[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have noticed this in my 14 YO and her peer group.  No one wants to be boring vanilla anymore.  [/quote]

14? We have an 8-year-old girl in my child's camp who's obviously pulling the gender-queer crap, and she doesn't seem to be transgender. So DD's coming home and announcing that, from now on, she wouldn't come near any clothing that have the smallest sliver of pink and purple in it so she'll look just like her friend who wouldn't be caught dead in a pink shirt (or, God forbid, a dress!)  It's all nice and dandy except DD doesn't have a lot of dark colors in her wardrobe just because it was never an issue until now. So this week my child's been wearing black T-shirts in 90-degree weather just to be as 'cool' as her friend.

We'll be going to the beach soon so I'm starting to pack and I'm showing DD her old favorite T-shirt with a bunny on it. The shirt is unapologetically pink. "Should we pack it"? "Yes, we should," says DD, "no one will know me at the beach."

Ugh. I'm scared to think what happens in middle school.

PP, you know what? In my experience with two daughters, the whole pink tsunami is over around age 8, even if every single girl the girls know are girls born as girls with girl parts identifying as girls. Get your daughter some clothes that aren't pink, now that she's 8.[/quote]
