[quote=Anonymous]Obviously I can't speak for your neighbor, but as a somewhat butch straight woman who occasionally gets called "sir," I don't take it personally. And I especially would not get upset at hearing it from a 5-year-old. But it does sound like this pp's approach would be especially useful in helping him sort out his understanding of gender and help you figure out what is going on with him. [quote]Another way to handle it in terms he may understand is instead of asking why he thinks Mary is a boy, try asking what boy things he thinks Mary does. For that age, I find that actions and things are easier to identify than concepts. [/quote][/quote]
