Many stores honoring parents' requests for 'gender-neutral' kids' clothing
Associated Press ^ | July 25, 2016

Pink for girls. Truck motifs for boys. A growing number of parents want to get outside those parameters when it comes to dressing their kids.

Kristin Higgins was adamant about not pushing "girly" stereotypes on her daughter, and painted her room in shades of green. Higgins later dressed her up in superhero costumes. But as her daughter got older, it took more work to locate items that broke the mold. For "Star Wars"-themed pajamas, she had to go to the boys' section.

"It's hard to find gender-neutral clothing," said Higgins, 35, of Little Rock, whose daughter is now 6. "I want her to just get up and put on the clothing without thinking of putting on a costume, an identity."

“Growing number?” I can’t for the life of me, imagine the number of people requesting this is too large to count on one hand.

Isn’t the GI Jane/tomboy look a stereotype all its own? And I thought the point of gender neutral was to let the child make her own decisions, including being a girly-girl.

It’s merely Munchausen by proxy syndrome posing as virtue.

Honor this. If you are child abusing your child with homosexual crap — you need government intervention and say “Bye Bye” to that poor child.

Whatever. The biggest challenge I’ve faced is with clothing for girls once they grow out of 6x. From then on it’s all the same slinky stuff. Cute clothes everywhere until first grade and then it’s a time consuming hunt.

If my kids are typical at all, gender neutral clothing is not high on the priority list.

I am pretty sure my 5 year old granddaughter would set you straight if you disagreed with this.

This is hardly a blip of a movement, and the national attention of this article is a just an attempt to help it along, rather than just report on it.

Accompanied by all the secular humanist “truisms” that recognizing sex differences is bad, unless it happens in the case of someone who wants to assume the sex that they’re not.

“I don’t believe any of this BS.”

Me neither. I was at walmart on the weekend and no parent would do this. It’s just another BS article from your leftard friends of the AP. The AP loves faggot stories that’s for sure.
