I'm getting a Build-A-Bear very soon. The Build-A-Bear is super duper cheap yet brand-new. He is left-over from a past holiday season and they've discounted him by crazy lots trying to move the inventory. I felt bad for him and told Daddy that I thought he felt unwanted and really needed a home. Daddy said we should definitely get him so I'll have him this week.
Daddy asked if I was going to buy him some clothes and I ran into a dress from Buildabear that would match him perfect. Except...he's a boy bear and boys don't generally wear dresses. I told Daddy, "I guess he could be a gay teddy or a crossdresser teddy or something..." and he didn't understand why I didn't just say the teddy bear was female if I liked the "girl clothes" so much for him instead of making some 'gender bender' story up to explain why a boy bear is wearing girl bear clothes.
It made me think...all of my stuffies are generally male.
Daddy said that when we he was a boy and had stuffed animal or two that he always thought of them as female.
Neither one of us really know why we chose opposite genders for our toys though.
So, it made me curious...what gender are most of your stuffed animals? Are they the same or opposite of your personal gender?
