Trolling Target

[80sFan]

When I went to high school girls could only take Home Ec, they could not take Shop--only boys could--and vice versa. These days either gender can take the class they would like rather than having it limited to one gender or the other so it would now be considered gender neutral. With toys it would be that dolls would not be considered to be only for girls or trucks only for boys. The intent is to stop putting limitations on what people can do simply because of their gender.

Boys and girls had to take both in 7th & 8th grade when I was in school.

When your child asks you, answer; you are a boy, (or you are a girl, dependent on whether they were born with an innie or an outie).

But do not say, you are a boy so you cannot play with those pink blocks. Or, you are a girl, so must play with only pink blocks.

And if in the future your son comes to you and says "I'm a girl" just accept that as a fact and love her.

This, also makes perfect sense. So much so that I wondered why it was an issue at all; I don't care in the least what my son decides to play with. I had Barbies and played dress-up like other girls, but I also had Tonka trucks and played shoot-em-up-bang with my friends. It never crossed my mind to think I was anything but ordinary.

And of course I will love my son no matter who--or what--he chooses to be. My main concern is that he grows to be a good, honorable person. I don't care in the least if he says he's a swinger, or gay, or trans, or whatever.

Thanks for taking the time to explain all this weirdness to me!

First of all, I can't believe this is an issue.

Secondly, that guy is hilarious! He should write for something, for real.
