A six year old boy in Texas is at the center of a custody battle which is focused on his gender. The child was born male, but his mother insists he identifies as a girl and she dresses him as one. When he is at his father's house, the child dresses as a boy and is happy to do so. The mother is a pediatrician and is suing to remove the father's rights.
