blue = male
pink = female
white = the person didnt fill in their gender for some strange reason

EEEWWW! Girls get pink! Why can't they get black!? LOL XD

I don't see why it has to be pink...
Blue is a normal color, but pink is a "female" color. I'm a little tired of that, but hey, that's just my opinion...

Color's just for identification, as in, girls are stereotypically associated with pink and so on.

bmah, you could have said it in a nicer way. :-P

bmah · Jul 11, 2008 7:08 PM

I did. Notice that I said "stereotypically". If I didn't add that in, the sentence would then assume that girls are associated with the color pink. So I have no clue as to why you said that Doppel.

bmah's right, for a long time now its bee pink for girls and blue for boys, its usually associated with newborn children so it makes it easy for people to decide what colour clothes and toys and stuff to get a baby

its a stereotype, but its one thats pretty deeply rooted in society, it hasnt been until fairly recently that any large number of males have dared wearing pink shirts because in the past they would have been teased for it, i personally dont wear it still because i do consider it a girly colour and i just dont like it, its too... cheerful?

There's nothing wrong with males wearing pink...there's a boy around my neighborhood who wears skirts and rainbows, but I really don't see a problem in that.

Pink is actually pretty hot for the right men. Metrosexuals often like pink. /random fact

...whilst ill defend to the death his right to choose to wear skirts and rainbows, it seems that he is suffering from gender confusion, life is going to be very hard for him

its not like theres a specific reason that only girls where skirts (since men in scotland wear kilts) but our society has made skirts a female only form of attire, so unless this boy is dancing around in girls clothing to protest gender descrimination, id say its a safe bet that he's suffering from a not too uncommon problem where he's been born with male genetalia but an excess of female hormones

and i never said wearing pink was bad, i said i dont wear pink due to my own beliefs, im not a huge fan of bright cheery colours, i wear white/black/kharki etc.

Yeah, its a stereotype, and lets not speak anything else of it, otherwise i'm going to get all depressed again.....

id say its a safe bet that he's suffering from a not too uncommon problem where he's been born with male genetalia but an excess of female hormones

GID is not caused by excess of female hormones, everything in they're body is of the male gender, except the gender depiction in their brain. Making them pure male/female but they think they're a female/male or want to be female/male.

But yeah, theres other reasons this person may be wearing skirts or rainbows such as the fight between gender descrimination like fletch said.
