I've seen a couple of blogs now post on Baby Bangs — a new company that creates wigs/toupee's for bald or short-haired baby girls so that people will not commit the heinous act of mis-gendering them. 

Gwen then goes on to ask questions about why people are so concerned that someone might mistake their infant daughter for a boy, as this product is explicitly designed to avoid.  I'll say that the question befuddles me, as well, though I was once the object of such concerns.
