How very strange.
I have a friend of mine who has a ten year old daughter. The girl acts and talks like a boy. She wears boys underwear, has boy toys, and takes karate after school. The mother, my friend, allows it and allowed it from day one. Not much they can do.
As for the Girl Scouts, I understand their position perfectly. My wife is heavily involved in our kid's youth league; In fact, she's in charge of it. If they had a boy that wanted to be a cheerleader the amount of problems it would cause would be huge. It's one thing to respects the rights of this kid, but it would be another thing to have two thirds of the kids pull out of the sports team because a boy wants to be a cheerleader - or even a girl wanting to be a football player.
