One mother, more recently, said that her son knew he was transgender at 18 months old. He wanted to wear his older sister’s dresses, and play with her dolls. Well, duh! Your son loved his older sister and was emulating her. That’s completely normal. I have two older brothers, sometimes I emulated them. It never meant that I was actually a little boy. Thank God my parents never considered that, and just let me use my imagination.

I have heard other parents say that their little girl is transgender, because she hates the color pink, and never plays with barbies. She loves cars, Legos, and the color blue.

Since when do your interests define your gender? It’s utterly ridiculous. Some girls are tomboys, and some boys are a bit more effeminate. Girls are still girls, and boys are still boys. Stop complicating facts.
