[quote=Anonymous]I feel like these questions only arise because our society has lost common sense. Kids are naturally curious and a blank slate and he wants to have what his sisters have. Our job as parents is to guide them and to say no, on certain things, you can't have what your sister has. This is not like getting a doll. this is a permanent alteration to his body and you can't trust young kids to make that kind of decision until he understands the repercussions socially (potentially made fun of, potentially being called a girl, etc.). If it were my son, I would flatly tell him no, he can't get his ears pierced, because in our society, such things are reserved for girls. Might be different in another society and it doesn't say anything fundamental about identity or gender, but that is how it is in our society. [/quote]
