Uhhh. That comic sure seemed like the mother was supporting what Peter wanted. "Play with whatever you want" and "sure if you like it" does not at all sound the same as "Peter mommy wanted a girl instead of a boy. You must hide your penis because that is shameful. You have to wear a dress because that's what girls wear and that's what I wanted instead of you."
Regarding the debate on trans people, I think it's really dumb for mums to push clothes, toys on their kids etc. one of my best friends is a straight guy who wore dresses as a little kid. Why does it really matter?
I agree. My brother used to wear dresses all the time when he was a kid. Now he's been married to his wife for 8 years, has two kids, and is one of the manliest men I've come across. I also used to be a huge tomboy when I was little, and now all I ever want to wear is dresses. I don't understand what the big deal is either. The clothes your kid wants to wear or the toys they want to play with aren't necessarily going to carry through with them to adulthood, and even if it does, who cares? Just let your kid be a kid.
Idk as kids we sometimes do shit that we regret later on. For example I just saw pics of six year old me in a dress and I severely wish I didn't.

I played with dolls and trucks growing up. I loved playing sports and wearing boy's clothes, but also dancing ballet and braids in my hair. Born a girl, still a straight girl 22 years later. Your choices in entertainment and clothing don't dictate your gender or sexual preferences. Its just about what you find fun to play with and what clothes are comfy
I like you.
I lived the same way. We had little money so I had to make due with whatever toys I had: barbies, toy cars, dolls, guns, dirt and rocks. I wore whatever clothing I felt comfortable in and not once did my mom tell me "no that's for boys". I'm not straight tho, bisexual. But my preference in entertainment, clothing, attitude, or anything that's usually labels as for girls or boys had nothing to do with my sexual preference.
As I am now, I don't care much for many girly things and my mom doesn't really get that.
I play around like my brothers, I like more boyish things, and I burp a lot they're like, big manly burps. Bit that's because I grew up with my brothers and a boyish sister(she got it from them) and a dad who took me fishing a lot and I had to learn to hook things and not be scared to do things like hooking things and gutting fish
I feel you. I grew up with more guy friends then girls friends.it was an awkward transition from elementary school to middle school because in elementary I was a "Tom boy" where as in middle school I tried being more "feminine". I soon realized that my real friends gave no crap if i was more on the boyish or girlish side.I eventually just got more comfortable with who I am. Be it more manly or feminine.

K, HOW ARE YOU SO LIKE ME
Also, I always wanted to be just a little bit girly. Maybe a few sparkles here or there. Just a little. That's not easy to say to people who are tough and not as girly as you think.
I was raised an only child with a very attentive dad and a slightly-absent mom, so I spent more time fishing, grilling and hunting that doing things with my mom and I actually turned out pretty girly still (I'm crazy into alternative fashion) and I'm pan so i don't think it does much but give you more experience in life. Like my best friend is a guy who grew up with 4 sisters and all the straight girls in my school love him because he gets all the girly stuff and knows his way around a makeup box.
When I was 5 I think I dressed once in my sisters clothing and my dad took a picture and everyone was laughing.Saw that picture later life and still regret it.If I had a son I wouldn't take dolls from him because dolls are freaking awesome but to be honest I wouldn't want my son to wear dresses.He is just a child and I don't want him to be bullied and suffer.If later in life when he grows up and stills wants to wear it then it's fully acceptable because he is my son and I love him but as a child some things just have to be banned.And don't bash on me like I'm an asshole because I'm saying this.

I know you are protecting your future son, and I like that. I feel like you should do this.
I dont. I've noticed a lot of comments about how children were made fun of for the femine clothing choices they made as children. ( mostly by thr own family ) Causing regret/shame inside of their choises. I feel as if that type of attitudes make children/adults focus on what others feel and not what makes them happy.
Honestly. People can laugh at almost every decision made in your life. Is that going to make you live less?? ( Don't fall into the shame trap. Teach children to rise above the careless guilt/shame others intentionally or unintentionally place opon them. Guilt and shame is not natural to a child.
