Must suck for this writer that she has a son.  She seems to be trying to turn him into a daughter, including enrolling him in ballet lessons - which there seemed to be no indication was an interest of his.  That's child abuse.  Ah, well.  Poor kid has no say, of course, like all kids.  Hope he grows up to be a well adjusted human  being, with no self loathing, and who cares about all living beings, not just women.
