Would you let your son wear leggings to school?

I know times are changing and hopefully it's not a big deal anymore because to me it's really just so silly I would let my son wear anything he wants to at home but carefully explain to him the possible repercussions of doing it in public. I look forward to a day when people of any gender will be able to wear whatever they like, but that probably won't happen in my lifetime.

That's a complicated question. I would say it depends on where I live, how old my son was, how well I knew the school dress code, and whether or not my son was tough enough to withstand some taunts and teasing from others and that's just a few I can think of.

We should remember that women had to fight to be able to wear pants.. for a long time that was not allowed in public so times do change, but in answer to your question yes I probably would.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?
