fuck yeah she did!
part of her blog's premise was that there's nothing "shameful" about X-dressing or faggotry.
so no harm done, if her opinion is sincerely offered...

Anyone want a 3 year old boy?
Posted: July 26, 2010 by Cop's Wife in slim/squirt, trials & tribulations
Sure, he looks super cute and his laugh melts hearts, but he’s turned into a bit of a… how shall I put it? Asshole.
He is in the thick of potty training and seems to hold it until he can pee all over something I really don’t want him to pee all over.
He screams “Goddamn!” while running amok through stores.
He runs into traffic giggling diabolically.
He gets out of his room a hundred times a night.
He tells the Detective that he doesn’t love him.
He’s added “What the hell?” to his list of things he says that are totally inappropriate.
He hides silently in the middle of clothing racks until we truly begin to thinks he’s been abducted.
He pours water out of the bathtub.
He steps into the toilet.
He dumps every single piece out of every single board game and puzzle that we own. Then stirs.
He unbuckles his car seat while we are driving.
He dumps out a Costco bag of Cheerios all over the house, tiny dust and all.
He tries to flush half a roll of toilet paper and giggles when it overflows.
He tries to clean up a poopy accident that results in just smearing it into several places in the carpet.
He does not follow any instructions. None.
He doesn’t like to get dressed. Or wear anything from the waist down.

Well, let's see. I click on a link that includes the text "/my-son-is-gay/". "MY SON IS GAY," the headline proclaims in big, bold, red letters. I'm confronted by a picture of the kid in his costume.
(Or he's not), whispers the first line of body text.
Even if she technically qualified her statement, this is a pretty fucked up thing to do.

Does she post the child's name anywhere on the blog? My concern is that you could google the child's name at some point in the future and this article would come up.
I'm pro-gay and my knee-jerk reaction to this article was very pro-kid and pro-mom, but I would hate to see the kid linked to this article and tormented by the bad people in this world.

Yes, that's her "point" and she's using her kid to make it. She doesn't think it should matter that his costume is "cross gender." Regardless of what actually happened, even the way SHE tells it is fucked up. She clearly got him all excited about this costume, then he didn't even want to wear it and she pressured him into it and escorted him into his school, all to make her little point. Look at what she writes:
Then as we got closer to the actual day, he stared to hem and haw about it. After some discussion it comes out that he is afraid people will laugh at him. I pointed out that some people will because it is a cute and clever costume. He insists their laughter would be of the ‘making fun’ kind. I blow it off. Seriously, who would make fun of a child in costume?
And then the big day arrives. We get dressed up. We drop Squirt at his preschool and head over to his. Boo doesn’t want to get out of the car. He’s afraid of what people will say and do to him. I convince him to go inside. He halts at the door. He’s visibly nervous. I chalk it up to him being a bit of a worrier in general. Seriously, WHO WOULD MAKE FUN OF A CHILD IN A COSTUME ON HALLOWEEN? So he walks in. And there were several friends of mine that knew what he was wearing that smiled and waved and gave him high-fives. We walk down the hall to where his classroom is.
And that’s where things went wrong. Two mothers went wide-eyed and made faces as if they smelled decomp. And I realize that my son is seeing the same thing I am. So I say, “Doesn’t he look great?”

Sounds to me like the kid had more sense than she did and she mothered him into doing what she wanted him to do. Then she goes on to blog about how she doesn't care if her son is "gay" even though no one said anything about that about that but her. Some mothers said it probably wasn't a good idea to have him dressed up like a girl, especially since he was "visibly nervous." Even if it was his idea and he REALLY wanted to do it (doesn't sound like that's what happened, even if you take the bitch's words at face value, which you shouldn't), this is how it sounds to me:
Kid: I want to be daphne from scooby doo.
Mom: HEY EVERYONE MY SON IS GAY. or not. Even if he is gay, that's okay. It's nobody's business if my five year-old is gay.
wtf?

don't be a dimwit.
the mother obviously is baiting people, hoping they will make big deal about her GAY SON so she can be a martyr and get attention.
she probably hopes the school disciplines him or sends him home because of his provocative costume, or else that some other students beat him up, so she can get on the local news, and then maybe on Oprah!
oh, what a courageous and freethinking MOMMY! she's so bighearted to love her GAY (Or not Gay) SON JUST THE WAY HE IS! Hurrah for her!! Hurrah for her GAY (Or not Gay) SON!

She's clearly uncomfortable living around religious people in Kansas and wants to shock them. I think that's the subtext. She's just chosen a terrible, demeaning way to do it.
This kid could become a serial killer because of the lifelong shame he will likely feel from this. Moms don't realize that their sons don't find the same things cute and adorable that they do.
*Sigh* I guess in this modern age all we can do is focus on ourselves and ignore the insanity and tragedy around us.

From her twitter bio:

I don't support any mom in the article. I do, however, support the son.
There are two places, I think, where this goes awry:
(1) Mom's naivete. Look, she sends her little boy to a Christian preschool. He would have had problems dressing up like a girl in a non-denominational, secular, progressive preschool. That she could possibly be so naive to believe that he would encounter no difficulties being dressed as a girl is absurd. Absolutely absurd.
I find that liberal women will occasionally use this kind of faux-innocent justification when dealing with the hard realities of the world. It is "victim blaming," for example, when one observes that a woman should not walk through certain neighborhoods alone at night. Now, of course it is victim-blaming to observe this ex post, as though it justifies what happens. A woman who chooses to do x, y, or z thing, which is known to increase the likelihood of rape, still cannot rightly be blamed for being raped. Rape is a volitional act by an aggressor.
Nevertheless, to ignore, in the spirit of liberal equanimity, the obvious when it comes to taking measures to prevent rape? Like, not getting black-out drunk with strangers, or not dressing provocatively in shady areas, or whatever? Well, you aren't dealing with the world as it is. You are dealing with the world as you think it, by rights, should be.
That's fine when you want to internalize the cost of that. Go get raped on your own time. But don't take it out on those in your care.
She knew, or should have known, that her son would have been ridiculed. And by pretending that she didn't, she wasn't forced to make a hard choice: expose her child to ridicule, or permit him to express himself. She wanted it all for her little boy. Now, perhaps she can't be blamed for wanting that, but being a parent isn't just about loving your children. It's about knowing better than them, too.
(2) "Mine is not to dictate what is ‘normal’ and what is not, but to help him become a good person."
No, your job is actually both, mom.

Okay. A fortiori, she knew. It's just so tacky to pretend otherwise. Just own up to it, lady. You used your own son as a teachable moment. Pretty despicable.

The main issue I have with the article is the mother publicizing a potentially embarrassing Halloween costume. She doesn't say whether or not her kid got teased by other kids at school.
There are competing values here. What is more important? Self-expression in face of potential ridicule, or conformity at the expense of denial of your natural impulses. I'm not saying that one is more important than the other because there are times when it's more beneficial to conform (such as in a conservative workplace), but it's also dangerous to dissuade a young child away from expressing a certain identity solely because some people might find that identity weird or off-putting.
That's teaching the child that non-mainstream views, behaviors or opinions should be subjugated in the face of a strong, contrary mainstream view, and that non-mainstream views essentially have less value. I'm not sure I want to raise my kids with that.
It's a fucking Halloween costume. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a guy dress up as a chick for a costume party I could buy everyone in this thread a beer.
I don't like the idea of her using her son to create a teachable moment to blog about on the interwebs, but we don't know how things went down from the son's perspective, or how this once Halloween will affect his development.

Yes. And the kid only had the "dumb idea" for a brief while. He changed his mind about dressing up in the costume (kids, impulsive as they are, change their minds about shit all the time) but his mom wouldn't let him.
To me, this is roughly analogous to if the kid said "I want to be a spaceman when I grow up!" The mom then carves that statement in stone, buys him astronaut sheets, gives him picture books about space, and loudly proclaims "MY SON WILL WALK ON MARS."
Two weeks later, the kid decides he wants to be a police man instead, but the mom says "SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU'RE GOING TO BE AN ASTRONAUT AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYBODY SAYS."

Funny you mention that.
Apparently, the kid's first word was "cop"

"Then as we got closer to the actual day, he stared to hem and haw about it. After some discussion it comes out that he is afraid people will laugh at him. I pointed out that some people will because it is a cute and clever costume. He insists their laughter would be of the ‘making fun’ kind. I blow it off."
"Boo doesn’t want to get out of the car. He’s afraid of what people will say and do to him. I convince him to go inside. He halts at the door. He’s visibly nervous. I chalk it up to him being a bit of a worrier in general."
what a fucking abusive cunt

"My famous little Boo is still sick. This fever is annoying."
Odds that "little Boo" is faking so he can skip school and avoid the humiliation that cunt mama put him thru?

"So truly I was doing a bit of a pun"
Right, because "happy" is still what people think when you write "my son is gay"
This poor kid is going to be haunted by this the rest of his life. You almost have to HOPE he's gay at this point because the fallout will be so much worse for him if he's not. She clearly has no regrets. She could have at least taken the picture down once it started going viral but she didn't. Not only is it there, but it's her facebook pic as well.
Part of me also wonders if forcing him to wear the costume was not only for an agenda, but also "I paid good money for this costume because you insisted, so I'll be damned if you're not going to wear it." Nevermind that he had legitimate concerns about its reception.

Would the mother still be accused of exploiting her child had she not blogged about it? When does encouraging a child to have the courage to be himself end, and exploitation to create a teachable moment begin?
If the child was an awkward preteen girl who wanted to read fat, thick dorky fantasy novels in studyhall when all of the rest of the girls were reading Sweet Valley High, would we be criticizing her mother for encouraging her to read what she wanted to read even if the kid had fears of being labeled a nerd?
Posting a photo of the child was in poor taste, but you can't find out these people's names unless you really dig (which some people will do).
If it were me, I'd encourage the child to wear the costume and not care about the taunts from petty people who he doesn't need as friends, but I'd refrain from blogging about it and if he ended up not wanting to wear the costume even after a few motherly pep-talks, I'd respect that.

Haha true true. I'm guilty of tl; dr posts aplenty so you got me there : )
I'm torn. I don't like the idea of teaching a child that giving into bullies is more important than self-expression (since that validates the opinions of the bullies/intolerant types), but lying to the child and telling him that he won't be laughed at for dressing up as a girl is irresponsible.
I admire what the mother was trying to do but it could have been done in a more sensitive way.

"Posting a photo of the child was in poor taste, but you can't find out these people's names unless you really dig (which some people will do)."
A simple google search of "kid dressed as daphne", which I doubt most people would label "digging" gets the real names in every single one of the first page hits.
This kid will be taunted with this picture for the rest of his life.
CNN can't say "It will get better! Stop the bullying!" for the whole last month and then stand and applaud when kids are fucking set up for it.

This mom should lose her kid. This is seriously fucked up, and could damage the kid psychologically later in life.
Selfish BITCH.

‘My Son Is Gay’ Is A Lesson In Bad Mommy Blogging

Mommy blogger Nerdy Apple Bottom (aka Sarah Manley) is up on her hobby horse with a recent post titled, “My son is gay.” It’s the story of how her 5-year-old boy wanted to be Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween, then didn’t, was convinced by mom it really was a good choice and then…the fallout.
After the sensational headline, “My son is gay,” Sarah Manley goes on to say:
Or he’s not. I don’t care. He is still my son. And he is 5. And I am his mother. And if you have a problem with anything mentioned above, I don’t want to know you.
Then there’s the photo. He might be dressed as Daphne but in truth he looks more like some kind of sweet homage to the B52’s Kate Pierson dressed in hot pink and purple. In the picture, he’s perched on a big pumpkin while clutching a little purple zebra-striped purse. His smile is killer.
Mom must’ve been proud, but you can see why little Boo was somewhat hesitant about the costume. “As we got closer to the actual day, he started to hem and haw about it. After some discussion it comes out that he is afraid people will laugh at him.”
It’s a distinct possibility. But for Sarah Manley, the Daphne costume had transformed from playful to political. This might be a teachable moment for her pre-K son, whom she describes as “a worrier in general,” about the triumphs of being unconventional. It might expose him to ridicule. She is torn: “It also was heartbreaking to me that my sweet, kind-hearted five year old was right to be worried.”
But she shakes it off. “Who would make fun of a child [boy] in [a girl] costume?” Turns out a lot of people–a lot of mean mommies at her kid’s daycare. And that is a shame, particularly when you consider that little Sally or Shiloh can choose to be a cowboy or Batman without tsk-tsks and accusations of gender-bending.
Her anger at the mean mommies is valid. But she’s taken to the blogosphere with her rants (people can be mean, even to children! traditional gender distinctions aren’t fair!) at the expense of her “worrier” son’s privacy, forever and ever. Maybe he won’t mind. Maybe he will.
Here’s my point: He can wear anything he likes. And while Nerdy Apple is right in telling those mean mommies with their stares and comments that “it is none of your damn business” what her son puts on, it’s even more true that she has no damn business putting up that headline with that photo of her son on the Internet.
I wish saying, “My son is gay,” was as neutral as, “He’s a people person.” It’s not. The memory of bullying victim Tyler Clementi is still too raw. Let’s get dystopian for a moment: This post could potentially cost Boo a future visa to Iran or Uganda–or a spot in the U.S. military. Homosexuality is social and political kindling in many corners.
Now let’s dial it back: He might straight up be embarrassed. And should “out and proud” be his future–which may or may not be the case, as many little boys and girls play with gender stereotypes–it ought to be on his own terms and in his own time. I appreciate Nerdy Apple’s political point of view, but she’s gone two steps too far in oversharing by however-ironically “outing” her kid.
Here’s what some of the ForbesWoman community from Facebook had to say:
It seems like Sarah Manley might be causing her 5 y.o. more grief than help by airing his private struggles. Most of her points are well taken, & bullying of any sort is awful. I think she would help her son more by taking a less defensive approach and by not airing his life for the world to see. — Hanorah Anderson
This could cause a relationship issues for a lot of kids/parents some day when the child is older. — Duong Sheahan
That is so wrong! Any body can see that… what kind of mother is she? — Lorelei Evans
This is THE central problem to all mommy blogging. Children are not characters in a blog’s storyline. They are real people, with feelings–and a long memory.
