I am fine with being female. As a child I wished I could be a boy because they could pee standing and didn't have to pull down their pants to go and they could go standing. But I played with action figures, cars, trucks, Mighty Max, video games including fighting games, played in the dirt, climbed trees, but I still played with girl stuff and wore girl clothes. My parents never did the gender stereotype crap so I was allowed to do boy things people may call it. But I was never transgender, I was just a tomboy. I never thought about being in the wrong body.
That's how we are with our daughter. She plays with action figures and dinosaurs, but also with Barbies, and we have absolutely no problem with that.

Nothing wrong with a girl being a tomboy. On the other hand, a boy playing with dolls is a bully target not to mention just plain disturbing....

A co-worker at the place I worked before becoming disabled had a young daughter who was a big fan of Spiderman and also was very interested in engineering. I was very heartened to find that her mother was being very encouraging to her daughter in engaging in these activities!

Your finding of the boy being disturbing is your problem, not the boy's. That the bullies target the boy for that is their fault and they should pay the consequences for it.
Personally, I would not find such a boy disturbing and would encourage him to pursue what interests him.

No, the boy that plays will the dolls will be the one that pays the consequences by being bullied.
That's life....

My daughter absolutely loves superheroes - but so does my wife (and me, for that matter), so that explains that.

This is what I CAN do to homophobes..
in REAL LIFE OF COURSE..
LOVE YA MAN..
930LBS OF KICK ASS BABY.. with a serving of "Four Five seconds from WILDIN' "
BULLIES DON'T STAND A CHANCE WITH ME IN REAL LIFE..
THEY scurry away with their 'tales' stuck between their legs..
Particularly homophobes.....
IN my EXPERIENCE THE ONLY REASON MALES ARE HOMOPHOBES is that they are afraid they themselves are actually gay.. and don't want to step out of the closet...
Otherwise there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO EITHER WORRY ABOUT OR BULLY FEMININE ACTING MALES ABOUT....
AND I HAVE NO PROBLEMS TELLING them that to their face if I see them doing the bullying thing...
All I have to do, if they DON'T LISTEN is show 'em this video, and MY 'BRUCE LEE STYLE' enLIGHTening FAST MOVES.. powered by kick ass legs..
That's kind of tongueIN-CHEEK, by a way, if you do not get the humor.....
Oh and by A way.. that T-shirt says "TRUST ME
I'M A NINJA"..
ONE OF MY MANY TITLES.. NAMED BY OTHER FOLKS..
YES.. I'VE BEEN CALLED A NINJA IN REAL LIFE.. TOO...
But I suppose it takes one to know one...
And i'm the only one i've met so far.. in real life..
So i'm not sure i can take 'their' word
FOR IT.

Yeah, I guess I forgot the obligatory two-paragraph teary-eyed diatribe on bullying and how we need to pass more laws, therefore giving cops (bullies) judges and prosecutors (bullies) and prison guards (bullies) more work.
How could I have been so remis?

Yes, but it still happens and will continue to. Best way to avoid it is not to be bully bait and to be able to take care of oneself....

What, a video of some guy doing leg presses on a machine? I learned to do leg presses the old fashioned way called squats with a barbell across the shoulders when I was 13.
Next....

I'm sorry if you ARE bullied horribly as a younger person.
The saddest part of all, is, more folks that are bullied becomes bullies than folks who are not bullied, per scientific research, ON THAT; specifically research on the Autism Spectrum, as well, indicates this finding.
And FBI research shows that most school spree shootings are perpetrated by young males who are chronically bullied.
So per the scientific evidence that exists, young folks WITH GUNS who are bullied, ARE A potential DANGEROUS COCKTAIL FOR POTENTIAL DEATH per potential victims, bullies or not.
Ironically enough, perhaps they should ban youth who are bullied from having guns....
I haven't heard that suggestion yet but for material reductionists who simply go by the facts of research, it would not surprise me at all, per the OFTEN narrow mindedness of THAT.

THAT SOMEONE IS ME.
AND no you did not do 930LBS in squats either, or leg presses for that matter, as I can do nearly twice as much as the next competing elite YOUNG Marine at my military gym.
And I do the Kung FU like stuff there, and it was a military specialist that compared me to a Kung Fu Expert on THAT.
