A preschool in Sweden that makes a big effort to avoid introducing any gender expectations about the children:

Or is it just a bit too artificial?

I would love to send my DC to a school like that as I think it gives the children the freedom to explore their likes and dislikes outside the restraints of gender stereotypes. I think it's a very positive idea.

sounds great in principle.Only thing I have any reservations about is avoiding use of the personal pronouns him/her - from a language development point of view that could be a bit confusing, especially if a child has a language delay.

Too far-

I would hazard a guess that it would in fact not be neutral be emasculated, which quite a lot of people seem to equate to gender neutral

What do you mean, Something? Why emasculated, not defeminised?
