I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

Spent so much cognitive effort making sure my kids didn't feel hamstrung by gender roles. Wound up with two kids who identify at least partly as non-binary, and have chosen their roles as much on their own as I think they can reasonably do.

Of course both of them, hilariously, wound up choosing incredibly typical gender-aligned stuff. The "amab" NB kid loves machines, Lego, spaceships, engineering, explosions, and anything STEM. The "afab" NB kid loves puppies, pink stuff, flowers, dresses, helping with household chores, cooking, and scorpions. Typical girl stuff.

Not ascribing any deeper meanings. I just think it's cute and funny.
