mmm I mean I agree with you, kids should just be left to figure out what they like themselves whether that be clothes, colours, toys, school subjects etc, I just don't want it to be the case again of if you decide to go with the kitchen set you must be a girl, that is going backwards and that's what it sounds like when you're raising someone genderless until they decide if they like girls stuff or boys stuff. We really have come so far with this stuff since I was a kid/teen, it would be soul destroying for all that to be undone again
