The mum of a schoolboy who wears girls' clothes to class has described him as "inspirational" and "brave".
Theo Easton, seven, is in primary three at Hilltop Primary in Airdrie. He told his mum he wanted to wear a pinafore to school when he returned after the summer holidays this year.
His mum, Marion Easton, 39, said Theo first began wearing girls' clothes at home in 2022.
Marion said: "Theo as been wearing girls' clothes outside school for over a year. He's been out playing with his friends in both girls' and boys' clothes. It really just depends how he feels each day.
"He's a rough and tumble wee boy. He plays with lego, and likes army games. He identifies as a boy, but he just doesn't feel comfortable in boys' clothes.
"I don't know if this will become full-time thing or not. He's only seven, so he's still experimenting."
Theo wore his new school uniform for the first time on September 11 and was kitted out in the official pinafore, knee-high socks, brogues and a girls' polo shirt with scarlet neck and puffy shoulders.
Mum-of-two Marion said the support from Theo's friends and school has been hugely positive and she hopes his actions will help other youngsters feel safe to express themselves freely.
She continued: "Theo's first day in girls' uniform went great. He told his classmates he was going to be doing this the week before and one of his friends said: 'We'll still love you no matter what you wear, Theo'.
"Theo said he felt brilliant when he was out playing in his pinafore on his break and at lunch. He didn't feel any different.
"The school has been incredibly supportive. He said his teacher even told him she loved his clothes.
"The smile on his face when he came out of school that day basically said it all for me.
