I disagree. I would not take you seriously cross dressed. I could not and I feel that I am pretty open. Maybe its me (and most of society).” We are so fortunate, darling, that we decided to have two such adorable little girls! I shudder to think of what they would be like had we let them continue to wear trousers!" I rang the doorbell but Jill didn’t seem too pleased to see me. "Oh I thought it was the new television we’re having delivered," she said before inviting me as an afterthought. "Come and have a cup of tea, Kay," she said.
Oh he’s right behind it. In fact I’ve got a little photo to show you." She got a photo out of a drawer and handed it to me. It was an old photo, about 1980 judging by the fashions. It showed a pretty young girl smiling at the camera in a pretty dress." It hurt me because if I remember correctly when I was your sons age I was one of those “society” people that would of judged him. One that just wouldn’t understand what was actually going on. In all reality it is just a person living their life. Not my life, but their own. A lot of times we humans tend to forget that the same choices we have in life other people do too. There is no right or wrong way to live life, there is just your way to live life. Women’s designs are beautiful, the fabrics nicer, the colors show life. Who wouldn’t like that? As a man you’re allowed none of that, and why?

Like my chums I took great pleasure in teasing the girls who lived in our neighborhood, sending them shrieking into their houses. I received many a scolding from Mother about this and the threat that, if I continued, she would invoke some dire punishment on me. Little did I dream of what it would be.
It is hard to let children, let alone adults, explore their inner desires, in a world full of judgement that seems hell-bent on traditional gender roles. Honestly, I’d love it if my son turned out to be a drag queen later on! I’d try to go to all of his shows 🙂 He shut his eyes tightly to blot out the sight of his Aunt and cousins derisive expressions when they spied him.

Oh, he’s fine. He’s done really well at school this year and as a reward we’re sending him off to a summer camp in three weeks," Jill told me proudly as she’d poured the boiling water into the teapot. It was the most sincere display of appreciation that my five-year-old son has ever shown. He looked me straight in the eyes and said a very mature and worldly “thank you.” The words were full of honesty, relief, happiness and a little bit of anguish.
It’s sad to see that some people are making such a big deal out of this. Clothes are just items that you use to cover your body, nothing more and nothing less (unless we give it more meaning). I remember that when I was younger, my mother used to give me hand-me-downs of my brother’s clothing even though I am a girl. Did I care? Not really. I used to go out and play in the dirt, so it was better to use those clothes than some new girly clothes that I didn’t like anyway. And nowadays, because of how I was raised, it is very odd for me to wear dresses or skirts or any “feminine clothing” in front of my father. When Robert's youngish Aunt made the pronouncement that she had every intention of curbing his boisterous and unruly ways by dressing him as her demure little ‘Niece', he created a considerable uproar, declaring that 'Never-never would he wear horrid girl 's clothes’. Little did he realize the futility of denying the wishes of a determined female. Robert whirled about, cheeks crimson, eyes blazing, "But... but... this... is... a... girl 's room!" he managed to stammer, nearly choking on the words.Then I realized that my actions were telling him “you can’t be you because I want you to be what society wants you to be.” with your next door's neighbour's two girls. Is this true, Peter?” Well, what could I say? I could only hang my head and mumble that I was sorry for what I'd Skirts were and still are commonly used by men in certain cultures. Even in European history, you can see that men wore long robes and skirts just like women. In Eastern cultures, outside of work, variations of skirts are casual for men. In fact, I know many immigrants who live in the US who have worn or recalled people wearing skirts casually in their countries. Only in recent history have skirts been considered girl’s clothing in Western culture. Because people are raised in this time in this part of the world, some are ignorant to realize that skirts were not traditionally for just women. And besides that, who exactly decided that ruffles and lace are girly while pants and blue are boyish? My guess is that marketers did this so that they could target their clothes to certain gender and age groups based on “what’s trendy”. Why else would there be a need to differentiate between boy’s and girl’s clothing? I think you have made a courageous but wonderful and rewarding decision. An incident from a recent feminist work sprung immediately to mind… Yes, mommy. See you later. Bye, Auntie Kay." He left the room and I heard the front door shut quietly.
He put the half empty glass down. His manners were perfect and I noticed that each time he had called Jill mommy, just like a little girl.I don’t blame my parents, but sometimes it’s easier than blaming myself. And more so, I don’t believe I should really have anyone to blame. I am okay with who I am, and I know that being gay is the path in life I need to follow to make myself happy–it’s the only way.
