Why I Don't Like Being Called A 'Gender Neutral Parent'

I think everything she says is essentially true, except that I don't like giving in to the anti-gender-neutral pressure: I know parents who are more towards gender neutral parenting than that[1], and I think it would be healthier if we were closer to that overall.

[1] Not forcing children to make non-gendered choices, but not perpetuating any gendered expectations, or defaulting to gender neutral language until the child expresses preferences.
