[quote=Anonymous]An older boy (I think he said he was 8) asked my 5 year old son if he was a boy or a girl a few days ago at the pool. My son said he's a boy. Then asked the other kid if he was a boy too :) My son has also asked me "is it a boy or a girl?" a year ago when looking at an African American man with long braids. I said he's a boy, and that sometimes boys have long hair too. The man seemed surprised initially by the question, my son said "oh" at my answer and moved on. I think asking about gender is a pretty normal question for kids. They're trying to figure out their world and how everything relates together. And obviously what the person should be called. You can never control what people are going to be offended by.[/quote]
