P!nk Raising Willow Gender Neutral

[DiscoHeaven23 35,007]

This is great. I'm thinking of doing this when I have kids

 

"We are a very label-less household," Pink said. "Last week, Willow told me she is going to marry an African woman. I was like, 'Great!'" 

Willow said, "... And we are going to live with you while our house is getting ready."

 

Pink:

"The bathroom outside the kindergarten said, 'Gender Neutral, Anybody,' and it was a drawing of many different shapes," she said. "I took a picture of it and I wrote: 'Progress.' I thought that was awesome. I love that kids are having this conversation."

What a great mother and role model

In case I need to use that bathroom, I hope I can use it. Do they have a pathetic stick-like figure on its door?

this will be a hard childhood for her, but a great decision

So is she gonna tell her she's neither male nor female? Or just raise her without societies preconceived notions of gender?

i was raised gender neutrally and it caused so many issues for me, i just hope i'm an isolated case

Good for her  so when Willow is old enough she will be able to identity how she wants to in a supportive environment

She is the best mom ever, I love her so much.

she said they have a label-less household so i just imagine that means if Willow wants barbie, she can have barbie or if she wants soccer, she can have soccer

there's no "NO, that is for BOYS/GIRLS" nonsense which is how i plan to raise my kids

She's so cute, apparently she prefers Sia's music over her mums & requests it on carpool journeys

I get the whole thing but isn't that going to cause some issues? Like, it's part of the identity and since everyone else is being raised different...

i'm sure it's hard with society not being on the same page as P!nk's forward thinking views. But it sounds like Willow goes to a progressive school (and lives in one of the most progressive areas in the US), so for Willow I'm sure she'll have it easier than some other kids.

i guess it's better than telling Willow she has to wear pink and wear dresses because she was born a female, it's just some freedom to let the child explore and hopefully Willow won't be too scared to ask any questions

I dont know what to say about it. I’m kinda uneducated about the topic. I think it’s alright as someone said if she can play with barbies and soccer! But I guess this gender neutral thing could cause some issues as she grows and explores her sexuality... if someone knows some article about this, please share with me, I’d love to read about it!!!
