There are straight men who wear black nail varnish, I think they may be goths. And I know some men wear concealers, and there's noting wrong with that.
To think, all they've got to look forward to is pulling someone who looks like a Suicide Girl ...
Last year a four year old boy showed up to my daughter's birthday party in a rainbow ballet outfit. When my sister-in-law said to him she liked his shirt, he was sure to let her know it was actually dress.
Love that confidence. If he doesn't have a problem with it, why should anyone else?
And for Mickey and Incognito, his parents are married.

Was it a fancy dress party...or just his normal party attire??

Because allowing your children to express themselves through their choice of costume rather than forcing them to conform to gender stereotypes is so screwed up
A facebook friend of mine has just posted a photo of her little boy (he's around 2 or 3) in a Snow White princess costume, at first I was taken aback but it has a lot of "likes" and I know she's a very "earthy" mother, her approach to parenting is very natural and loving, and one of her boys favorite toys is his dolly.
It got me thinking as I'm currently pregnant with a boy, and although I wouldn't mind so much if he wanted a doll, I'd probably cross the line at buying him a princess costume, which makes me feel bad for stereotyping.
As a child, I was very much a tom boy, I used to wear boys clothes and I remember wanting an army toy for Christmas and my mum telling me it was "a boys toy" and I couldn't have it.
I've been doing a little research as I was curious how common this is and I found a Youtube video, it was a hidden camera experiment set in a costume shop, and they had a mother and her son arguing in the shop because he wanted the Belle (from Beauty and the beast) costume, and his "mum" was trying to get him to choose clothes from the boys department.
Other shoppers were getting involved, trying to persuade him to try on Spiderman and Army costumes, and telling the mum that there's no way they would buy their boys girls costumes.
They also did a role reversal, where a girl wanted to be Spiderman and the "mum" was trying to get her to try princess costumes.
Again, other shoppers got involved, telling the girl she would look so much prettier in a dress and that the costumes she wanted were for boys.
I just wondering what everyone elses take on this is. Have you been in that situation, what did you do? Or what would you do?

Young children are not old enough to make those kind of decisions for themselves.

What relevance does this post have to the subject?
If you're happy with it then so be it.
To know how it feels. To dress up and look ridiculous. A child is to innocent to realise.

I think it's society's constraints that do that tbh.
I agree
And yet since we've become more liberal, suicide rates have gone up.

Well it's what they like I guess.

They were all wearing costumes, yes. He also rides a pink bike to school.

As I see it the problem is that you, not him, are sexulaising it, you are viewing it as an adult.
He isn't.
Why are they screwed up again?

If it made him happy that's all I care about.

No, tell me. Tell me why these two complete strangers are screwed up.

No one as far as I've seen in this thread is forcing anyone to wear anything they don't want to.
Now he 's dressing up as batman, we need to ditch the bunk beds and buy him an attic.
