absolutely not, because AS WE ALL KNOW houses are gender specific DO NOT let your male child play with a small house or he will turn gay and ruin our marriages. do NOT let your female child play with a car that is not pink she will turn butch and again, ruin our marriages, because girls don't drive cars. and plEASE don't give your male child a doll, because as we all know, humans ARE gender specific and never forget if it's pink do not let your sons near it run away pink, a color, will turn then gay and ruin our marriages OK, take your LGBT hate somewhere else please. we have feelings too you know, how would feel being hated just for doing nothing wrong? it hurts seeing people say things like this, how not bding straight is bad, it hurts more then you realize. we didnt choose to be Gay, Les or any other sexuality, fate did and no one can change that. so, stop hating when you dont understand. I'm sorry you were hurt by my post, however I won't apologize for making it. It was totally sarcastic and I absolutely do understand. I'm gay myself and have been told, to my face, so many awful things about how it's wrong to be who I am, I've had to sit through dinners with extended family (who im not out to)as they talk about how disgusting it is. My intent is never to harm people and I am genuinely disappointed that it did hurt your feelings, I hope you'll be able to understand and put this behind us.

@crysolis wait, you're only 12? You know that they can ban you for being under 13 right? No, she was being sarcastic.

If my child was transgender then, I wouldn't really know what to do. I would kind of feel like I failed as a parent, not to offend anyone by the way. you can't fail as a parent by having a trans kid. you fail as a parent by not being accepting of your child, regardless of sexuality, gender etc. how would you like it if you were trans and your parents didn't accept you? i hope you won't be one of those parents that kicks their kid out of the household because they aren't the ''social norm''

Definitely!
When I have kids someday, I plan on letting them play with whatever they want/find interesting. Same goes for joining extracurriculars. If I have a girl and she wants to play with trucks and take up wrestling, I'd let her. If I have a boy and he wants to play with dolls and go to ballet lessons, I'd let him.
As a girl who never bothered with dolls growing up, it didn't impact my femininity (I still love makeup, manicures, and gushing over cheesy movies). I just played with stuffed animals instead, I enjoyed them more and I loved animals and learning about them growing up, and now viola, I'm a bio student!

Honestly I only played with legos, hot wheels and pokemon cards as a kid, which are all more 'male oriented' things. And I do think it impacted my ability to understand females (I really don't lol) but I also think that's just the way I am and growing up playing with more masculine toys didn't cause, but rather was a result of how I am.
Makeup still doesn't make sense to me like why do you want to put all that on your face? I just can't understand that. xD
But yeah I think that while kids are impressionable, that's exactly why we shouldn't force gender stereotypes on them at a young age. While I do think they should be encouraged to try new things and not completely abandon one side, only buying a girl dolls does give the wrong idea. Kids can't really make many choices, so I think they should be able to choose in little things like choosing a toy. I think I read some study that letting a kid make choices young --even if it's just about something so simple as where to go on a walk or what color pencil to write in-- helps encourage growth and confidence later on in life.
