    Speaking as one who was born to pants and tennis shoes but found himself being raised in skirts and curls from about 8 years old (after my father passed away), I can tell you that "health" has nothing to do with a boy's desire to wear a dress. There is some disagreement whether it was my step-mother's agenda to raise another daughter, or my desire to bond with my new step-mom and sis, the fact is that I grew up happy in a supportive family seeing a little blond girl in my mirror everyday. Obviously every boy is different, but I can tell you there are thousands here on EP who wished they had an opportunity to explore their girlish curiosities at an early age.

    Id make sure he was at least matching and did his make up properly.... and made sure he at least looked the best he could. Not up to me what my child wears. He is the one who has to carry that burden its my job as the parent to love and support my child through all things and to be there for him or her no matter what.....

    Make sure he understands whats gonna happen to him if he does it. Make sure he knows people will be mean and nasty toward him and may even want to hurt him because there are still insane bigots out there who think there opinions matter when it comes to stuff like this.

    blndtwr31, You sound like a fantastic parent. And you are right about the bigots, I've come across a few of them in my time. I just refer to them as idiots these days and think of them with contempt.

    I speak first with him (much). The dialogue is very important. Seen to that. I accede to his wishes. I clothe a girl completely. Then I'd take one day in the city. For he realizes the positive or negative view of it.

    I would sit down and let him know that I have no problem with him being who he wants to be. I would try to help him be that person. I also would need to tell him of some of the problems he will face in this world.

    Let him wear the skirt! If he wants a kilt he can wear that too, or if he wants he can choose a sequin pink skirt. Who cares? He's not hurting anyone, and its what makes him feel better.

    I would take him shopping and let him pick what he wants. If he wanted a girl to go with us to help him with fashion that would be perfectly fine as well. Then I would arrange a girl's party for him if he wanted it. I would be ever so proud.

    Because people in this world feel justified in attacking anybody who is different, which is very lame. Violence will be well recognized as a form of mental illness. It is already recognized as a symptom of mental illness.

    That's a hard one. (question.... I meant question) I'd have a few big talks with him because even though freedom of choice is something to aspire to I'd want to know why he'd be possibly wanting to put himself into the firing line by wearing something that other young people could tease him about. Teens are worse than little old ladies for being narrow minded, ignorant and biased.
