I see it more as bucking culture. Let's put our children through hell and see who they blame for it, us or society.
There's no problem not conforming and trying to stand out amongst your peers, as long as it's your decision and not your parents. I heard the kid doesn't understand why he's being called a girl but the parents won't help him unless he asks for specifics ie cut hair, guidance on what cloths a boy should wear etc.. (note: I didn't read that, someone told me that so it could be from a different story) If that's the case they're just being selfish fools. .
