I'm not sure about the t-shirts.

My personal view is that I'm not sure I would put children in clothes that were:

- Making an overt political statement
- Had something written on them that they couldn't fully understand (unless it was entirely uncontroversial).

I realise others may think differently, but it makes me a little uncomfortable: almost treating the kid like a placard.

Same here. Though I agree with the sentiment of them entirely!

I love the t-shirts, but I feel they might be a bit much to actually put on a child. Feels a bit too much like wrapping her up in my ideas, which is rather what they are protesting about in the first place...
I may get her the blue 'Girl' one though!

I was *sure* they were sarcastic. They weren't?

Coz there were none for boys... which would seem relevant.

Hmm they might be spoofs.
It'd be a lot of effort for just making a point though. ... hang on, wait a minute, this is the internet. People will do ANYTHING to make a point!

Yeah.

I actually have no idea what's real and what's satire these days.

It's alright for you. I'm just a character created to make a point in an argument!

Technically... very technically... I'm fictional too. :)

There are several which seem to be non-gender-specific. "My dad makes cupcakes and my mum has a Ph. D.", for example.
