When I was pregnant, almost every nurse, doctor or lab technician asked me the same question: so you guys aren’t finding out the gender, huh? To which, I replied the same way to each medical professional: well, there’s no way to know, is there?

Without fail, the person always looked at me like I’d landed from Mars. But I stuck to my guns: until there’s an ultrasound that can detect a teeny-tiny Barbie house or Thomas The Tank Engine inside a woman’s womb, no parent or doctor on earth can determine the gender of any baby (at least, not until he or she is much older, and then, it might still be a pretty difficult assessment).

Many folks make this mistake. They confuse sex (anatomy, which we can detect in the womb) and gender (a social construction, think “masculinity” and “femininity,” which we can not)— especially when it comes to young children.

And many parents will go way out of their way to police the gender boundaries for their own kids and even kids they’ve never met before.

Just ask Mallory May. Yesterday, the Manhattan mother and her three-year-old son, Oscar were photographed by Brandon Stanton, a local blogger who runs Humans of New York, a site that describes itself as a photographic census of the city— and boy did the picture set off a firestorm of Facebook controversy. There was little Oscar, prancing around his neighborhood, proudly dressed in one of his brand new Halloween costumes: a princess.

Do Single Moms do this on purpose so there won’t be another woman in their son’s life that they’ll have to compete with?

Liberals would ignore us, but they can’t get by without two things: our money for their hedomism and our kids for their perversions.

If anybody tried to put an outfit like that on one of my
grandsons they’d pull back a bloody stub!

Am I wrong or is it mostly women and gays who are obcessed with gender identity? Not to mention they try and force gender roles on children?
I can remember being a little boy playing pretend and noone would play the part of a fairy.
Infact, you would try to get the other fellow to be the fairy as an insult.

When my boys were about 3, they *really* wanted some fluffy little tutus they saw at the store. Also, at a recent playdate, they had dressed up in the hostess little girl’s princess outfits and had a grand ol’ time. I didn’t panic. I realized what my boys *wanted* — that I hadn’t given them yet — was costumes! I went out and got them some high-bling “boy” costumes — pirates, etc. — and they were happy as clams. No asking for tutus anymore. I think that these liberal moonbats interpret the kids asking for *costumes* as asking for girlie stuff. ALL little kids like costumes! But I think little boys who *insist* on girlie stuff, after being offered boy costumes, are few and far between.

First off, this mom is one sick puppy, deranged, and hardly "enlightened.."

Second, my anecdote is completely unscientific, but merely an observation--and an interesting one at that.

I have two kids. A four year old daughter, and an 11 month old son. My daughter's room is strewn about with all sorts of "girl stuff"--i.e. princess pictures, girl toys, headbands, barrettes, ya know... "girl stuff"... she also has an assortment of matchbox cars (more on that later), megablocks (huge lego-like blocks), and these fisher-price trio blocks (these are pink, its the "girl edition")...

So anyway, my son crawls into his sister's room constantly.. wanting to play with her toys, he's always going for the cars, the blocks, the mega blocks, or the trio toys (they're not quite like legos, but you build stuff with 'em)... never mind there's a tea set, a metric ton of dolls, my little pony, princess wands, play jewelery, tiaras, etc... he ALWAYS goes for the blocks or the mega blocks, or trio toys... the mega blocks are not pink, and the wooden blocks are the same wooden blocks you and i grew up with... okay, we have not taught my son that a specific toy is a girl toy, or a boy toy... he just goes for the toys he likes... and they just happen to the toys boys like...

about the matchbox cars, my daughter loved the little cars when she was a baby, and she still plays with them.. funny thing, though, she doesn't like them as much as her "girl toys.."

i dunno.. seems like its a pretty natural inclination, unless it is "skewed" by the likes of this idiotic mother we just read about...

ANyone thinking this is not what sharia is all about is a fool. Women are going to lose big on this, but only liberals can use fronts like these and claim “they did not know”, like Germans during Hitler.

It’s called homosexuals grooming small boys for sodomy. That’s not a joke.
