6M really loves My Little Pony - trying to be open minded

This feels like such a silly concern but I am trying to do the best I can to be a good mom. My son LOVES My Little Pony, it’s one of the only things he watches. He has some of the toys and markers - but he wants the bedding and some other things. For Christmas he circled basically every single MLP toy in the Target Xmas toy guide. I sort of don’t know if I want him to have an entire pink/purple room with rainbows and unicorns and pony’s with “cutie marks” all over, especially because I know he is towards the tail end of this particular phase.My main concern is that it makes me feel mildly uncomfortable because I’m worried he will be picked on, and I don’t want my own anxiety over it to make him feel like he can’t be himself and like what he likes. He already does gymnastics and loves it but the entire gym (and his class) is filled with only girls. He also loves rainbows and bright colors and one of his favorite colors is pink (the other is blue).I don’t want to put him in the gender stereotype box of “boy only toys”. I actually prefer him watching MLP over the Five Nights At Freddy’s obsession he had over the summer. The show has catchy songs and good messages around friendship and working together etc etc. He also likes Ninjas and those movies about the golden retriever puppies going into space or solving Halloween mysteries.I guess I’m anxious because he is interested in more feminine things - I don’t know! I don’t want society to hurt him or dim his light. I don’t want to inadvertently do that either. This isn’t about his possible future sexuality - I think I’m “triggered” because I was picked on. I’m 28 and I like to think I am progressive and open minded but some of the conversations around LGBTQ etc still confuse me.Idk! Parenting is hard. Am I an insane anxious parent projecting onto my child - do I just get him the my little pony bed set? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2lRV9Fj
