Do you ever just smell an old perfume, or hear an old song, or pass an old hangout spot and kinda break inside for a couple minutes.

i’m with the whole “dont force ur children to adhere to gender rules” but please …. let them if they want to …. my whole perception of femininity was warped because my parents pushed me to literally be “not like other girls” & “alternative” but as soon as i embraced pink things and dresses & stuff i felt really good about myself

i cant tell u how upset i was when we had a medieval day at school & i wanted to be a princess but my parents were like “nah all the other girls would do that u should be a knight” & i felt super bad compared to the others ugh

also like ?? as soon as i started liking “girly” things i discovered i was non-binary & stuff, so for me it’s not so much of a “kids should like things of the stereotypically opposite gender” as it is “let kids like what they like regardless of their gender but dont force them to like things of the stereotypically opposite gender”

Yes exactly! Let them try on different things, let them explore. Take them to a store and see what tys they are most interested in and get them those, gender be damnes. If they like the “girl” stuff get it, if they like the “boy” stuff, get it (and I dn;t mean get them everything they ask for but keep in mind the things they are interested in and don;t limit their options!)

Kids often like a variety of things. You want to wear a skirt? Cool wear a skirt. You like batman and princess tiaras? Awesome.

You want to be the most stereotypical boy or girl? Go for it.

The point is to let them have their preferences and encourage their interests regardless of gender, not deliberately stifle their options.
