But statistically speaking, short of chromosomal analysis, your child is going to be the gender that they are. Hiding that gender doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, just be supportive and open minded and let them play with and explore whatever they want.<br /><br />On the other hand, one of the kids on one of our soccer teams is a gorgeous little girl with a deep voice and a true hatred of all things in any way relating to girls. She doesn't like to play with girls, her favorite thing is Star Wars. She dresses like a boy despite her Mom continually trying to get dresses on her. I wonder about this child and whether someday she won't be miserable about her gender.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120774715331922926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864546396010960499.post-12316486313524587662011-05-26T12:32:55.802-07:002011-05-26T12:32:55.802-07:00Snips and snails

And puppy dog...Snips and snails<br />And sugar and spice<br />And puppy dog's tails<br />And everything nice...<br />That's what my little girls are made of!<br />I'm with YOU on this one. Drew is a girl...a girl who could probably jack you up with her karate moves while wearing the aforementioned skirt. My Julia paints her nails before shooting her pellet gun. I think solving the problem of forcing children into specific socially-accepted gender behaviors by denying them the right to know what their gender IS is as silly as killing a fly with an assault rifle.offtoworkigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151061968547729365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5864546396010960499.post-46992143409112477682011-05-26T12:24:55.493-07:002011-05-26T12:24:55.493-07:00If they're doing it because they don't wan...If they're doing it because they don't want "societal norms" dictating who their child is, that's fine, couldn't agree more. Flying in the face of millions of years of evolution though? Good luck with that, dumbass.Jason Koivuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220086893278124254noreply@blogger.com
