7 Year Old Crossdresser

This is for a local news station contest. I think it's hilarious, some might think it's just plain wrong.

I think its wrong. If your kid wants go get dressed up & sing & dance. GREAT! .. but don't film it & put it on the internet for the whole world to see & ridicule.
Don't you think in the next few yrs this 7 yr old will be ashamed of his Hannah Montana act that his mom put on the internet.
Don't you think that when his classmates see it / find it they will harass him non-stop til he goes to college, then when he goes to college, someone will post it around the school & the cycle of abuse will continue.
Its not healthy to embarrass your kid, even if you think its cute & even if he thinks its fun. Don't post it on the internet!
Rudeness is the weak person's imitation of strength.

wow. I hope I don't regret it but I doubt if he'll be embarrassed since he does "live" shows for his friends now, only without the props. And I sure hope that if this video is around when he is in college that he is attending the finest college of Performing Arts in the State. Thanks for your comments though. I really do appreciate your thoughts. I'm really not a bad mom, it's just that I don't know what to do with him anymore, I have been holding him back for so long...telling him that he can't be "what he wants to be" when all of a sudden it occurred to me that I have no right to that. I don't have that right. He is 7 years old, at the age of reason. I am a very strict disciplinarian, but I cannot stop his dreams of singing and dancing. This video is only a contest, but given the opportunity, he would tap dance and sing his way through life. I'm exhausted. I've already raised 2 girls (his sisters are young adults)...boys are different, boys are harder, boys are strange

Kids are strange, not just boys.
I don't see a problem with it.

I just fear what will happen when he gets a few yr older. Kids are cruel, don't feed them ammunition.

please know that I have had the same fear for years, since the first time he put on a pair of my high heels and pranced around with a play feather boa, imitating pictures he had seen of Marilyn Monroe. I have been "hiding" this for so long now and I suppose making him feel like there is something wrong with him. I can't do it anymore. I appreciate your input so much, and you are right, I will not feed him ammunition, but I I just can't hold him back any longer. I'm not sure if anyone realizes how difficult this is, I mean to accept the fact that your kid doesn't act "normal". I know, I know, who's to say, what is normal. Sorry, just babbling.
Does anyone here have a little boy, or even a grown up boy that has gone through this? If it makes a difference, and I think it makes a BIG difference, he tells me he really wants to be a girl.

My son is 27 and no, I didn't have that problem with him. But if this is what makes him happy and this is just naturally how he is, then I don't see the point in trying to hold him back. But I do agree that dealing with would be difficult.
And a lot of female impersonators are not gay, Bi, trans, want to be a girl or anything else, except entertainers.

thanks hippie...that's just what I am doing, letting him be how and what he naturally wants to be, I just can't figure out what it is! I didn't know about the female impersonator stuff though, I just thought (ignorant) they were all gay. By the way, my daughters are just a little younger than your son. Hey, was that you the vampire in your Halloween picture??? If it was (must not have been?) you look too too young to have an adult child of 27. Wow, nobody ever tells me that I look too young to have daughters that age. As a matter of fact, all I ever hear is, oh what an adorable GRANDson you have...gee thanks. And in case anyone is thinking of having a baby a little later in life, let me just give you a word of warning....it's a heck of a lot harder to push when your're in your 40's. yyyoouchh!

I don't see anything wrong with it .. and just because he is dressed up like Hannah and imitating her doesn't mean his gay! And if he was, there could be worse things in life he could be .. right?
I am agreeing with Hippie on this one.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them. Distance and time may separate us but friendship and memories won't.

LOL! Yeah, the vampire was me. My DD is 6 now, and when my son came to visit us last fall, everyone asked if she was his daughter.
And I wouldn't worry overmuch, he probably doesn't know what he wants right now either.
And look at Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie' and Robin Williams in "Mrs. Doubtfire'. They both did great jobs impersonating women.
But society, in general, has so many double standards still. If I impersonate Marilyn Manson, most would probably find it funny, but if a guy does a woman's role, they started questioning his masculinity.

Oh wow, I hope I didn't say anything that made it seem like I was upset because I "thought" my son was gay (which would be an ignorant observation on my part anyway since he is only 7). And I'd jave to say htat you not be more right, there are a heck of lot of things in life that are worse. Actually, I feel bad even saying "worse", since I wouldn't consider him or anyone else being gay in the same category as things that could be gauaged as worse. (I feel like Seinfeld, "not that there's anything wrong with that...")
Now you have me wondering though, and perhaps I will do some research...when do children learn sexual identity? Or is this something learned in adolescence? adulthood? Maybe some people never learn or choose to never accept their sexual identity or preference. Whoa Mistywolf, you have caused a whole slew of thinking for me now....Is there anyone one here that is gay that can PM me and help. Nah, never mind, I'll start my private little research and leave you guys alone, but I do appreciate so much the comments thus far.
