Hollyoaks star Daisy Wood-Davis has responded to negative comments after facing criticism for allowing her two-year-old son to wear a dress.
Daisy recounted an incident where older children told Asa that "boys don't wear dresses" during playtime at a play village. She expressed her strong feelings on the matter, stating: "I feel so passionate about this, not just in case Asa wants to wear a dress one day but to make sure he is never the child who bullies or puts another down for being 'different' which seems to happen from such a young age it's scary! ".
Daisy also clarified: "I should also add he wasn't wearing a dress in the play village. He was with his Nana but I believe he was also merely looking at the dressing up items when the boys needed to tell him this 'fact'," reports the Mirror. One message read: "This is what is wrong with the world now. Is it normal for a little boy to wear a dress... no it's not and personally I don't want to explain to my son why other boys are wearing dresses! Are you also letting him decide what gender he is when he is clearly a boy? ".
