20 yrs ago when my daughter was born I took a yr of Women's Studies so I could understand the social issues facing her. The only man in the class, I learned that gender was something that society assigned to you; that society expected certain ROLES & behaviour (gender) from your biological assignment.

 -- So I strove to raise my daughter GENDER-LESS. I attempted to counter gender influences by stressing the opposite. So she received trucks as toys, tool kits & was told that Barbys were stupid. Many of her friends were boys playing with swords, hiking & tree-climbing. As a teen she fell in with the gay kids & the odds. As an adult she wants to be a man & rejects that old time feminist argument that gender is a set of social expectations and dress. Gender is a valued RIGHT!

 -- Today leftists & feminists insist that gender roles R a choice. Well, looks like I programmed my child to make the only choice available to s/him: the gender role that s/he was immersed in. Failed experiment.
