He'll happily watch My Little Pony or various other girlcoded shows as well as a whole range of boycoded or neutral stuff, no problem.

He's never veered away from pink or especially gravitated towards blue: all the colours are represented in his clothing & toy selections.

Which means, in combo with his obliviousness to seeing/hearing that stuff perpetuated by other kids, that he doesn't parse TV gendercoding.

One of his fave shows right now is the Angry Birds cartoon series, which, like Pingu, has no dialogue beyond noises. Gender is visual only.

So whenever he sees this purple queen bird, who the internet tells me is called Gale, he just thinks it's a boy.pic.twitter.com/OnFyhNBguq

By the same token, he'll often refer to the blue or red or black birds as girls - it varies from time to time. But I absolutely love it.

Because the show has no dialogue! There's literally no reason why the purple bird can't be a boy or the red bird a girl bar gendercoding.

And while I'm sure that, at some point, he'll start absorbing some of the dominant view, the point is that it's demonstrably not innate.

Right now his idea of "what boys can wear" includes purple, pink, sparkly tiaras, winged eyeliner and capes, because why wouldn't it?

It's not even that he necessarily wants all that for himself; he just doesn't see that anything about it contradicts being a boy.

And honestly, whatever his adult preferences re fashion or anything else, I hope that never changes. FIN.

Historically; Roman emporers were all about purple. Egyptian pharohs loved themselves some winged eyeliner. Capes have always been awesome.
