Oh please. My boy played with dolls, wore his mothers scarves and loved show tunes. He grew out of it and now he dates the hottest girl in school.

Kids grow out of these things. It’s the parents who need to be locked away.

I couldn't help but notice that the child's mother seems to be enjoying the notoriety.

The boy should have been removed from the home when they named him "Jazz".

Surely your son still loves good music!!!

You're so right. We were bless with three girls. Two of the three went though a stage where they pretended they were boys. My youngest even cut her hair short, wanted her own hand tools and belt and followed Dad around like a little shadow doing household repairs. It was actually very handy because she could fit into places where Dad couldn't reach.

I have to admit a little disappointment one day when she decided she was a girl, though I knew it was coming. She's now a great Mom with two of the cutest little grandsons anybody could ask for. And that tool training has come in awfully handy.

I'll bet you that Jazz's parents were more than a few cards short a deck.

Children are very good at imitation of behavior that they see around them. This is a great learning and survival trait. It keeps them running until proper hormones start kicking in - and then they change.

It is mighty stupid to draw any conclusions whatsoever from an opinion of a little kid. He or she has no clue what it is to be a boy or a girl, outside of purely external decorations like clothes or games. But if you keep treating a boy like a girl, he *will* start acting like a girl - he has not enough hormones yet to influence his behavior. Some parents could treat children like that, even without ill intent, if they wanted a child of the opposite sex.
