[quote=Anonymous]I see your point, OP. If she was just dressing her kid in clothes that she liked, and not making a big deal about gender, then NBD. But to go out of her way to "gender" her daughter male, and then take people's snap judgements as some kind of prediction about who her daughter truly is...that's messed up. Ideally, we should be letting kids embrace gender identity with no pressure, and it sounds like she has a lot of pressure for her kid to be first a tomboy, then a lesbian. Just as it would be wrong for a mom to insist that her daughter only wear lacy pink dresses, and to comment constantly on her daughter's beauty and femininity, to make a big about how everyone sees that her daughter is "really" a boy is trying to warp her kid's identity to fulfill her own needs. Give kids a balance.[/quote]
