Sorry if this has been someone else on here but just wanted peopes views on this.

Gender isnt stereotyped that much nowadays, this child may be a girl but chose to be a tomboy or grow up to be homesexual etc, but that is their choice when they grow up or figure out who they are. To me it seems like the mother really wanted a girl. And that child ad no say really in what clothes they were to wear.

Mad as a bag of snakes (and cruel too).

Looks like a boy to me...and i think thats bloody stupid brining the kid up gender neutral...messing with the wee souls mind....idiots xx

I remember this story from a year or so ago - I feel sorry for the kid, he knows now he's a boy but he has to wear the girls' uniform. This is parental pressure - it's not kind to the child.

"people didn't come round because they thought i was mental"
you are blooming mental!

[4getmenot]

they must know it was wrong thats why they stopped it when he went to school so why do it in the first place?

[cazzz1975]

I noticed all the pictures have him wearing girls clothes, I cant help feeling they wanted a girl and cobbled up this excuse. very sad and confusing for the poor lad

Poor child.

[bednobs]

i would imagine the school wants to know for toilets and stuff

[ummmm]

My son loved nothing better than dressing in girls clothes. Gender doesn't matter to children unless the parents let it.

[sherrardk]

Must take a lot of work to be that mental - strange that both parents thought it was an ok thing to do. Feel sorry for the little boy, surely this will cause him long term damage plus the fact that all the people that know him will think he is a weirdo with nutters for parents.

and sasha is more of a girls name. She did just want a girl.

Ummm - nothing wrong with that, but at least he knew he was a boy. You can let your child explore all elements of their personality without denying them the right to identify with their gender. Poor kid - she says they encourage him to wear girls clothes at the weekend - how is that giving him free choice?

[annie0000]

Sasha is actually a boys name - it's a diminutive of Alexander.

i remember a girl on holiday who for first few days i thought was a boy because her mother put her in trunks and she had short hair. The mother dressed her sisters in pretty dresses.

[annie0000]

wanted a boy 4get or do you think that's what the wee one wanted?

[4getmenot]

yes i know, but to me its more a girls name

I hadn`t heard of this experiment with a kid in the UK. A Canadian couple tried this with their kid. It would be interesting to compare notes.

[annie0000]

I think that tends to happen with names - they change over time. I went school with a boy called Kerry - now that would be seen as girls name only.

[ummmm]

I know Annie. That's what I meant. Not all parents make them wear pink or blue.

[annie0000]

yes Ummmm. My eldest went through a pink phase - but it was boys pink things he liked and now he chooses to have long hair - but I think that is just a fashion thing. It's up to him even though it drives me bonkers when it is in his eyes all the time!
