Is it normal for a mom to dress her son as a girl?

Not a fair thing to do. While I can agree that people judging others for what they wear is ridiculous and perhaps should stop, it hasn't stopped and I don't see a time where it will stop, so your mother intentionally making you different to the others which may result in the mockery of you is pretty selfish.

You said you like living as a girl. That's fine and dandy but I'm not sure if this would be your natural wish without what your mother did. Either way, do as you please. It's your choice and you should do what makes you happiest. :)

That is just fucked up! It would be different if you wanted to be a woman. If you were a trans. But for your mom to force you to be a different gender that is just fucked!

If you didn't and still don't identify as a female, then what she did was deplorable I guess she wanted a daughter so bad that she projected her desires onto you.

I saw a episode of True Life (It's a reality-documentary series) once where this "girl" was actually a male. "Her" mother, at some point during childhood, began dressing her as a girl and the rest of the world knew her as a girl. In adulthood, she lived full time as a female. I don't recall her ever saying that she identified as female.

It is NOT normal, and probably criminal for a parent to make those kinds of decisions for a male child, who doesn't want to be dressed as a girl.
Of course, there is one question that begs answering; are you happy living as a girl?

thast really hot.did you get a boner?

some cultures raise children as opposite sex but that's usually just a matter of clothing what she did might be something sexual or at least it sounds that way.

I would have to say that you have been treated unfair and your mother is crewed up in the head. If you want to be a man get some help other wise go with it. Let your hair down and let it be.

Dude you are a crossdresser. Stop blaming your mother. There's nothing wrong with crossdressing, but your story sounds like a load of .... You've probably been doing this for years and now you've invented a story to tell strangers on a website. All crossdressers dream of having real breasts, either just in the moment while they're horny, or for the more serious ones, perminantly. But your story is a laugh.
If your mom had done that to you at that age you wouldn,t have any thoughts of whether its normal, because your life would have evolved around that fact and by now you would be part of a community of transgenders. And if you didn't get into it or rejected it, you've had more than enough opportunities to stop it. Your rebelleous teen years, your eighteenth birthday, and any day since you were no longer a minor. But fear not, we all like a good fantasy story here on IIN.

That mom should be arrested.

This reminds me of Sleep Away Camp.
