I just think it's a bit odd but odd doesnt equate to wrong.

I guess my family had 3 children - I'm the oldest and have been a girly girl all my life, my brother was a boy but not massively masculine and my youngest sister was a proper tomboy she went through a phase where she refused to be called by her first name insisting on being called robert or one of the teenage ninga mutant turtle i.e. leonardo or donatello etc. She hated most things about girlyness and my parents let her be who she was. Now she is pretty girly, she still likes rough and tumble play but she wears dresses and make up and so on.

So yeah I think if you raise your children to be children then this whole gender neutral malarky seems pointless
