How can we raise our children gender neutral?

[Deleted]

Hey parents

we all know and agree that modern parenthood involves around raising their gender neutral as much as possible so that they dont get forced into the dated and opressive gender binary and can decide their gender themselves. But how far should we go? Should we take boys their toys away for example steoreotypical toys like cars or action figures and force them to also play with dolls and vice versa for girls? Probably children are getting brainwashed in kindergarten where they have to play with certain toys because of the group pressure and they adopt that style at home. So maybe they get completly confused :/

Any parents here that can help?

You use hen as pronoum for them.

Names give away the gender too so you should give them a number until they are old enough.

Correct answer: Don't.

Instead, teach children to embrace their genders. Let boys be boys and girls be girls.

A better question is why do we need to?

Only two that we, as humans, know of. There could be alien species out there with more than two genders.

By not telling them "no jens you cant play with dolls" or the equivalent for a girl.

Just let them follow the norms if they want to, or deviate if they want to. No need to force neutrality on them.

Obvious troll is obvious.

But I'll bite. No, you should not. And if I had power, pairs would be allowed to have children only after passing a psychologist test which makes sure they are not a completely fucked up weirdos.

Oh... it's you...

Just let them be what they want to be. Don't take anything away. I'm not a parent but that's common sense. Don't force that neutral gender bullshit on anyone.

Oh boy, Vodka is back with another bait post
Literally laughed when I saw the title of this thread.

First off: I’m not actually not a parent yet so I may not be able to give you the answer you are looking for.
Second: I don’t actually think everyone agrees that Gender neutrality is the right Corse of action.
Third: I would say there is nothing you can do about peer presser when your child is out of your care, so just raise him/her the way you would think best and hopefully he/she will stick with that mantra while he/she explores the world.
Finely: As for taking away “Boy toys” / “Girl toys” I feel that would do more harm then good, mostly because at that point its not what they like, its what you say they can like which may give rise to a false identity.
Regardless of it all, just remember to love your little ball of joy what ever may come, and enjoy the time you have together.

Bait or not, that's dumb as shit.

Let them play with whatever age appropiate toys they want and wear whatever color clothes they want, more than that is pretty much forcing the opposite gender on them like the parents who raised their son as a girl making him wear pink dresses since birth and buying him dolls.

Well you know it's all gender neutral and all until he shows his and she shows her's. Flamebait post obv, but lemme say this: let your kids be and do whatever they want, cycle all sort of information and see what they are interested in. Oh and don't teach boys that they are better cause they are stronger or teach girls they are better because they have something between their legs with which they can rule the world of men. Or teach them. Who cares rly?

Who all agrees? I know a shit ton of parents, who do not agree with this assertion. Hell I don't know a single parent that is raising their child as gender nuetral. I don't think it's as common as you are trying to make it out to be.
