[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 406523, member: 1169"] BrainGoBoom & BugsDaddy, Eeyore had a diagnosis of Gender Identity Disorder as a 5 year old. Like you, it didn't bother me if he wanted to wear girl clothes. Heck, in his life before we got him all of the men were either violent or lazy and the women kept the children safe and fed --- who wouldn't want to be a women in that case? On the first day of kindergarten, he went straight to the dress up box and put on a wedding dress, high heels and a tiara and left it on the whole day. He was the prettiest kindergartner in the building :rofl: That is now a treasured family story. At 15, it is now pretty clear that he is feminine but heterosexual and I think a huge part of his mental health improvement was our acceptance of his exploration of who he was and whoever he would become.
