Feminine boys

Do you know a boy who wants to wear his mother's high-heels and likes to put on make-up? A boy who claims he is a girl? Michael Bailey is a professor of psychology at Northwestern University. In his book The Man Who Would Be Queen Bailey discusses the science on 'feminine boys' and empathetically presents the pain and struggles these children and their families go through. He also makes clear that at the present psychological science does not offer any clear-cut solutions on how to improve these children's lives.

PS: Ma Vie En Rose (My Life in Pink) is a great Belgian movie on this topic. It's a sad and funny story about a boy who believes he is meant to be a girl. And there is a wonderful documentary on the various techniques to "cure" homosexuals, including psychoteraphy and religion: One Nation Under God.
