Both my boys have had lots of female friends and of course sisters, and they both loved dresses and tutus and those awful plastic high heels that make me terribly nervous because they just look dangerous. Anyway, it shocked me with my first how differently he was treated when people thought he was a girl. Even as young ass 18 mos. It's disturbing really. I remember being at a big family Christmas at my aunt's house. My cousins had done this dance team thing for basically their whole childhoods, so my aunt had lots of amazing leotards and tutus. As my boy was dancing around the house, one of my adult male cousins came and asked me if I was really going to let him run around like that. Eyebrows raised with the triple dog dare eye glare. "Yes, yes I am." It's so bizarre to me that people care about gender or sexuality. Like what a dumb thing to get your panties in a twist about. Let the kid be and wear and play with whatever they want. I feel so over it. Anyway! This is an awesome project! My daughter is brewing up a project that is different but a similar theme. I hope to be revealing more about it soon!!!
