Gael: What about deep-sea whales and stingrays?
Isabella: OK, sounds like someone wants a boy.
Gael: No, not at all. I'm just thinking of something that's not gendered. My sister Jazmin is trans, and she kinda had a tough time growing up.
Isabella: I never thought about that.
Gael: Yeah, no one does. We're socialized to think pink for girls and blue for boys, but what if we let our kid pick? You know? When they're old enough we let them decide if they want mermaids or monster trucks or both.
Isabella: I think that sounds perfect.
