This is almost exactly what I was going to say. I've always felt like a girl, just not a particularly "girly" girl.

For what it's worth, my [b]son chose to wear ponytails, nail polish, and sparkly jewelry when he was younger[/b]. His best friend growing up was a girl, and EVERYONE thought he was a girl, even when he was in "boy" clothes, doing "boy" things. Also (not that gender expression and sexuality necessarily correlate), many people thought he'd "end up" gay. Now he's a teenager with short hair, bland boy clothes, and a girlfriend. Who knew?[/quote]

Sincerely curious: Why would you ever allow a little boy to do this?[/quote]

Sincerely curious: Why not?[/quote]

Another why not here too. Most little boys I know have worn nail polish at some point.[/quote]

"Why not?" Please. Let's start with EVERYONE thought he was a girl....  Wouldn't happen in my house, I assure you.[/quote]

Where I live, young boys with long hair, boys w nail polish, whatever is no big deal. I live in a professional, high income, creative neighborhood... Parents are general not terribly judgmental about that stuff here. It's nice. Because, honestly, let kids pursue their interests... Pink, sparkle, nail polish and all that is naturally intriguing for most kids, boys and girls alike.[/quote]
