“

Teach your daughters how to fix cars, survive a week in the wilderness, repair a pipe that burst, and love themselves without the frill. 

Teach your sons how to braid hair, bake a homemade pie, sew a hem, communicate raw emotion, and clean a house.

Then teach your daughters to braid and bake and sew and communicate and clean. And your sons to fix cars and survive and repair and love themselves.

And while you do all of that realize that if you choose to confine your child within their gender, you will degrade their potential by 50%.
