Not having a kid, and having gone to a very very liberal college, I agree with you completely.
I'm not sure what the point is of TRYING to teach your kid gender identity. Why, even in the 1950's would you need to/want to do that?
I'm also with you on gender being a small part of my personal identity. I almost consider the adjective "geeky" to fill the niche in my identity that "masculine" or "feminine" would fill otherwise...
