Part of me really wants to congratulate the boys parents for being so accepting and nurturing of the boy, but another part of me is wondering if they're being naive. He'll have to leave the safety and security of his family one day, and when he gets to fifth, sixth, seventh grade, and if he's still into wearing dresses, I wonder how he'll be treated by his peers. Kids that age can be brutal.

It's gonna go beyond just peers his own age. If he keeps on wearing dresses in public, he will have adults (relatives, other parents, neighbors, teachers, strangers) making comments and possibly giving him a hard time too. I don't know exactly how they're approaching this, but him wearing dresses should be done with a certain understanding that what's ok in doors around the family isn't necessarily gonna be dealt with nicely outside.
There's another thread about kids in nudist situations. Same for nudist families who have kids and have to explain to them community standards.Chris wrote:

Nice way to put it; I agree. lol But since when is the news media ever balanced? They focus on sports obsession and you're a freak if you don't give a fack who wins the superbowl.Supernova wrote:Forgiveness_Man wrote:Nah, I should call and tell the press I don't like watching sports.
That's actually not a bad idea if you think about it, FM. The news goes on all the time about sports, the sports players, the sports games, the sports scores, they SHOULD have something on there that focuses on the anti-sports people of the world.
