German Dad Nils Pickert Wears Skirts To Support Dress-Wearing Son

Nils Pickert isn't your average dad. He's a German Father who eaed himself Dad of the year title after his unusual support for his 5-year-old son who loves to wear women's clothing. Instead of taking the child through a ten course program on how to be a man, he instead started wearing skirts out in public as a show of solidarity.

The little boy became scared to venture out into the attire, because he did not want to be laughed at anymore. Instead of gently encouraging his son to wear more conventional clothes, Nils Pickert put on dresses and skirts too. Carbonated notes that Pickert explained:

    "I didn"t want to talk my son into not wearing dresses and skirts. He didn"t make friends in doing that in Berlin already, and after a lot of contemplation, I had only one option left: To broaden my shoulders for my little buddy and dress in a skirt myself.”

Because of his dad"s response, Pickert"s son is no longer afraid to dress how he wants to, and the teasing he receives from others doesn"t bother him anymore.

    "The day [after I wore a skirt] he fished out a dress from the depth of his wardrobe. At first only for the weekend. Later also for nursery-school. He"s simply smiling, when other boys (and it"s nearly always boys) want to make fun of him and says: ‘You only don"t dare to wear skirts and dresses because your dads don"t dare to either."”

Would you consider wearing a skirt for your son to support his choice of wearing women"s clothing?
