While I would agree forcing a kid to dress a certain way is inappropriate, I thave to disagree. Putting completely aside any arguments about gender as a whole, why shouldn't kids be allowed to crossdress? Maybe some kids just like the clothing that isn't associated with their gender.

I would agree that people shouldn't get overly angry if you get their gender wrong, but if they just politely correct you then what's the harm? So what if somebody is the opposite gender that you expected? Especially if it's someone you don't know, somebody else's gender doesn't really have an effect on your life. If you really are confused and someone doesn't tell you immediately, you could always just ask them.

The only real reason I could see it as even potentially an issue is if you're straight/homosexual romantically interested in someone, only to be unsettled by a gender reveal. Even then, I would assume anyone you developed mutual feelings over a long period of time for would have told you their gender, and otherwise just move on with your life. That issue also doesn't apply to this particular case, because the kid is 12.

All in all, there really isn't anything left to be upset over. Just relax, dude.
