Where Have All The Baby Clothes Gone? (or) Which Is It, Only Two Or More Than Two?

Since there's a new squirrel being added to our rave*, Meg and I were wondering about the baby section at the store, looking at clothes, when I realized something.  The only baby clothing available is gender specific.

So, in spite of all this talk about how gender is a social construct, and there are more than two genders, and assuming someone's gender is some sort of abuse, the fashion industry has stubbornly adhered to the idea that there is "boy" or "girl" as the only two options.


(shrug) I know, that was my thought too.  The fashion industry, supporting the concept of only two genders.  Who'd'a thunk?

Now off to scour the interwebbings to try to locate Fanta, a kangaroo, and more ridiculous gifs for use here and elsewhere.  Because I can.



*As for the previous joke, I stole it from here:


Those of you who are parents or preschool teachers will understand the joke.  Everyone else probably won't understand the "adding" part, unless they remember I mentioned last month that we're waiting for Kiddo #4.
