"parents are never truly neutral about gender. regardless of which toys or clothes we buy them, we cannot but react in different ways to our sons and daughters"

That’s definitely true. Before their child is even born, parents assume what color they will like by their gender. Girls don’t have to wear pink and play with dolls while vous don’t have to wear blue and play with cars. This puts the child in a difficult stereotype, especially if they are transgender or part of the LGBTQ community in the future.
