Is gender idenitiy imposed on Ludo?

Ludo knew he was different from other boys and girls at school very early on in his childhood. He made is apparent to his friends and neighborhood that his insides didnt match his outsides. Ludo was always comfortable in his skin, but his parents were not happy with his behavior. I think it was his parents that imposed the "male idenity" on Ludo since they wanted to have a "normal" son, just like every other parent's son. It was clear that Ludo's parents didn't take his lifestyle seriously since everytime Ludo would dress in girls clothes they would tell him that hes to old to "play dress up." Because of his unsupportive parents, Ludo felt it necessary to act on dangerous behavior, such as putting himself in the freezer. Gender idenitiy is imposed since both of his parents try to change him through out the movie.
