Dad and Son Dress as Disney Princesses, Bust Stereotypes

— -- Two parents are getting attention for saying "let it go" to gender stereotypes this Halloween.

Paul Henson of Chesapeake, Va., posted a photo to Facebook of his three-year-old son Caiden in his Princess Elsa Halloween dress from the Disney movie "Frozen."

Henson explained why he allowed his son to dress up as a princess in the caption underneath the photo.

"Keep your masculine bulls--t and slutty kids costumes, Halloween is about children pretending to be their favorite characters," said Henson. "Just so happens, this week his is a princess."

Henson also revealed that he will be dressing up as fellow "Frozen" character Princess Anna at his son's request.

"He also wants me to be Anna. Game on," Henson wrote.

Caiden's mother Ashley Ramage responded to the outpour of support that she and Henson have received since the Facebook post went viral, saying that she "never in a million years expected this much love & support via social media."

"When Caiden said he wanted to be Elsa for Halloween we didn't think twice about it," wrote Ramage. "We knew there would be people who didn't agree with it, but there is no way we are going to let him think he is wrong for wanting to be his favorite character for Halloween."

"One day he may look back, laugh, & be like 'omg i cant believe you let me do that,' or he may look back one day and say 'thank you mom & dad for letting me be myself,'" Ramage continued. "Either way, I will never regret or feel bad about allowing him to figure out who he is on his own."
