Unless the child is born Intersexed
I'm against this kind of parenting. I don't see how this is helping children being raised this way. Unless the child says he/she isn't why create void that will could confuse the child. Not to mention affect his/her socializing with other children.
Now I am in favor of gender neutral toys and colors. Remove the stigma of pink for boys and crap like that. Let a boy plays with dolls if he wants or a girl with trucks..etc
If you have a baby boy, raise him as a boy until he says he is a girl. If he wants to play dressup let him. He can do that and still be a boy (and vice versa). If you have a girl, raise her as a girl, until she says she's a boy. If she wants to play tackle football, let her.
If the child is intersex, don't assign a gender, especially NO surgery until he/she tells you what they are.
You can love your child without messing with their socialization with other children and by extension other parents (who might not want their kids to play with the weird kid).
If You Care That Much
Parents who make that kind of effort most likely are nurturing and loving.
Not necessarily, but odds are they're not complete jerks.
It's improbable that they can screw up too bad given that start.
Parenting is one of those things that you outgrow just when you're getting good at it.
That's why all grandparents are perfect.
