I'm with you, I don't mind pink.
Wouldn't wear it though. I get enough folk thinking I'm either gay or a copper.
Actually not a copper round here, it's a 'gavver'.
Like I said. Old fashioned thinking.
The amount of times people thoughtnour daughter was a boy or vice versa as babies cracked me up.
We dressed them in whatever they looked good in.
Next you'll be saying girls can't play with toy cars.

It's just how it is. Pink for girls, blue for boys.
bullshit. For centuries up until about 1918 clothing colour was gender-neutral for kids. In 1918, a trade publication stated that it was pink that was appropriate for boys, as it was a stronger, bolder color. The pastel tones of blue were better for girls.

No, I think I'm thought of as either is because of my haircut and my face.
You know what, I don't actually know why I am thought of as a policeman. I don't see it.
Most undercover cops stick out like a sore thumb.
Love it when they try and buy drugs off me and I threaten to get them thrown out.

Imagine going on a High Street.
You give them two coloured balls, one pink one blue.
You give them a board with two hole called boy and girl.
Then you ask them to put the coloured ball in which ever hole they thought of as fitting to that colour.
They would put the blue in the boy hole and the pink in the girl hole.
