   According to Mattel, they decided to release a tool that teaches kids that it's okay to be more than two genders, as these dolls are made to make non binary, gender fluid and trans kids feel comfortable playing with dolls that could be molded to suit them. 
   
   Apparently, they believe it's important to remove genders from dolls, so it'll show kids its okay to be whatever they want.  Meaning if your a boy that identifies as a girl at age 3 or 6 then that's okay.  Or if your a girl who wants to be a boy or gender fluid, then this is the doll you can relate to.  what are your thoughts on this?

   “Gender fluid” and “non-binary” is trendy nowadays. If you’re an adult and feel this way, it’s your business, but don’t push this on little children who barely have a grasp of the concept of gender and sexuality.

      Exactly. Don't push them to believe they have to fit a role. Let them see that they can be who they are. The only reason many feel they don't fit in is because of stereotypes and what they think they should be doing as a male or female.

   I think you both are right.   The reality is even kids in high school are barely figuring out who they are and what they like throughout life.   Let alone children who probably can't even count to a 100 yet or even 10.   I say let kids be kids.   Let them figure out what they want to be.   And once they turn 18 and they want to be a different gender then fine.  It's their choice but not before.

   What frets me to no end is the ignorance of this. The woke populous, to me, gets this all wrong. It's trying to stereotype boys and girls. If a boy wants to play with dolls, he's a boy who likes to play with dolls. If he wants to put on a dress he's a boy who likes to play dress up. Vice versa for girls who like to do rougher things. You can't change your gender. You can't change your kid's gender.
   
   Instead of telling kids it's ok to want to be another sex (which they can't be) why aren't we teaching them that boys and girls come with an infinite number of interests and desires, and each of them should feel comfortable being who they are, in their own skin.

   The fact that we have to explain something as simple as your gender that you were born with that you can't change, is just depressing.  These people say they LOVE science until science doesn't fit their agenda.  There's a reason medical doctors have to know your biological gender and not whatever you feel like being today is because if they give you the wrong treatment it could kill you.  All this gender-fluid nonsense is ridiculous.

      Well to be fair, I have no problem if an adult wants to be classified as gender fluid or whatever, as long as they're not doing anything illegal or hurting anyone else, then what they want to be classified as or do behind closed doors is nobody's business but their own.
      
      However, I think this toy is too dangerous of a propaganda tool to buy kids honestly.  Seriously, whoever thought this was a good idea needs to get their head examined, as no sane person would approve of something like this.
