Of course society has the most impact, that's the point of it, to kill these predetermined gender roles that everybody is just automatically meant to sign up to. But there are problems with this, people that fall outside of the gender binary and wish not to identify themselves as one particular gender face all sorts of psychological issues.
These two blogs explain the distinction between sex and gender that people must first comprehend before they can fully understand gender neutral parenting. I would really recommend everyone reading these, they explain it very well and articulate it better that I'll be be able to in this topic.
