[quote=Anonymous]When my oldest was that age he definitely said he wanted to be a girl on occasion. Or would say he'd want to be a mom when he grows up. And he loved dresses. (And he also loved stereotypical things boys love, like trucks, trains, climbing, etc.) He doesn't say those things anymore. I think 3yos don't even have a concept of what boy vs. girl means. She probably just wants to be like her brother. My kid wanted to be like the many girls in his class who wore beautiful dresses to school. I couldn't blame him--dresses are fun! So I bought him one. He loved it. The point is, I wouldn't put any stock in what she is saying just yet. But if the statements/etc. do continue, I recommend reading This Is How It Always Is. (Also generally; it's a great book. But there is a chapter with violence against a trans woman, which could be difficult for some.)[/quote]
