McDonald's had the nerve to ask my child's gender!

I think she's one of those science deniers.
So damaging.
My dog started squatting when he pees. Normally I'd chalk it up to him getting older and arthritic in his legs.... but on the other hand I also suspect he's trying to tell me he's decided to identify as a female. I KNEW we shouldn't have cut off his balls when he was a pup!

Normally I don't care too much but my son, who thus far is still a boy, wanted the "girl toy" but had enough awareness to notice when they called it a girl toy, even though he's not a girl.

Toys should be toys and kids should be kids and be allowed and encouraged to play with whatever they want with no stigma.

Most likely. But he'll get to be whomever he decides to be, because I'm not an asshole.

I thought fast food restaurants had stopped the gender classification of toys in kid's meals?

Do you think he will be less of what he wants to be when he grows up if you acknowledge that he is a boy?

Give it 30 more minutes and I'm sure they'll be forced to do so.
