Society is becoming more non-gendered for kids thankfully. They still separate clothes for 'boys' and 'girls,' but toys are no longer separated that way. My daughter didn't even understand the concept until she started going to antique malls with us and I would run into things like GI Joe figures and had to explain the whole idea of "GI Joe is for boys, Barbie is for girls" that was forced on me by society in the 80s.
There was a boy in my elementary school who had a Cabbage Patch Kid and got made fun of for it. Hopefully that, at least, is becoming less of an issue.
I know that one of my daughter's close friends, who is trans, still gets a lot bullying, but he's also in middle school, so anyone not "normal" is bullied. I'm not sure if it's bigotry or just standard middle schoolers being assholes.
Why are you banned?
