What's bizarre is the fact that this is a thing at all. 3 year old toddlers should be learning new words, and learning right from wrong, not being mixed up about - am I really a boy...
It's sick honestly. It should be looked at as child abuse.

What if it was a gender-neutral kid that didn't fit in with the other pre-schoolers?
We like to think things are so cut and dry, but my neighbors down the street have a pair of boys, ages 5-8 (I'm assuming - they both look young AF) and both of them wear exclusively girl clothes and when they play with my next door neighbor's kids they act seriously feminine. But the parents encourage it - so who cares. Not my kids.
3 years does seem young but kids have no concept of gender-normal behavior, if a boy knows he likes wearing girls leggings with PINK across the butt and he isn't afraid of being a social outcast in school who cares? Do you want to encourage your kids to be who they are and be happy or do you want to punish them until you can beat the gay out of them?
