first, this isn't mud, but yes it's an ae.
i
don't even know how to say this, but i've been dressing ds2 up as a
girl when i take him out b/c i want to know what it's like to have a
dd. he's our last, so i know i'll never have a dd and experience that.
i really enjoy dressing him in pink and bows. i even call him by
another name when i'm out with him. i keep telling myself i'm not doing
any real harm b/c he's too young to know what i'm doing. am i crazy?
I am not sure it will hurt the kid? I do think the mom needs a check up from the neck up though.

Oh my.
She's definitely got a screw or two loose.
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
Bat.***.Crazy.
I read somewhere where Ernest Hemingway's mother always wanted twin girls, so when she had a singleton girl, she got pregnant right away again and had Ernest. who she proceeeded to dress as a girl, right down to Shirley Temple-like banana curls, till he was 8. And told everyone he and his older sister were twin girls.
Also, there is a differencebetween gender and sex. And I'll add that my MIL thinks I need to 'come to terms' with Joaquin being a girl because I like putting her in jeans and khakis. Even if it's with frilly pink shirts, apparently. Meh.
I do think that Mud is screwed up, but I think there's something to discuss here beyond what a headcase she is.
Yeah, the kid'll be fine. Mom, however, wow.
I personally don't get how a kid's gender changes the experience of raising them so drastically. Honestly, I don't really think that it should - particularly prepuberty. I've seen my sister struggle with major gender identity issues because a combination of her own sexuality and our mom's constant misogynism, so I get particularly stabby about putting so much importance of gender.
