He may experience a sense of confusion. If he has been brought up with certain ideas about gender and clothing, being forced into a princess dress could shatter his understanding of what is 'normal' for him. This confusion could lead to self - doubt and uneasiness, not only about his appearance at that moment but also about his identity in a broader sense.
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 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 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.
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.
He might feel embarrassed. Wearing acrylic nails is often associated with femininity, and in a society with traditional gender roles, a boy might feel out of place and self - conscious about it.
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.
He probably feels extremely embarrassed. Wearing something so out of the ordinary for a boy in a situation where he has no choice can be mortifying.
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.
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.
He would probably feel humiliated. Wearing clothes and makeup that are not in line with his gender identity in a forced way is a demeaning experience.
There could also be a sense of confusion. If he's young, he may not fully understand why he's being made to wear these clothes. He might start to question his own identity or what it means to be a boy or a girl. This confusion can lead to a lot of self - exploration in the story as he tries to make sense of the situation.
