    I remember when my daughter (elementary school age at the time) let all the kids into her dress-up clothes. There were some parents who were less than pleased to see their sons wearing tutus, tiaras, gowns, fairy wings and the like. Honestly, they all looked adorable!

      Do they think that if a toddler puts on a tutu they become instantly gay or something? Those parents are idiots.

        yes. they do think that. they also think their god actually cares about what that boy’s wearing. (while also simultaneously sexualizing them.)

      The son of my wife’s best friend went through a phase when he was a pre-schooler when he liked to wear dresses and she let him. He dresses like a boy now. It was a phase. Parents who freak out over this stuff are nuts.
