    As a former Tomboy, I cringe at these parents and feel so sad for their kids. Its sickening, and to affirm a lie is not compassion, its abuse. I was jealous of my brother being able to pee standing up when I was about 4, I heard a doctor recently say this is a trans symptom - WTAF, are these people on. The pendulum will swing back I hope, and these people will pay dearly for their crimes against kids.

    So because her child didn't want to wear dresses and wanted to wear superhero clothes, she started telling the child that they're a boy. That's crazy. That poor child being confused by her mentally disturbed mother.

    My sister sent her childhood saying she is a boy and my parents did not call her a boy . She is a girl and married now with kids and does not even remember that phase that lasted 5 or more years . She thinks she was a kid

    I absolutely agree with the sentiment that, regardless of your child's identity, "It's just hair, it will grow back." Allowing a child to choose the length of their hair is such a simple way in which they can express themselves. I went to school with kids who were allowed to have their hair temporarily dyed funky colours, over the summer (or use hair chalks etc...) I thought that was a terrific idea! I never knew if I was allowed, because I never asked, but my parents let me keep my hair long, even though it was a nightmare to tame (my Mum was not allowed to do so, when she was young). Restyling your hair or experimenting with colour, is not the same as getting a tattoo. And whilst it does grow back and colours fade, it makes such a difference to the way that one feels in and of themselves. I am dyspraxic, which means I have sensory processing issues and I have always felt safer in stressful situations, being able to hide behind my hair and wrap myself up in it. I think I would feel exposed, for want of a better adjective, if it was cut short. I remember how anxious I felt, knowing people my age whose parents made them have it at a length they didn't like.
    Few people would quibble the right of a child to choose their own clothes, as they get older and are able to dress themselves. Making decisions about one's appearance is important. Children are not mere extensions of their parents - as individuals they should be allowed to carve out the shape they wish to take in this world and it's oft the smallest of things that matter the most.
    My body is mine and so is my hair. 😊

      ​@@yvonnecopithorne192It isn't my place to pass judgement on Dexter's identity or his mother's life with him. Why can't I find parallels that may help us all to understand diversity in others and ourselves, better? I am not insisting that you agree with me.

    She was already calling him Dave for pete's sake. Is that not encouraging him enough ? I'm sorry I don't get it?

      For loving their kid? For allowing their kid to be??? You need to know, that life has a very funny way to make us learn our lessons. Who knows, maybe someone close to you will go through this so you can learn to have a little empathy for others instead of being a hateful troll.

    Why is Brittain so obsessed w/ changing a child's gender? So let him grow into his own, let them decide at the right age. Shame on you parents. Honestly. Jail time for neglect, abuse, munch houser or something. Dexter was a serial killer by the way. 😢
