6 year old boy wearing dresses?
54% Normal
31 Comments

Hi guys, I just have kind of a problem with my little cousin who is six years old. Recently, I went and visited some of my family members back in Missouri. So here's what happens upon arriving there. We step inside the house and the first thing I notice is a little boy wearing a dress, I didn't know what to think at first. First I asked myself, is this kid related to me? Because, I haven't seen this part of my family in probably like 4 or 5 years so it's been awhile since I've talked to them or seen any of them before. So I later find out this kid is my cousin.

I asked my mother, "Are they serious? Why's that kid wearing a dress, mom?"

She just said, "Oh, he's just playing don't worry about it"

I don't know about this guys, I think this might be a sign that this little cousin of mine may be gay, what do you guys think?
Do you think it's normal?

A close male relative will definitely abuse him sexually

Little boys do odd things, its just how they are lol. It may not mean anything about his sexuality and he will most likely grow out of it. After all he is only 6. =p

hes only 6! give him a break.
i would say this is just a phase some kids go through and he will most likley grow out of it.
but if he doesn't... who cares as long as hes happy?

Kids just wear whatever's put in front of them, they don't really care what gender it's for.

I wouldn't worry about it. Kids at that age are still unfamiliar with gender roles, and they certainly don't understand "gay" or even "straight". Make-believe is a very common practice with children and phases come and go all the time.
I think it's a good thing that his parents are allowing him to play so freely. They can see it's not hurting anyone.

LMAO. I can't believe you actually think he's gay. This reminds me of that movie called "The Hot Chick" where that little boy wears his sisters and moms heels and dresses and puts on lipstick. ahaha. I love that movie!!!

Actually I do remember one of my childhood friends brothers at 8 told us he liked boys and thought something was wrong with him, he was dead serious. Now he's gay and happily married to one of his highschool teachers. TRUE STORY!

My brother used to wear my grammas costume jewlery all the time when he was that age, he grew out of it, and is NOT gay, but who cares if he was. He just liked the fact that he got to do something that his sisters got to do.

I knew a girl who dressed up like a boy since she was a kid and now she pretends to every new person she meets that is actually a man. I would dub her not normal.

his family should send the boy to a very tough boarding school, that should man him up a bit.

After that, they should force him to enlist in the armed forces, and tell him that if he doesn't volunteer for the most dangerous assignments, he shouldn't bother coming home, as his family won't love him anymore.

that should turn him into a man.

Rule no. one: trust the mother. She cares about the kid more than you could comprehend.

If he's dressing in women's clothes, he's probably either A: just playing or B: transsexual/transgender

It doesn't matter though, as long as you love him nonetheless

I think it's nice that he refuses to accept society's pre-defined conceptions of what a gender is or should be. The world's always tryin to put people in boxes: Girls like dolls, boys like trucks - girls like pink, boys like blue". It's all nonsense, brainwashing by the media. Let him be a free spirit. I dressed up as a girl when i was a kid and i'm awesome.

TOTALLY NORMAL. It doesn't necessarily mean he's gay at all.

Yes, it is normal. So are all forms of non-abusive sexuality. Gender judgments on clothing/dress or any other judgments on gender are based on cultural biases, which is not healthy. Society and it's expectations is what is abnormal...not the choice of clothing made by a six year old. Let nature in all it's diversity be. Celebrate differences and respect each other. Only then will we all be normal. Accept diversity.

at that age boys and girls aren't that different anyway, he'll probably grow out of it

You people don't even have a fucking clue of what you're talking about.
That goexs for everyone that commented ABOVE.
Look,I once had a male friend called chris.
He used to live near my house.
He once put on some girly flower pants.
Her mother left him wear it.
He's now gay.
He was 6 years old when he started doing that.
He's gay with a moustache.
Laugh.
Yes,this is true.

This is real normal. Apparently my older brother did the same thing. Now, he's happily married, with a beautiful wife and four lucky kids.

Don't worry 'bout it. they grow out of it

Lmfao PoolToy. Just lmfao.

Anyway, your cousin seems a little odd. I have a feeling that he's going to be a pre-op transsexual by the time he turns 21. Smh.

He wants to be/thinks he's a girl. Possibly due to trauma. It has nothing to do with homosexuality though.

Supposedly he likes the feeling of having his legs exposed to the air. I'm guessing he likes the draft?

Little kids just like dressing up funny. I have these picture of me as a kid wearing nothing but pantyhose. On my legs, arms, head, tied around my waste... it was just a silly dress up game! I probably haven't worn a single pair of pantyhose in my life since then.

I think his parents had it right. Let him be. He may be normal and straight or normal and gay. What's the problem?

This child is 6. If what a 6-year-old does is a proper testament to who they will become as an adult, we'd have a lot more crayon-eating bed-wetting running-into-traffic adults than we do as of now. Relax.

the mother should force the kid to stop otherwise he might be a fag later in life, and that would just be horrible.
