I get really sick of people trying so hard. Can't they relax and enjoy thier kids? This totally!!! I think the whole concept is interesting but yeah, just let your kids be kids and have fun with them. I personally think imposing that kind of pressure on them from such a young age is ridiculous.

Just read this. Wow. I think this kind of idea may work in a complete 'utopia' but we don't have that. The world is far from perfect. Our gender is a fundamental part of who we are, so to deny the child the option of acknowledging 'its' gender is just plain wrong to me. I agree with what's been said - by trying to make the child growing up this way they are in fact forcing their own decision on it, which I think goes against what they're supposedly trying to do. I'd never force a girl to play with toy cars and soldiers, or a boy to play with dolls, or vice versa. Just let them grow up into whoever they're going to be. Nutters.

Gender identity struggles affect EVERYONE ALIVE TODAY in one way or another... is that really the MOST important thing in the kids' lives? tell you what - in THIS family, it sure will be. Dorks. Amen. I am fully aware of the issues with gender identity and the role that society plays in it. But if these parents are genuinely as open-minded and supportive as they claim to be, then the LAST thing they should be worried about is that their kids will struggle with gender identity and feel the need to conform. Dorks.
