As a parent of little kids I am now one million percent convinced all of this gendered “girls naturally like pink and ponies and boys naturally like blue and dinos” is utter nonsense. I try as best I can to just let my kids explore whatever they want and they do not fall along any of these gendered lines.
But ultimately, it feels like a losing battle since everyone in my life (partner included) as well as all of society is fighting against me on this. As my kids have gotten older I can already see how they are ~~falling~~ being pushed into gendered interests. But I know it’s not some organic interest. I can draw the lines and point to how they get so much societal push on these things.
This is why a few more radical parents dont reveal their childrens AGAB to others. It comes with its own set of challenges, I'm sure, but I sure wish I had a little more space from cisnormativity growing up
It doesn't help that children are super primed to perceive and understand gender, kind of like how they are with language.
Seen a lot of people who don't think kids are that smart, inquisitive or can grasp concepts and things like that. Some people have problems themselves being ignorant and reluctant to learn and project it I guess, would explain that line of thinking
I dropped my kid off at a day care camp for 1 evening and the first thing the counselors did was separate boys from girls in two lines
