Her son will go through many things in the next few years. She should watch and follow him. I had friends who had a son (two gay mothers and one gay father) who was all into wearing dresses when he was young (and pink, pink, pink). So they let him. As he grew up, he started to like sports and excelled at some. He doesn't wear dresses and identifies (right now, as a teen) as straight.

So, who knows

Other kids will lead in other directions.

I agree with get educated -.....but mostly, relax and follow your child.
