The parents are doing what they consider to be in the best interests of the child, end of the day he is 1, by the time he is 3 he may have a very different view of being dressed in fairy wings and dresses or he may not, there is a long road ahead for them either way with lots of good and bad decisions to be made. No parent gets it absolutely right all the time and if they tell you they do don't believe them!
