I had girlfriend's too, but....
Quote From: kissmyaceI know most of this is about the lesbian girl, but I want to say something about the 4 year old boy that acts like a girl, a little advice if any of you have a boy that acts the same way. Well, I'm only 14, but I have a younger brother that's 11 years old and when he was around 3 or 4 years old, he was exactly the same way. He would go into my closet and get my dresses and put them on and he wore high heels. He had a blanket that had a little pocket-like thing that he would put on his head, making it look like he had long hair. And whenever I had my mom paint my fingernails, he'd come and want his painted, too. I remember one time where my dad said "how about we paint your toes instead?" because then you would't be able to see them since he wears tennis shoes. He would argue and say he wanted his fingernails painted, but I don't think my dad ever agreed, but if he did, he took it off soon after. I remember my mom getting irritated, probably cause she was also worried about him becoming gay. She isn't homophobic, but she feels the same as the lesbians mom and sister do: that being gay goes against God's word. I know my brother admitted to wanting to be a girl and he liked to play with my barbies (also pulling off their heads) and seemed to act like a young girl rather than a young boy. I HIGHLY doubt that any of you should worry if you see these actions in your little boy. My brother is 11 and he's had 2 girlfriends (yeah, I was really surprised cause he doesn't seem like much of a "girl magnet") and shows no signs of being gay. He makes jokes about it, but I know he's not. As Dr.Phil said, it's probably just a phase. Take his advice and don't worry about it. I know that I was worried, even though I was 7 or 8, but honestly, it's just a phase. I hope that hearing my story has relieved you and let you know that things will most likely work out ok. I had girlfriends too but guess what... It was a cover up because of all the pressure to be straight. I'm 27 and have known I've been gay since I was 6 - before I even knew much about sex at all.
