[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]she is trying to force her screwed up lifestyle on her offspring and is surprised by the results?[/quote] Not the OP, but "screwed up lifestyle" is offensive. I don't agree with the way this mom is behaving, but I don't see it as any worse than any other parent forcing any other gender extremity on children.[/quote] perhaps it is slightly different than dressing a girl in girly dresses because , in that case, the child still appears as a girl to others and who then relate to her as a girl and reinforce to her that she is a girl. In this case however, dressing a girl like a boy and cutting her hair has resulted in this child who is a girl getting reinforcement from adults and her peer group of other children that she is a boy. A powerful thing in the life of a child, no? Seems a little to potent for a child who is still a child and whose self-concept is very much being formed. No? [/quote]
