Traditional gender roles have a negative impact,
especially on children. Traditional gender roles can absolutely make a child
believe the worst about themselves and their abilities; the subsequent stigmas
negatively affect a child’s psyche. Young children exposed to traditional
gender roles will be more likely to perpetuate them later in life. Everyone can
benefit from gender-neutral parenting. Some people totally miss the point of
gender neutral parenting and proceed to spread the wrong information.
Gender-neutral parenting is not trying to erase gender by being completely
against femininity or masculinity, does not alter your child’s sexuality, and
is not only for parenting trans* children. Children should be raised without
traditional gender roles and as gender-neutral as possible to allow them to
develop their own identity and ideas about gender and sexuality in general and
in regards to themselves.
