Well, initially, he should stay calm. Reacting impulsively might make the situation worse. He could try to negotiate with the people in charge. For instance, he could offer to do something else instead, like helping with the cheerleading team in a non - performing role such as handling equipment or doing administrative tasks. If negotiation fails, he might consider joining a club or activity that he is actually interested in parallelly, so that he can balance his unwanted cheerleading obligation with something he enjoys.
If it's a more serious situation like family - imposed due to some strange idea about gender roles, he might need to seek help from other family members who are more understanding. He could also try to educate them about respecting personal boundaries and the fact that wearing a saree against his will is wrong. For example, he can share stories or examples from other places where such behavior is not acceptable.
He could directly tell the people forcing him that it's wrong and he doesn't want to do it. If they don't stop, he should seek help from an adult he trusts, like a teacher or a parent.
He could try to stand up for himself firmly and say no. If he's being bullied into it, showing confidence and not being afraid of the bullies' threats can sometimes make them back off.
She could first seek support from her family. If her family is understanding, they can provide emotional and practical help. For example, they can accompany her to doctor's appointments.
If it's a non - life - threatening situation, communication is key. Try to talk to your husband privately later about how you felt and why it was wrong. For example, if you were forced to participate in an activity you didn't like in front of him, explain your discomfort.
If you're in such a situation, you need to stay strong. Don't be afraid to say 'no' loudly. Reach out to people who can support you, like counselors or social workers. Document any instances of coercion if possible. You might also want to educate the people around you about the importance of respecting personal choice and identity. It's a long and challenging process, but you have the right to be true to yourself.
The boy might start by observing other girls around him. He can learn their mannerisms, how they talk and interact. But at the same time, he could use his own male - influenced thinking to his advantage. For instance, if there are physical tasks that girls in that story are not expected to do well but he can because of his original male physique. He can also try to educate those around him about how wrong it is to force someone to be something they're not.
He should try to communicate. He can talk to his parents or the people forcing him, and express his discomfort and his true feelings about his gender. For example, he can say 'I don't feel right being made to be a girl, I am a boy and I want to be treated as one'.
The boy might also find support from other family members or friends. They can act as mediators between him and his mother, or just be there to listen and offer emotional support. Another way is to engage in activities that he enjoys and that make him feel like himself. For example, if he likes sports, he can continue to play sports even with his new look. This can help him maintain a sense of identity.
One should firmly assert their boundaries and say no. If that doesn't work, try to remove themselves from the situation as soon as possible.
