Guess what? Kids are kids. Sure, some of these kids will grow up to be gay, trans, gender queer. Some will grow up to be straight, adhering to the most stereotypical gender roles. For now, they are kids. Last time I checked, nail polish and mohawks are means of expression, not requirements of any sex or gender identity. Good parents will be supportive, listen to their kids, and attempt not to force rigid social norms onto their boys who want to wear heels or their daughters who want mohawks.
Boys can be boys and wear nailpolish. Girls can be girls, play football and have spiked hair. ( I should know)
Let's go ahead and get over ourselves, maybe stop forcing our neuroses onto our kids. Boys Will Be Boys? Not in These Families.By Jan Hoffman
