[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Team “okay dear” to her saying she wants to be a boy.

But also, if she consistently wants short hair and “boy” clothes let her have them.  (If like my 3yo she waffles between wanting short hair like her brother and wailing at the sight of the hair scissors, leave well enough alone however.)[/quote]

Disagree with this. Why should a 3 YO call the shots on what she wears? This is where parental guidance is needed. [/quote]

Um, because if they’re clean-ish, fit well enough, and are more or less seasonally appropriate who cares what a 3 year old wears? Other than the 3 year old, of course. [/quote]

Who needs parental guidance. 3 YOs want all sorts of things. It is, supposedly, up to their parents to teach them. [/quote]

“Boy” clothes at this age are only different than “girl” clothes in that they come in duller colors and the trousers are less tightly fitted.  If a 3yo girl wants to wear grey joggers and a shirt with a dinosaur instead of pink leggings and a shirt with a unicorn I’m not going to “guide” her that all girls MUST wear unicorns and never dinosaurs.  Frankly, I think gendering clothing under the age of 5 is profoundly stupid and a cash grab on the part of manufacturers.[/quote]
