...in the car on the way home just now. He says he talks like a boy but he's really a girl and he just never takes his boy costume off. I asked him why he thinks this and he said "well, look, we've got the Little Mermaid, and Tangled, and all this girl stuff..." and I said "well that's not necessarily just girl stuff". I told him that ultimately that whether he's a boy, girl or a rhinoceros we'll always love him the same, but I'm wondering if this is normal or if he's actually really trying to tell me something. (I saw that girl on This Morning the other day, the transgender beauty queen, and she said if she could have had the op when she was five she would have.)
DS is six, and he's a healthy happy chap who has been known to dress up in princess dresses which I don't have a problem with - I've never read much into it but am just wondering if I should?
