He could be extremely resistant at first. He might try to fight back physically or verbally, refusing to put on the dress and getting angry at those who are forcing him.
On the other hand, there are boys who might initially seem compliant but then find a way to subvert the situation. He could add his own masculine touches to the dress, like wearing boots and a tough - looking belt with it. This shows that he is trying to assert his own identity even while being forced into something he doesn't want. In a more complex story, this could lead to a character arc where he learns to be more confident in himself despite the difficult situation.
He might be extremely embarrassed and try to hide. For example, he could run away and find a place to change back into his normal clothes as soon as possible.
He could be feeling a whole range of negative emotions. First of all, there's the obvious discomfort. Dresses are not something boys typically wear, so physically it might be uncomfortable. Emotionally, he might be in a state of shock, especially if it was sudden. Then comes the sense of powerlessness, as he has no choice in the matter. He may also feel betrayed if it was someone he trusted who forced him, like a friend or family member. This could lead to long - term trust issues. And on top of all that, he might be worried about the long - term consequences, like being teased or bullied further in the future because of this incident.
He would probably feel embarrassed. Wearing something that goes against the traditional gender - associated clothing for boys in a forced situation is likely to make him feel self - conscious in front of others.
He might initially be very resistant. After all, it goes against the traditional male clothing norms in most societies. He could try to fight back or refuse to put on the dress.
He could be confused as well. If he doesn't understand why he has to wear the dress, especially if there is no clear explanation given, he might be left in a state of confusion about the whole situation and wonder what he did wrong to be put in such a position.
Maybe some over - zealous teachers or school staff who have extreme views on gender equality. They might think that by making a boy wear a dress, they are promoting a more inclusive environment, but they are actually crossing a line if they force it. However, this is a very extreme and inappropriate way to go about it.
There could be a long - term impact on his view of gender norms. On one hand, it might make him more open - minded about breaking gender boundaries in the future. But on the other hand, it could also make him resentful if he was forced against his will. This experience might also lead to him being more self - conscious about his appearance and how others perceive him in relation to gender roles.
Some people might be shocked or confused at first. They are so used to traditional gender - specific clothing norms that seeing a boy in a dress goes against their expectations.
There's a chance he could initially feel very resistant and uncomfortable. However, if he later realizes there's a positive aspect to it, like it being for a good cause such as a performance, he might start to feel more accepting. But at first, it's likely to be a very awkward and unwelcome situation for him.
One possible reason could be as a form of bullying. Some kids can be cruel and force others into embarrassing situations. Another reason might be part of a dare or a mean prank within a group of peers who don't consider the boy's feelings.
