We're approaching Christmas which usually brings together present buying, memories of past Christmas's and social gatherings that for me involves being with relatives at parties.
The thing I really loath about these times is not being able to dress in accordance with how I feel that either for me bypasses gender identify issues as I know some girls don't enjoy being forced into very girlie clothing too.
Personally I feel you should be able to wear what you feel most comfortable in and at a similar age to these two boys I too would of loved to had been able to wear a skirt to our parties.
