Kids bullied 6-year-old boy for wearing a 'Frozen' T-shirt to school — he had a mic-drop response ready

Kids wear what they like. Whether it’s their favorite superhero, cartoon character or something comfortable, they choose outfits that make them happy. For 6-year-old Felix, that meant putting on his brand-new "Frozen" T-shirt, which he adored. But when he got to school, some classmates questioned his choice. His mother, Lisa Karlsson, shared the story on Facebook, explaining that Felix had picked out his clothes like he usually did–his new "Frozen" T-shirt and a pair of soft black leggings that helped him run fast. When she picked him up later that day, he told her that several kids had asked why he was wearing "girls' clothes."

Karlsson asked what he said to them. Felix’s answer was clear and confident. He told them, "Boys can like Frozen too. I like these clothes. Girls aren’t boys just because they wear football shirts. It’s like sports. There’s no boys’ or girls’ sport. Just sport. Otherwise, it would say so in the name…" His mom asked how the other kids reacted. He answered, "They just shrugged their shoulders and walked away." Karlsson ended her post with a message of support for her son, saying, "May you always be just as strong and confident in yourself." Felix’s calm and logical response caught the attention of many online, with people praising both his confidence and his perspective.

Alice Harryson said, "Smart little guy. He knows how to stand his ground and has the perfect answer. You must be so proud!" Josephine Bejeryd wrote, "Oh, fantastic Felix. But so sad that something like this even has to be questioned." Tanja Rosö pointed, "He’s just like my Axel. They are two wonderful role models. Both of them!" Sammy Wirström added, "Of course, you choose to have girls on your T-shirt—go Felix!" Gustav Sund quipped, "Tell Felix that we like Frozen too!" After receiving such an overwhelming response, Karlsson thanked everyone in the comments. She wrote, "Thank you all for your kind words! Yes, he is wise and makes me so proud. Feel free to share with anyone who wishes to do so." 

Just as Felix questioned the typical gender norms by wearing a "Frozen" T-shirt, another 5-year-old did so by buying a pink umbrella, which he was told was "for girls." It happened when a mother, Johanna Winblad, took her twin sons shopping for umbrellas. While browsing in a store, the boys asked a store clerk if they had any. The clerk responded, "Sorry, we only got umbrellas for girls."

However, when Zeb, one of the twins, looked around, he spotted a pink umbrella covered in hearts. He confidently said, "This is a super nice umbrella." His mother had no issue with his choice, so they took it to the register and bought it. As they walked out of the store, Zeb turned to his mom and said, "Mom, the lady who works here isn’t very smart because she doesn’t know that umbrellas don’t have v***** or p****!" His mom was caught off guard by his matter-of-fact reasoning, and when she shared the story online, people couldn't help but praise Zeb’s clear and logical response.
