When he wears his... oh boy.

...what? It'll be pretty... he looks nice in them already, but this way it'll be bigger in the chest so he'll be prettier.

One, he's too young to have a chest. Two, oranges don't look realistic at all. Three, why the hell am I having a conversation with a kid about how to be a realistic drag queen?

But chests are what make girls pretty. And oranges are better than just putting toilet paper... and I don't know what a drag queen is.

... what.

...what?

Kid, who told you chests are what make girls pretty?

No one... I just thought that was right, 'cuz it's the only way girls look different, and girls are the only ones who are pretty normally.

It's not.

...that's what everyone says... but nobody can tell me why girls really are pretty and boys aren't.

It's because there's no set standard, but usually "pretty" is more feminine. After all, I look like the male Asches here, but my face is definitely female. A boy with my face would be considered "pretty."

But what makes your face look like a girl?

Well, how does my face differ from the others like me? Just the face, not counting anything I've added to it like my piercings or makeup.

I don't know... it just is. But I can't make Luke look pretty if I don't know why yours is pretty...

Some guys... just aren't pretty. They're cute, they're handsome, but not pretty. Their faces are too masculine.

...Luke's cute, though... and he's still little, so he looks kinda like a girl...

Do you think make-up would make him pretty?

Why do I get stuck with the awkward questions...?

... *sighs* I don't know if it's a good idea to let someone that young crossdress. And no, no makeup. There's a reason why we don't let kids under a certain age wear makeup.

He always wears dresses, though... he likes it a lot, I don't wanna make him stop...

Why can't he wear make-up?

People tend to ridicule those that don't follow social norms.

And because kids cake that shit on to the point it's ugly.

...what does that mean?

You can help us with the make-up... that way it won't be ugly.

People think men should act a certain way, and when they don't, they make fun of them.

... ooooooh boy.

Nobody here makes fun of him for it, though... they all think it's cute.

...what? You could... you're a girl, and you don't look ugly, so you must know how to do it right...

I doubt it, kid. It is cute, but there will be someone that will get on him for not being "normal." It helps if he waits until he's older and more able to deal with that shit.

... I have never helped a guy with his makeup.

...then you can tell him it's bad... I don't wanna, it'll make him cry.

How come?

It's not bad, but him crying is why I don't think it's a good idea to let him do it this early.

I just haven't.
