I think they mean if it were a boy who identified as a girl, then it would be offensive. I don't know.

They are not my favorite people, but you already know this. Don't pretend for anyone. But this is a non issue to me.

Unless of course, it upset or was offensive, to the child, picking a gift. Not a bad idea, as I see some kids with other toy programs, that pick their own gift. Why not let the child pick their own gift, that way it is more exciting to them.

In this day and age, who is to say anymore what is right or wrong.

*deep sigh*
“I’m just trying to break down these gender stereotypes.” - he wants to get rid of gender characteristics and differences...for what?
I think that very few boys would be happy to receive barbie dolls and so on for Christmas. And the same thing about girls
He's just pathetic, isn't he? Perhaps he's forgetting that the makeups of boys and girls are different. There's no getting around it.

Yes, and all little girls want to be fashionistas and all little boys want to be basketball players . I hope you never have children--you may find yourself extremely disappointed that your children are individuals and don't fit into your pre-set, pre-approved little boxes.

Yes because girls don't like sports...
