Elizabeth joined us from San Francisco – she is founder of Stereotype Kids which was set up because her Boy / Girl twins didn’t want to be restricted to wearing their own clothes and wanted to wear each others. 

We chatted about: 

• Why Elizabeth feels it’s important to challenge traditional views on boys and girls clothing and to allow the children to dress for joy rather than what they ‘should’ be wearing’. 
• Friends and family reactions to the children wearing clothes that they didn’t think they should be. 
• ‘Dressing is expressing’ - how this is where Elizabeth wants her children to be and feel comfortable in what they wear with no limits. 
• Dressing children (not just twins etc) in the same clothes and how Elizabeth feels about that. 
• Individuality and the importance of allowing children to express their personality / style etc. 
• Stereotype – which is a gender inclusive clothing line. “You were born to stand out” is their tagline. 
• Matching outfits as a family.  
• Responding and reflecting if your child wants to wear something you don’t want them to and allowing them to do this freely. 
• What if other children or adults (or you) have an adverse reaction to what your children are wearing. 
• School uniforms and the responsibility schools have to ensure gender equality in what the children can wear. 
• Slogans on tops and colours for children of both genders.
