It's been a while since a troll got me wound up as ''she'' did.
But my trust and faith has been restored in Karma - when she shared my page with such negative comments and abuse, Karma was restored by a fair few of her followers un-liking her page.
Very child-ish I know and I would never ever share a page with such a negative review.
Want to know why?
Well - It turns out the troll I blocked earlier is the page owner.. co-incidental, I think not.
Anyway, To get to the matter in hand, it was about an article, which I would prefer NOT to post on here, for fears the child will find it later in life (as someone rightly pointed out on my page!)
This said child in question, has been ''gender neutral'' for 5 years and only now the child has started school has the truth had to come out about his or her identity. (I am trying to write this as diplomatically as I can, please bare with me!)
Anyway, MY initial instincts of 'Gender Neutral' was just that - Neutral life-style, that would NOT be pink and blue, in fact just neutral colours, such as whites, yellows and even greens.
I think my initial stereo-typing got me into trouble tonight.
It actually turns out, this child in question is being made to persue into a female/male identity, regardless of it being ''neutral''. By this, I mean dressing of a particular colour and nature.
I have a great respect for those parents using 'gender neutral' method in their parenting, so long as it is not one-sided. For example purposes only; A beautiful little girl wore nothing but black trousers and jeans and played with trucks.
For me, neutral screams very gender neutral colours, as previously said, whites, yellows maybe even greens.
Otherwise, if you are going to let your girl dress in boy-items, can she at least have some 'normality' with a few pink things too for instance?
I am not willing for a debate on this, don't get me wrong - I just don't see how ''neutral'' can mean one sided gender neutralising!
I have never parented this method, so maybe I am indeed wrong and 'Gender Neutralising' does mean that the child can permanently be the opposite. It just doesn't seem very neutral to me - that's all I am saying.
When I read the said link (news article) I actually cried, I cried for that child will grow up being confused. I don't mean because of the neutralising, I mean for the one-sided story of this particular case.
Interestingly, I have picked this quote up from WikiPedia; However, it has been observed that gender neutrality in the law has changed the nature of custody disputes, making it less likely that women will be awarded custody of their children in the event of a divorce.
I also commented on the news article: '' I hope, pray and ask god for the social services on this story. I think this is diabolical. Pink frilly dresses but none of the other? This is NOT true Gender Neutral, this is simply a Mother fantasizing about the girl she never had.''
Anyway, That is all for now.
