At eight I'd say the child probably is building his viewpoint of how life should be. His behavior was not appropriate for the workplace. But, he's eight. He needs some direction in expressing his opinion. He needs some instruction on accepting others for who they are. My daughter when she was very young saw a bus driver with long hair. He was truly a man's man with a pony tail and a beard. She just could not understand why a male had a pony tail. The hair style was for a female. She never heard any family discussion concerning hair length/style or anything about gender specific attire, etc. My daughter turned out fine, and, is a staunch supporter of self expression.
I'd just take my business elsewhere, where I had been accepted previously.
Maybe the boy has some fillings that he don't under stand and that's why he over reacted.
Always remimber life is what you make it.
So make it Beautiful.

Sorry you had to listen to that boy's rant, Kali.
This is exactly correct. The only question is who taught this boy about the contents of his little rant. It might be his peers, and it might be his parents.
I might have had something snappy to say to the kid about driving away paying customers from his mother, and in a voice loud enough his mother would be able to hear.
Fillings? How does his dental work figure into this?
I would've walked out and let them know I would let everyone I know to stay clear of that place!
If you don't like the way I'm livin', you just leave this long haired country girl alone:
A certain percentage will care, but will not confront you due to your size. I work in a female dominated profession; one that is routinely made fun of, and I know this, because I used to be included when jokes about it were told. Since I became 'one of them', no one says anything. But I'm aware that they simply don't say anything around me. When you're bigger and stronger than 99% of the guys around you, and can clearly break them in half, they're not going to confront you openly. What gets said behind your back is something else altogether, because I used to hear it said about other people until I was one of them. Still, that doesn't mean I want to be 'out' and have to fight my way through life like the proverbial 'boy named Sue' just to prove that I'm not gay.
Some causes of crossdressing you've probably never even considered: My TG biography at:http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/...=1#post1490560
There's an addendum at post # 82 on that thread, too. It's about a ten minute read.
Why don't we understand our desire to dress, behave and feel like a girl? Because from childhood, boys are told that the worst possible thing we can be, is a sissy. This feeling is so ingrained into our psyche, that we will suppress any thoughts that connect us to being or wanting to be feminine, even to the point of creating separate personalities to assign those female feelings into.
I have zero concern about what strangers say behind my back, and I'm not sure why I should be concerned if they thought I was gay; that seems like a bit of a nonsequitur. I just expect people to treat me with the respect that they themselves would wish to be treated.
Group mentality is one thing, individuals are another.
EXACTLY,,, Hell let um talk about ME,,,, Then there leaving some one else alone that might be worried about what dummys think . BOO,,,, Ill make ya FAMOUS !!
Yull Find Out !!! lol,,,,
It seems you handled it well. He was the one who made a scene and he'll have to deal with the consequences.
I would have paid maybe three dollars for the removal of the old nail polish, called the boy's mother over, and said,"I am walking out of this place, I'll never come back, and I will tell my friends to avoid your place of business."
You don't allow relatives to treat customers like that.

Ok i'm the newbie here, but in England it goes like this- the child needs a swift cuff around the ear, it will discourage him for next time, also lets all concerned know that we might be "different" but we don't take no s-it from no-one!
Next time get up on the spot and walk out the door. Say to the tech, hey I don't need this so I will leave.
Its too bad its not like growing up in the 70's, when you acted up and didn't quit making a scene, out came a belt or an orange Hot Wheel track and that was that.
Most of us were taught that it is wrong, and as kids, we zealously defend that. I agree with Doc, that most people even silently are uncomfortable or do not approve of it. We have to be like secret, or double agents, when in public.Most religion says it is wrng.
Respect? That's the LAST thing I expect out dressed, Kali! I'd be satisfied if they didn't belly laff and point rite in my face! Or would stop chasing me with pitchforks and torches! But then, I'm a little girl. So, no one is going to fear ME!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
