Dressing a boy as a girl for punishment is very inappropriate.
I think the best thing to do would be to explain to him exactly what he's doing wrong, and why he shouldn't do it, and then punish him by say, giving him time out or extra chores.
Make sure he realizes that if he behaves wrongly again, the next punishment will be more severe. (grounding, taking away toys)
Also remember to reward him for good behavior (not always though, don't spoil him). And make sure he knows that it's the good behavior that you are rewarding him for.
Another thing, make sure that if you have a partner, that you are a team when it comes to discipline. Make a game plan, and make sure you agree on it.

It's definately not right and not just because of some of the answers already given. A boy disrespects a girl and you say "Well, now you have to pretend to be a girl as punishment", he's going to squirm and feel uncomfortable and be made fun of and how exactly is that going to make him respect women?

Wow! I'm glad you asked that question so you could get the opinions of sane people! Were you kidding? I know alot of people come on here and ask questions just to get a rise out of others, but I can't imagine where you would have even come up with the idea. Have you attempted to talk to the boy and find out why he teases? Sounds like completely normal behavior, I certainly had boys tease me growing up. Let a male figure talk to him about respecting women, if his father's not around and I can't imagine you would ask such a question if he was. Wow, now I've heard everything.,,,

Ok, NOW I get it. I just checked your 360 and you're a tranny. If this happened to you as a boy, I am so, so, sorry. That's a terrible way to discipline.

Oh wow...that's wrong on so many levels...let me try to name a few:
1. It insinuates that there is something wrong with being a girl
2. It totally messes with the boy's head, the whole gender reversal thing
3. It teaches him nothing except that is punisher is mentally ill
4. It does not address the problem at hand, which is what the punishment is supposed to do.
If this is your idea, you need help. If this is someone else's idea, get them help. The poor child....that's mental abuse.

So far, it sounds as if they're asking a straightforward question and would like answers/opinions from others... and maybe not so much the personal recriminations. Whether it happened to them or they've considered doing it would just be an assumption on our parts. (Forgive me if I've misread and misunderstand the question entirely.)
And having said that... my opinion? No, I don't think it's right. It's sick and wrong. In much the same way it would be wrong to punish a child by calling them the same names they've called another, or physically punishing them in the same way they've hurt others.

If its ur child and u want to punish him there are different ways of disciplining him. Dressing him up as a girl could take a heavy toll on his personality and performance in future. Seek assistance from a professional like a child psychiatrist.

No it is not ok to do that! Maybe he acts the way he does because he sees that behavior being model somewhere, maybe at home. Causing your child social and emotional damage for the rest of his life is never ok. Why don't you just talk to him and ask him where he hear those words from or where he seen people do that. It maybe from TV or somewhere else. Children learn from observing and coping others. If you can't figure a positive solution out with this behavior then talk to your child's teachers or call a child therapist or family protective services. Hurting your child is never ok. Physical abuse is not the only kind of abuse in this world. My advice to you is talk with you child and get help!

dressing a boy as a girl is NEVER an appropriate punishment. this may demean him and create bigger problems for the future.
if he is young, it is better to not punish him at all because all boys (and girls) go through that phase. he needs to be talked to and it needs to be explained to him why he cant tease or disrespect girls.
dressing him up as one can confuse him, it's almost a cruel punishment.
all he needs is caring discipline so he doesn't revolt.

No. If being dressed as a girl is 'punishment', then automatically you are creating the belief that women are inferior. It's a great way to raise a woman-hating psychopath.

I have worked with youth for 6 years and humiliation is not key. You have to set firm boundaries with him andlet him know firmly that what he is doing is not appropriate and then maybe ask him why he does it. Find the root before you punish
