Out today with DD(2) wearing a puddle suit as where we were was very muddy. I put her in this

Absolutely everyone referred to her as ‘he.’ It doesn’t bother me and in fairness the puddle suit is a hand me down from her brother but I’d have thought the outfit was definitely neutral rather than boy?

It must be hair - there are so many children at the local primary school with pony tails I assume are girls, only to be corrected. Most girls are wearing trousers at this time of year.

But having said that, I also get names wrong as well - I assumed Harper was a girl - nope, boy. I assumed Kimmy was a girl, nope boy (Kimberley), I assumed Sue was a girl, nope boy (written Sioux) - all in my granddaughter's class.

Having said that, my daughter who had two long blond plaits, was repeatedly referred to as 'he' during a dental appointment - she was wearing a blue gingham school dress - I didn't correct the dentist. Never fathomed that one.

Maybe they liked the Johnny Cash song 'A boy named Sue (Sioux)' 😂it's one of my favourites!

It’s a very cute rain outfit!

Some people are weirdly rigid about gendered clothing. I’d just ignore it if I were you.

My youngest used to constantly get called a girl, even in a blue babygro with little brother on the front.
People used to be almost disappointed he was a boy, "Oh he's far too pretty to be a boy" was a regular comment.
