I've never had kids, but I do interact sometimes with a friend's
grandkids.
Anyway, I was over there yesterday, and Janet's 4-year-old (but nearly
5) granddaughter at one point put on a pair of sunglasses and asked
me if she looks good. I answered in the affirmative.
As I was leaving, I gave her the opportunity to stand on a stool and
start my motorcycle. She wouldn't go for it. She is very afraid of
motorcycles and the noises they make.
I get the feeling that a male child would have jumped at the chance.
And a male child would not have asked me if he looks good in
sunglasses.
I think the differences begin VERY early.

There is a couple raising their last child as "genderless".

Maybe that explains it.
I'm thinkin' the kid will figure things out all by its lonesome soon
enough.

I agree with the camp that it is a cruel experiment.
The notion of gender is important when growing up.
It really is built in to people.
But what do I know? According to gus, I'm gay ...

It must come as rather a shock to find out that you've been living a
lie for Lo, these many years.
But I'm sure that Krusty would never lie about something like that, so
it must be true.
