Alice Goulding, 29 and a hairdresser, says she is tired of people having a go at her because of her son Winter’s hair.


‘A parent came up to me at a birthday party and started saying that Winter would grow up to be trans because his hair’s long,’ she says.

‘He has this gorgeous hair, light blonde on the end which blends up to a dark blonde on the roots. He’s got a beautiful natural balayage, so why cut it?’


Alice says Winter likes his hair and and when she threatened to cut it if he didn’t brush it, he started to brush it regularly.


She said some girls would often stop playing with him when they realised he was a boy and not a girl.
