Romeo Clarke, 5, has three older sisters, so it's understandable that the little boy has a collection of 100 dresses and eight pairs of high-heeled children's shoes.
"This is not a case of him being trapped in a girl’s body"
But the St Marie’s Catholic Primary School in Rugby, Warwickshire, have banned him from their playgroup after insisting that his dress sense is "upsetting and confusing" the other children.
His mother Georgina, 36, has lodged a complaint with the church, claiming that they are discriminating against her son.
The mother of four said: "I was so cross when I was told, I was speechless. All I could ask was ‘why?’ Wearing the dress is his choice and if wearing it makes him happy it’s fine with me.
"This is not a case of him being trapped in a girl’s body.
"He’s normal but because he has three big sisters, he likes wearing dresses. What’s wrong with that?"
Mrs Bex Venables, the minister in training at the Rugby Christian Fellowship yesterday defended her decision to ban Romeo.
"Georgina’s son is still allowed to attend Buzz Children’s Club but has been asked to wear clothing of the gender stated on his registration form, which states male," she said.
"This request is no different from what is asked by his school, where he wears a boy’s uniform."
