There are certainly some parents who try very hard not to push gender stereotypes on their kids. And there are always boys who are drawn to traditionally girl stuff and girls drawn to traditionally boy stuff.

The fact that the gender cues are so pervasive makes a child with one set of genitalia identify as the other even more amazing. Biology is not always destiny.
