[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's a control issue, not a gender or identity issue. It's a perfectly normal behavior at that age to want to start to control whatever they can. They have so little control of their environment and surroundings that they seek to control whatever they can. That can be anywhere from what clothes they wear to foods they eat, things they play with and where they go. Pick your battles, and this is not one of them to have. If you choose this hill to die on, the next 16 years of your life are going to be a hell of your own making. Find an outfit that looks nice, and doesn't include a dress or skirt and let her wear that to the big event. There are plenty of nice looking clothes for kids that do not include dresses.[/quote]
