Gender and dolls

Recent Mattel owners of Barbie announced they were going to create a range of Gender Neutral dolls so in theory at least the child can choose view it as it wants.

The first thing I will say is actually the bodies of the dolls look more female to me, particularly the faces even if eyebrows and lips have been made less obviously female or male.

And really that's where the problem with this starts because while any child has imagination and could create less gender conforming stories with props for their dolls in the end the appearance of all of us is determined through biology.

Hormones determine muscle, the shape of faces which when anyone medically transitioning from one gender to another becomes apparent: They look different apart from keeping breasts when it comes to female to male and penis and testicles because those things and a lot of internal 'plumbing' can't be easily reversed except by surgery and even then the internals are stuck.

You can argue for wide roles between the genders, equal pay and voting rights but in the end we are gendered to which no amount of after the fact human manipulation alters with significant numbers even regretting ultimately.

We don't get to chose our gender or to be genderless in reality, picking the parts only to write the script of what our gender means to us personally including our own choices about interests, hobbies and careers.

To further encourage children to believe against science that they can do so rather than finding themselves loving their bodies as they are to me is basically wrong.

I'd soon give boys and girls anatomically accurate male and female dolls to dress up, have fun playing with other kids with wither or not they play war games, hospital roles, caring for people and animals or whatever because that's the reality for all of us-we do what personally we're good at.

Left liberal gender politics doesn't belong in the world of Children especially when it sows confusion.
