it's the choice of the parents, without direction. Imagine a Muslim saying to mass read internal jihad that has no control in the context of an authority body. Sexual preference is the label correct? Why not do it as a Canadian and no need to announce a subject that is private to most? "The Princess Knight takes readers on an empowering journey with Princess Violetta, who defies traditional gender roles by becoming a knight. As she dons armor and embarks on heroic quests, Violetta challenges the notion that certain roles are limited by gender. The book sends a powerful message that every child should be free to follow their dreams." So gender is not a requirement if you read children's book that is past 6 months they only use the name as a reference. It confusing to a child when they are learning the biological components. So teach quantum physics before basic physics. It only creates issues. Please excuse the bluntness, I am giving children a voice as a father of 2.
