When diagnosising Christopher Robin you neglected to take into account the times in which he was a child. In his day, boys simply did not wear long pants at his age. If he had been drawn to what we think of children wearing, people would think it very odd in his time period. My point is that Christopher Robin is no more at risk for gender identity problems than any other youth at his time.
