Q:
My son is convinced he is a girl.
Hi, my son goes by the name of barina the girl he is 5 year old. At first I thought this was a phase but now I am not too sure. It's been going on for 3 years now him thinking he is a girl. He is so confused and started being naughty. I think it's because he is so frustrated that he is a boy and not a girl. It's so hard to recognize whether it's just a phase or not because he is only five years old. His behavior at school is controlled but at home he is violent and don't know whether it's adhd or trans gender issues. I have been fighting to get him tested since he was 2 years old and still fighting now. Finally and hope fully camms will be in involved when I take my son's child support worker with me. He watches me put make up on he tells me what to wear and he always wears my clothes. He will only play with girls and he wants to marry a boy. He sleeps in my clothes and puts a t-shirt on his head for hair. The kids outside make fun of him and I tell him to only play in the back garden dressed as a girl. I have now though just let him play in the front because I don't see why my son should hide. He wants to go to dancing class. Do you think it's just a phase or not? There's no time when my son doesn't wanna be a girl. He wears boys trousers and he says it's his tights. He says if he ever gets boys stuff for Christmas he will bin them. He puts his boys toys from last year in the bin.
