I can't beleive (yet I can) we're still having to deal with this ignorant nonsense. I am a straight woman, I played with trucks, climbed trees, had a tool set and spent countless hours with my father building stuff and working on cars. Wanna know what that made me? It made me able to take care of myself. Tire goes flat, I got it. A drawer in the kitchen falls apart, got that too. Oil needs changing, no problem.

As for a kitchen set, seriosuly? I rasied 3 boys, all straight (but if they were gay, so fucking what). They played with whatever they wanted, dolls, kitchen sets, whatever. I taught them to cook and sew a botton on. I taight them how to do laundry. You know what that made them? Able to take care of themselves.

There's no such thing as gendered toys! Thank you for writing this.
