  well my personal things about this is that Sherri is correct to say that she does not want her child to wear a dress. I think that it is her choice to raise her child the way she sees fit. Now I don”t think that she should stop the creative thinking process of her child. She just need to set clear boundaries.

  I”m a little up in arms on this issue. I agree with Sherri and her view on raising her child her “way” - However, I”ve seen specials where the children were more confused because the parents would not let them choose their “gender”. I guess the problem I have is…Is Sherri’’s decision based on her “parental” ways of what’’s right and wrong in her household or is it because she doesn”t want her son to be considered “gay” or “feminine” (transgender)

  The quote that got me is this “…you can be transgender when you get OUT the house.”

  Aiight I feel you on that quote that she used but I just belive that a Man should always be a Man. I don”t think that she has a problem with her child being gay, it becomes a problem when he wants to put on dresses and wear female
  clothing. I know that there are a many great cross dresser and tansexuals in this world but as a parent with a male child you should rasie your child to become a Man. Now whatever his sexual perference is that up to him to experence and as a parent you should be open the the different possibilities that brings. Just My Thoughts

  sexual identification is inate - you are born with it - it’’s in your DNA… your sexuality evolves and hopefully in a home enviorment that is not too extreme…

  in general, a child unconciously gravitates to what is appealing to them, be it the Barbie or the GI Joe, regardless of their gender… Preventing, punishing, berating, etc., any child based on what feels natural to them creates confusion, conflict and spills over into the other areas of psychological development . The resulting behaviors usually occur after puberty, and for the children who were not unconditionally loved because of this issue, are now greatly challlenged and adapt poorly to intimacy based relationshipsto poorly adeptfaced

  Depending on the enviorment in which they were raised, those in conflict do things that are counterintuative to who they really are, and it’’s usally family pressure, religion, or social pressures that place some in the closet, others suicidal, or marrying the opposite sex for all the wrong reasons.

  Sherry Sheppard is as smart as a brick. I”ve watched her enough now to have that opinion. She seems rigid and controlling when she speaks about life at home w/ her children,
  and on the show she lacks the wisdom of Whoppie, the empathy of Joy and makes whatz her name, the blond on maternity , seem less conservative and with some common sense.
  who hides a lot she comes across as angry
