Yeah, a bowel movement.
'Who the hell was I to tell him another way?' he writes....But ultimately he came to realize that the most important thing was the boy's happiness
I guess if he wants to eat nothing but candy and ice cream every meal, stay up till 1:00 AM each night, play in the street, etc., that would all be peachy keen, so long as he's happy?
Doesn't he mean why he finally bought his son a dress? Unless the then-four-year-old had a job or his own source of income.
This "man" is one sick person. He deserves to have his son taken away way more than many other parents, like say those ones that named their son Adolf or whatever, that do.
Child abuse
His son was four years old the day that Mr Zalkow, carrying him home from daycare, worked up the courage to take him dress-shopping

One important parenting test is how you handle your 5-yr-old boy telling others on the plane how his penis tickles when there is turbulence.

First solo flight with the kid... and his princess coloring book...
As I posted almost exactly two years ago (is there some liberal with a checklist “Annually, late in May, publish another article supporting transgender disorder as normal in very young boys”):

I’m not willing to stipulate, not even for the sake of argument, that the proper treatment for a mental illness is to reinforce the delusion. I had a son who decided at a young age that he was a puppy. That’s a fun game for a few hours, one that I’m sure many parents have dealt with, but it lasted more than a day. Rather than getting him a collar and a doggy dish and being completely supportive of a permanent identity change, perhaps even demanding that others call my son “Spot”, I got the other kids ice cream. “Puppies don’t eat ice cream, you know.” It only took a little over an hour of things puppies don’t do before we heard the last doggie whimper and my son decided he’d rather be a boy.
I would not amputate the leg of a child with “body image identity disorder” (a real disorder in which people want a body part removed). Any decent person and even many democrats would recognize amputation in that context as child abuse and medical malpractice. Why do the genitals get special politically correct treatment when it comes to this mental illness? As an adult, I recognize the difference between an adult and a child, and I would not permit someone under 18 to make irreversible decisions or even long-term decisions of this nature about their own lives. If there are psychologists, psychiatrists, and surgeons sick enough to mutilate adults with this mental illness, or to support that mutilation, I can’t stop them. I will not, however, support the abuse of mentally ill children in the name of political correctness.
My little boys were also drawn to blingy princess dresses. But I realized what they loved was the sparkle, not the dress. I got them dress-up clothes like pirates, etc (with lots of sparkle!). Result: Happy boys! I wish more parents realized that most kids are just attracted by glitz.
Pathetic disgusting cretinous child abusing failure who deserves to be struck down.
Child abuse by a mind-mangled LIB idiot. Poor kid...looks for guidance from a LIB. Bad judgement at an early age.
Over and over for years my daughter did not want to hold my hand in parking lots so eventually I gave and let her just run around and...
Are you Effing kidding me? This blithering idiot would be better off with the millstone because eternity is not going to be pleasant.
I’m A Boy - The Who
(Pete Townshend)
One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally Joy
The other was me, and I’m a boy
My name is Bill and I’m a headcase
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend ages taking hairpins from my hair
Chorus 1
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But if I say I am I get it
Put your frock on Jean Marie
Plait your hair Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally Joy
Put this wig on, little boy
Chorus 1
I wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the stream
Cut myself and see my blood
I wanna come home all covered in mud
Chorus 2
I’m a boy, I’m a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a boy, I’m a boy, I’m__ a__ boy__

How about the boy's sanity? Or his soul? Do those enter the equation anywhere?
Okay, some common sense, here.
Starting in the 1960s, with experiments duplicated in the 1980s, scientists established that *psychologically*, gender is determined about halfway through fetal gestation.
That is, by default, the brains of mammal fetuses are female. But halfway through gestation, the testes of a male fetus secrete a small amount of testosterone that travels to their brain and tells it that it is a male brain. If that testosterone does not arrive, it remains a female brain.
Importantly, brain gender is enough in *animals* to determine sexual behavior. BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO DO SO IN HUMANS.
If a female fetus gets that testosterone, the child will be physically female, but will behave like a “tomboy”, enjoying masculine behavior. BUT IT WILL NOT DETERMINE HER SEXUALITY. She may be a tomboy, but it is just as likely that she it heterosexual and attracted to boys, as it is with ordinary girls.
And the same is true with boys. If something interferes with or inhibits the testosterone going to their brains, they will exhibit female child interests. They will want to play with dolls, dress in a feminine fashion, and do other things that girls like to do.
BUT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WILL NOT BECOME HOMOSEXUALS.
Statistically, they are just as likely to be heterosexuals as are all boys as a whole.
Importantly, most homosexuality and heterosexuality does not begin in childhood, but adolescence, so completely different biological mechanisms are involved.
Boys act like boys, and girls like girls, so most people *assume* that this behavior determines their sexual attraction. But this is NOT the case.
Homosexuals of both genders divide into camps, the “pink (feminine) and blue (masculine)”, and among men, there might be an even divide between feminine and masculine (even excessively masculine) homosexuals.
That is, male oriented gay bars are almost evenly divided between those with feminine orientation, and those that look like “blue collar” bars, filled with working men in construction, police and fire departments, bikers, etc. Somewhat “hyper-masculine” in behavior.
So, the bottom line is that juvenile gender behavior is NOT a good indicator of sexuality. This boy who wants to wear dresses will likely grow up to be a normal heterosexual.
Mental illness is not a “true identity”
It takes a Village “Idiot”.
Since G-d told man not to dress as a woman, & vice versa, I assume this is not his will.
