Funny thing, is that pink has become an "acceptable" male color...just still not for babies. People get too easily confused I guess.

Last year my eldest was a member of Drum Line at his school. They played at a benefit for a local artist who is fighting cancer. They decided to wear pink shirts in her honor. He wasn't too crazy about it until he saw the older school mates in theirs. My youngest boy, on the other hand, will wear any color that catches his eye on that particular day and has happily played dolls with his twin sister, just as long as she in turn plays video games with him.

I think the more pressure we put on the kids to "act like their gender" the more issues we cause in the long run.
