I have no children.

I do recall when my nephew was 3, he LOVED a pink, sparkly purse. He would take it with him everywhere. They also had a blue sparkly purse but he wasn't interested in it. Over time, he has been innundated with social norms at school and has zero interest in anything "GIRLY". He is now 7.

To the OP: If my child wanted to wear girly things (girl or boy), I wouldn't have any problems with it. I am pretty sure I wouldn't purchase him any clothing that screamed female, but if someone gave us some or his sister wanted to share, that's fine. It really depends on the motivation, though. If I saw he wanted to do it just to get attention at school, I find this motivation destructive and would not permit such behavior. I cannot stand for attention whores.
