What mia means by gender neutral is that she dresses Mabel up in every colour but pink. She wouldn’t refer to mabel as a girl or she , if she was raised gender neutral. In my opinion I think raising a child gender neutral is so confusing!! IM all for children being who they want to be but they’re children. As they get older yes make them aware if they ask about gender, i feel raising your child gender neutral selfishly for your peace of mind as a parent if they even came to you can said they feel they’re not who they are... children of mabels age especially will not understand and gender neutralists really inflict confusion! As my daughter get older, I allow them to make choice based on what they play with and what they wear but mia is doing the complete opposite with Mabel, pushing her into certain aesthetic to appear “gender neutral” is not raising her neutral
I know this is such a touchy subject and this is just my opinion!
I know people and children who are raised gender neutral and they’re incredibly introverted and confused children and the parents overlook it as “I’m doing what’s right for them” you can see that people don’t want to be friends with these children in case they offend them,not because they’re gender neutral! It’s so heartbreaking.
