"Binary: (adj.) consisting of, indicating, or involving two.

When I first started blogging about my adventures in raising a gender creative son, I wasn't very educated when it came to gender. All I knew is that I wanted everybody to be cool with my then-3-year-old son wearing a dress and loving the Disney Princesses. I wanted it to be okay for boys to like feminine things and girls to like masculine things. I didn't know at first that I was fighting the gender binary."

The original article is on Lori Dutton's blog: raisingmyrainbow.com/2016/02/21/the-new-gender-binary (http://raisingmyrainbow.com/2016/02/21/the-new-gender-binary)
with comments.  (And they're not bad comments, either.)

There's some mention in the comments about the Huff Post version being less complete than the one on Lori's blog.
