Is Cross Dressing a Sign of Transgender Behaviour

what is wrong with a boy who wants to wear a skirt skirts are nice to wear they swing around your legs and feel great when out walking.

no one cares if a girl wears a boys pair of pants that she likes they dont think it is wrong just becous she is a girl.

just becouse a boy wants to wear a skirt does not mean he wants to be a girl i have loved wearing skirts since i was very young and now in my mid 50s i still like to wear a skirt but i have no ideas about wanting to be a girl i like being a man and want to stay that way.

i have gone through a stage in life when i thought i have to try to pass as a woman to be able to wear a skirt but i realised i dident like it i just want to be a man in a skirt i dont care what people think everyone who knows me knows i like skirts as i wear them most of the time i am not working they feel great much better than pants trying to squash everything and making you all sweaty.

if you dont want to show him that he has to accept sex discrimination for all his life then allow him to wear what he likes tell him some people willl want to laugh at him but that is becouse they are very narrow minded and ther is nothing wrong with the way he wants to dress.

Short answer: Not usually. Wanting to wear skirts at a young age is simply an exercise in one's curiousity and it should not be discouraged as it creates an unnatural shame towards acting the least bit feminine and having empathy towards females.

Long answer: It may be. It may not be. It all depends on the child's gender identity, which may or may not differ from his or her body sex (i.e. sexual organs). If your child tells you that he or she wants to be a member of the opposite sex, it is likely his or her gender identity settling in and you should let him or her try it out. If it is just curiousity, it will go away once the phase has reached it's natural end. However, if it persists, it is not a phase but rather an exercise of the child's true gender identity and they should be allowed to live as they are.

Remember that to do otherwise is not loving and is worse for the child than you can imagine. With puberty blockers and hormone therapy at a young age they will not have to go through so many obstacles that transgender adults have to go through if they transition in adulthood.

Cross dressing is not a definite sign of transgender behaviour. It may be the child's way of learning or it's just they're feminine/tomboy side that they're showing. And there is nothing you can do to correct it. And honestly, you can't suppress a child's expression of their self. If you strive to do that there are a few psychological disorders that may develop. It may get to as awful as the child being torn between behaving the way they are expected to and they way they want to. If your child shows signs of cross dressing I'm not saying you should encourage it, but you should support them. Because after all they're just being them self and as a parent you of all people should be able to accept their behaviors.
