Being yourself can be hard – especially if you are a little boy who doesn’t like what society says you should like.
Little girls who like to play ball and climb trees don’t get judged as harshly. When they’re little, they’re allowed, encouraged even. Being a “tomboy” is socially acceptable.for a little boy who likes “girl” things — nothing positive, anyway. Society doesn’t like it when little boys like princesses and the color pink.
And each time, the question has made me cringe. “No. Boys can wear pink and purple too. Anybody who wants to can wear pink and purple. Daddy’s football team wears purple, right? And they’re all boys.”And I hug him tight and wish I could stop the world from barging in on this boy and his favorite things.
Ultimately, this decision will hurt us both. His innocence will be shattered one day, and when that happens, my mother’s heart will be shattered too. But I believe it will hurt far less than teaching him to hate who he is and how he feels.
