   This warms my heart. As a kid, I remember thinking that the “pink vs. blue” / “girls vs. boys” mindset was bullshit. I was new to the planet and the gender binary didn’t make sense to me. I wish I had been empowered enough at that age to question my classmates about these assumptions (on camera no less!)
   My heart breaks a to hear a grown woman saying that she wishes a boy wouldn’t wear so much pink. When I was a child, I took what adults said as The Truth™ but these kids seem completely unfazed. I’m thankful for the supportive adults in their lives that gave them that camera.

   I love those little kids, especially the little boy! I hope I raise kids as enlightened as them.

   Rock on, Merlin!
   Who died and decided pink was “girly”? Okay, not well-phrased, but the stereotype is stupid. And, as I’ve said before, pink is a shade of red, so girls don’t even get our own full color. Good for him to reclaim the shade!
