Parents choose what clothes to give their children. Once you realize this, you can't even!

We tend to go with the absolute minimum of unnecessarily gendered clothing for our little one. People assume she's a boy all the time. Like, with zero other info besides seeing the clothes/toys/stroller etc.

I find it to be a bit creepy tbh, so when it happens I try to avoid giving a correction and just make an exit.

I feel like you're purposefully missing the point

The girls' section will have prey animals present, but they will hardly be the only things on offer. Neutral colors/patterns, landscapes, and many other options are all prominent.

I think it's more interesting to point out that boys generally aren't allowed to wear things like bunnies, either by their families or society.
