[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me sad.  What has the world come to?  Now young children are pretending to identify with another gender or NO gender?  This didn't even exist 50 years ago.  We are continuing to specialize children.  So awful.  [/quote]
It didn't exist 50 years ago because people were told they had to be put in specific gender boxes. It didn't occur to people that they could step outside, and if they did, they were ridiculed or had violence done to them. So this is progress.

Listen, my son loves wearing colorful pants, rainbows, unicorns, and so on. He also loves dinosaurs, robots, and Star Wars. If he wants to dress in half of the colors/pictures he likes, he has to go into the "girls" section. That's just the way stores are set up. He doesn't self-identify as anything but a boy or a kid, but if he continues to want to wear these clothes as he gets older, he might want to make choices for himself. Or stores could just go gender-neutral, which would be my preference. [/quote]

It's kind of scary you define your kids gender by what aisle he shops in. Trust me you could buy a shirt in the men's department and that wouldn't make you a man. Wearing colourful clothes doesn't mean he is a girl.[/quote]
