IMO, its the nurture of the parents and the environment.

So then what do you care what your friends think?  If you think it is nurture and environment, why does it matter if you find out the sex now or when it comes out?  If you don't want your girl to act like a boy, then don't buy her any trucks.  

My girl loves to push trucks around the house! Does this mean I'm going to be getting her fitted for a nut cup in her future? 

Chicken please tell me that you have seen the picture of the little boy naked and COVERED in maxi pads.  It could be worse, your little boy could use maxi pads.


I let my son play with tampons, he thinks they are the greatest!  and I don't need them right now.



FTM's use our knowledge. If you need to get ready and your SO isn't around to take care of your kid than bring the youngin with you in the bathroom and give them a box of tampons and pads to play with. I had to use this trick when getting ready for a wedding while DH was at a Nascar race.

My mom use to do that. I grew up thinking pads were just giant stickers and would stick them all over the house.

I think she's staring at the gender neutral nursey and wonder who to identify with.

My DS loves "putting on" makeup and making himself "pretty".

He's doomed for confusion right?

Or does all the trucks and mud and dirt balance that out?

I'm not even going to respond to OP because, you ladies have said it all.  I have laughed a lot and will be sure to give my LO some tampons and/or pads to play with when I need her distracted!

I keep reading the post/question? Too weird for me.

My only issue with people letting their kids play with tampons is they're expensive. But hey whatever keeps them amused.

Oof. As someone who has loved someone who is transgender/genderqueer this post makes my eyeballs bleed. However, on a positive note...living in Texas, it's nice to see so many women voice supportive opinions towards gender indentity/fluidity. yay

My parents gave me a primary color nursery. Hmmmm... Maybe that's why I don't like the color pink and loved teenage mutant ninja turtles as a child..... :-/ doubt it and I feel like I turned out fine.

OP I highly disagree that the colors of the nursery are going to impact the child. It's more of a parental decorating project for your little one. Neutral nurseries are not a new thing these days

OP, please point me to someone "bashing" you.  Your post was just very confusing and you were asked for more information about how you thought your child would suffer from "gender identity issues".  Do you mean you are afraid they will be confused if they don't have a nursery that's pink or blue?

To answer your question (maybe...I'm just guessing here)...we found out the sex of our daughter at 20 weeks.  I chose to decorate her nursery in blues and greens because I like the ocean.  She shows a preference for purple, enjoys digging in and eating the dirt, playing with her toy kitchen, putting on necklaces, and eating dog fur.  I'm not sure what that all says about how comfortable she is about her "gender identity" but I'm thinking she's pretty secure and happy with who she is?

We have a black cocker spaniel and I can't tell you how many times I've pulled wads of black fur/hair out of DD's mouth!

I am stopping now. My questions are not being answered, I am just being bashed on what I say.  Good bye, forum.

Sigh. Siggy fail.

This is all confusing me and makes me want to drink.
