Though it may only have come to light in the past few years for some, children dressing up in drag to imitate the gender roles that surround them is nothing new. You frequently hear of a kid’s inclination to put on their mother’s heels and smear on some lipstick for the sake of role play – the difference is that this behaviour was discouraged in young boys until seemingly recently.
