I have a relative who has kids (I'm in the US) and he and their mother have both said they fear having their kids come out as gay. They push gender stereotypes hard on the kids. When my wife and I are around the children, we promote anti-gendered stereotypes when we can. It broke my heart when the little girl said "girls don't do archery, girls do cheerleading" during a conversation with her about what sports she is interested in. Those kids are going to need therapy. Let them be what they want to be.

We have those people here in EU and Switzerland as well..

So many still use “it is looking gay” as synonym for “I don’t like how it looks” here

My spouse asks all his friends who decide to have kids how they would feel about their potential sons wearing dresses. So far thankfully no weird responses.

My oldest nephew loves sequin shirts and shares them with his sisters but he's huge into tractors and farming stuff. Let's see how this turns out :D

Letting kids just be kids is something that feels like such a no brainer but we still have such a long way to go there.. it's sad but I feel like things can become better!
