Maybe I’m wrong since I’m not a parent, but isn’t that just a kid being a kid?

When my youngest brother was really wee, he asked me to paint his nails and put cute bows in his hair, dress him like a princess and then he’d go and play with trains, he was just a kid being a kid. His favourite colour was pink for years. Now he’s just a typical young lad. Kids liking things isn’t an indication of anything.

Yes, it's just kid being a kid. This kid is just unlucky being born to regressive parents...

Of course. Kids will be anything, one day they're dinosaurs, the next they're apple trees. And kids are super impressionable, so they'll just repeat whatever their parents and society tells them because they want acceptance and affirmation.

I wonder how this will continue to play out, because the TRAs really took gender roles and really reinforced them.
