[h=1]Mom defends her 3-year-old child’s right to wear tutus — ‘The world may not love my son for who he is, but I do’ [/h][FONT="]
My 5-year-old niece likes to wear her daddy's work boots. She kept falling over so my brother bought her a pair of her own. Is there any difference between that and this little boy who loves tutus?
And even if you believe that kids should wear 'gender-appropriate' clothing, whatever that is, is it okay for someone to confront parent and child and forcefully express disapproval?

“My three-and-a-half-year-old son likes to play trucks. He likes to do jigsaw puzzles. He likes to eat plums. And he likes to wear sparkly tutus,” Jen Anderson Shattuck wrote on Facebook. “If asked, he will say the tutus make him feel beautiful and brave. If asked, he will say there are no rules about what boys can wear or what girls can wear.”
