If she reached for the lipstick and the dress on her own, then the freaky thing to do would be to slap her hand and force a G.I. Joe into her palm.
Let the kid be what she wants to be, as long as it isn't hurting anyone. It is a parenting choice.
The freaky thing to do is to suddenly start calling your small child a girl because your boy decided to play dress up, a very normal behavior for very young children.

There is a difference between playing "dress up" and living every moment of your life as a girl and flipping out when people try to force you to be a boy.
I know it's asking a lot, but if people had actually read any of the links, or watched the interview, they would see that the child is under the care of a mental health team. The parents didn't just up and decide this on their own.
The rights of this kid do not trump the rights of all the other kids who attend that school. If you want to raise your son as a girl, great. Pay for private school and find one that has a transgender bathroom that he/she can use. Until then there's no reason why a perfectly healthy and anatomically correct male should be allowed to use a female restroom.
If I had a daughter who attended that school I'd raise some hell, you don't trample the rights of hundreds of kids just because one has some oddball parents who have lost their minds.
"The parents and lawyers representing the family urged the principal to reconsider, contending that singling out their daughter as the only girl in the school banned from using the girls’ bathrooms was stigmatizing and psychologically damaging."
LOL, and raising your boy as a girl is not stigmatizing and psychologically damaging?

I fixed it. But hold it... aren't all the other boys banned from using the girl's room as well?
I was talking to my mother earlier today about the new laws in MA regarding transgender school-age children and bathrooms. We came to a conclusion: how about they have their own bathroom? No one gets in trouble for feeling uncomfortable, and the transgender children will surely be accepted by other transgenders!
Now think about the cost to build and maintain a third type bathroom in every public school in America.
i can believe all the hype over boy and girls using the same restroom. Dont your kids use the same bathroom? or do you have one for your girls and one for your boys.
.
You mean to tell us you have a bathroom at home with multiple stalls? Seriously, you have to know that we are discussing restrooms that allow multiple users at the same time.
