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."

There may be one or two oddball parents, but 99 and 44/100% of parents don’t go for this crapola.

Gender-neutral kids clothing makes sense. It’s easier to pass on to the younger siblings.

Parents have a duty to encourage proper gender identification....boys should act like boys and girls like girls...

sorry, that's just the way it is....

its a socialization thing...manners, dress, ways of speaking, etc...

it does absolutely no good to encourage your boys to wear pink or play with dolls....they will be laughed at and teased and belittled by school kids...

why would one set their kids up for this?....why?
