National Let Your Boy Be a Girl Day

There are many problems with this article(the Bechdel test? ugh) and I disagree on a whole with the author.

What we should have is a "Let your boy be a girl day" wherein we actually let boys act like girls. We do not force it upon them. If a boy wants to put on a dress that is fine. But we should not tell him to put on a dress which is what the author of this piece would do.

To many people tell boys what they should do, what they should like and the author of this post is just as guilty of it.

Boys and men should be free to do the things she mentioned but not be told they should do it.

But the larger issue that this article's author avoids is not society telling boys and men what to do. It is the government and laws which denigrate men and boys and deny them their human rights.

That is what we need to fix.

I think its pretty great that they're doing this.

1) Letting your child explore their gender identity is a good idea. If they end up being trans it saves them years and years of pain and shame! A+!

2) Its raising very good points regarding the unacceptability of men to act feminine vs. women acting masculine! Showing how the patriarchy hurts men & women! Excellent idea!
