think gender roles are appropriate to an extent.
