Cross dressing baby

[Anonymous]

My BIL and SIL are planning on putting their baby girl in a male costume, that is a costume that is clearly a male character. Their argument is that it's hand me down and cute, so why would they buy something new?

Several family seem offended by this idea.

Baby is under 6 months old, and has no opinion on the matter.

Is this something that would bother you?

No. End of thread.

I have criticisms of the T in lgbt (and more so criticism for parents and not trans themselves)

But this ain’t it.

This is totally fine. (Says I, lol)

Why would it possibly bother me?

I don't know. I'm the person who lent them the costume, a hand me down from my own kids, so I'm clearly not bothered.

I was surprised because this is grandchild number 9 in the family, and no one has batted an eye at little boys wearing their sister's dress ups, or putting a baby girl in an outfit with trucks on it, or anything like that. So, I was kind of surprised when people were like "No, I wouldn't do that" about this. I thought I'd ask.

Of course not. My stepson happily dressed as Peppa Pig one year. He was super happy about it, and nobody gave it a second thought. My Dd went as Peter Pan one year. Again, no big deal.

It's a costume. They're not saying the baby is really the opposite gender, just like it's not really a pumpkin or a witch...

This has to be fake. Literally no one cares about this.

omg this is such a non-issue. my super masculine husband dressed up as an old lady, complete with panty hose for Halloween when he was little. Its cute and funny.

What? How is this an issue?

I still chortle at the memory of the African American ladies of our daycare telling my Asian husband, who was responsible for pick-up and drop-off, that they didn't want my 6 months old son dressed in pink girly outfits.

The back story is that at the second trimester ultrasound, we were told he was a girl. Then he was born premature (no other ultrasound), but my aunt had already sent us pink outfits, and we'd already bought a pink stroller. So he went to daycare with a variety of different boy and girl outfits. As if we cared! And he certainly didn't!

People are weird. You laugh. It's fine.

We did abandon this daycare shortly thereafter, because they weren't very good, and the clothes issue was the just the tip of the iceberg.

That is so weird of them but also I’ve never heard of a gender reveal being incorrect. The reason I didn’t find out the sex of my baby before she was born was that I didn’t want my great aunts send super frilly dresses!

Oh gosh, I have no trouble believing this. Boomers can be so freakin weird about gender.

The title is the best part of this thread!

Saw it two hours ago and laughed.
Then ignored.
Went away and came back and it made me laugh again.
