Gender variance

 Article Evaluation 

The article has a good start but is lacking information especially in the area regarding clothing. It only focuses on men wearing women's clothing. Could use more about style of dress for lesbian women and discussion on butch/femme clothing aesthetic perhaps. More can be added regarding gender non-conforming women in general. More content could be adding for terminology as a lot of gender designations are missing.

Parents of Gender-Variant Children

Parents often attempt to deter their children from experimenting with gender, especially in the early years when their child enters school. Author Elizabeth Rahilly refers to this behavior as "gender-hedging". These parental boundaries stem from a lack of knowledge regarding gender variance. Parents may make small allowances for gender expression while maintaining boundaries within their child's biological sex and in some cases allow for a male child to dress in a more feminine style at home but not in public where there is a risk of being mocked or bullied. Families with one or more parents who ascribe to a gender non-conforming lifestyle develop a higher sense of self-worth in their children.
