My daughter likes being a boy
At age 6, she goes topless at the pool -- and it makes certain men "uncomfortable"

Dear Cary,

I have three children, ages 16, 7 and 6. Two years ago, my youngest child, let's call her "Sue," found a box of her teenage brother's old clothes. She started wearing them, told me she was a boy, and even gave herself a boy's name. This was soon followed by haircuts รก la Fiskars.

I took her to get her hair properly cut short and she was very happy.

Over the past two years, she has gone back and forth between being a girl and being a boy.

This was a good article and good advice for a change.
