10/29 Gender Confused Children
Quote From: systoleMy nephew was very confused growing up, and he loved to dress as a girl. He played with dolls and he had few friends because of his secret obsession with Barbie dolls. In his mind he knew this was not acceptable among other people so would pretend he was buying them for his sister.
He is very clever, but had a hard time adjusting to normal life and spent a great deal of time doing things with his mother, who he was very close to. After a few years of trying to go to normal school and a couple of suicide attempts, I now hear that at 18 he believes he is gay. I have not seen him in a few years, but I do not think he is gay. I think that he is confused about all his life and he thinks this is an easier route. I do not know if he has had sexual gay relationships, or this is what he believes he wants.
I do believe that his life of confusion has led him to be very unhappy, and his home life had a great deal to do with this confusion I don't think he is anymore confused about his gender than you are about yours. These children know who they are inside the fact that there are troubles at home does not cause ones gender. Look at your life you didn't come from a "normal family" and you don't seemed to be confused about what gender you identify is.
