What Happened When My Son Wore A Pink Headband To Walmart

[Tree-Hugger]

155. I have plenty of experience being bullied and I still think this is fake

I was not only bullied, but systematically tortured in grade school. I still, to this day at 34 years of age, have people tell me that I am ugly - total strangers, to my face. I know what it's like to be bullied. Furthermore, my son has long hair and plays with dolls, had a doll stroller he pushed around (he's too big for it now) and would carry around my old purses. I have had people - yes, in WalMart - make comments and ask if I was "Afraid he will turn gay." I have been there, trust me. I know this crap happens. Yet, my gut reaction was that the story was either entirely fake or greatly embellished. Further reading shows that she has a history of this type of behavior.

Of course, I think some reaction to her story has been very harsh and downright evil. While I think she is full of shit, I don't believe she deserves some of the stuff that's been said about her throughout the internetz. She obviously has issues and the type of evil shaming going on definitely won't help her.
