As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised as A Girl

In 1967, after a baby boy -- one of a set of identical twins -- suffered a botched circumcision, a radical treatment option was agreed to by his desperate and grieving family. Encouraged by renowned medical psychologist Dr. John Money, an expert in the field of gender identity and sexual reassignment, the anonymous child was surgically altered to live life as a girl. The case would prove to be precedent-setting, becoming "proof" for the feminist movement that gender gap was purely a result of cultural conditioning.But all was not as it seemed. Initially proclaimed a resounding success, the devastating psychological cost of the procedure has only recently become known. Now living as an adult male, married and with a family of his own, this patient has granted John Colapinto unprecedented access to his story. As Nature Made Him is at once a fascinating exploration of the elusive nature of sexual identity and an examination of the ever-intensifying struggle between what medical science ca

Girls Clothing Made Easy

Girls clothes are one of the hardest things to find as any parent or even anyone who has had to find and purchase clothes for a girl will tell you. Dressing all children is a very hard thing to do but if you are blessed with little girls the task becomes one that is truly epic in proportions. Most boys till a certain age at least are not extremely fussy about the type of clothes that they wear and the type of clothes that they are seen in. This is a huge respite for parents as they can find clothes that are presentable and not too expensive and that their children look good in. Most parents do not want to spend a king's ransom on clothing for their little children because they grow up so fast, sometimes a few inches in a month or so, that they frequently outgrow clothes.

As such it is a criminal waste of money to buy very expensive clothes for children who are still growing.

With girls this situation gets a little more difficult because most girls are very picky about what they want to wear and want to be seen wearing in public than boys of the same age are. They also have more developed tastes and preferences and these days their tastes are getting developed even at an earlier age. These days even very young children are bombarded by television, radio, magazines, the internet and from other sources of media with images of child stars wearing designer clothes. Many popular television shows these days that the kids all love, revolve around the lives of children who only ever seem to wear designer outfits all the time. These images influence most grown ups as well and most people when pressed will admit that the constant media bombardment and the advertising makes them conscious of how they look and dress and at times even gives them body issues.

For your children and girls in particular this effect is even more pronounced as children are much more perceptible to targeted advertising and images than grown ups are. This is a fact that the advertising industry discovered a few decades back and things have never been the same.

When you buy girls clothes today there are a number of constraints that you have. The clothes need to look decent and presentable while still being appropriate for young children. They need to be available at reasonable prices that do not give you sticker shock and regret the purchase when your child inevitably grows out of them in a year or even less.
