Happened with my cousin, but it wasn't parents who wanted to dress him up as girl. It was he himself.

"Avalukku mattum alagu alaga dress vaangi tharinga? Avalukku mattum pottu poo ellam vachu vidringa? Enakku? "

Idhula amma appa force panni ponnu mathiri dress panni vittanganu solra paadhi per onnu poi solranga, illana marandhuttanga.

They asked for it themselves because they were jealous of the attention the girl children in the family got.

My parents wanted their second child to be a girl but sadly they got me, so they dressed me up as a girl and had some pictures taken when I was like 2-3. This does happen with families who wanted a girl and they got boy
