Strange question on M&S survey

My daughters son likes to wear her jewellery and nail varnish (although he won't wear it at summer club in case he's teased - his words.) She just accepts this and doesn't try to sway him one way or the other. Which is as it should be. I know children who had a very difficult time because of gender issues and still do even today which is very sad. So it's good that there is so much acceptance. I do feel sometimes though that it is being overthought and can be confusing. However I may be wrong because I cannot put myself in someone else's shoes. Better overthinking than having someone being treated wrongly.

I’d rather jewellery than guns whether boy or girl.

Our new attitude toward gender is a little dangerous.
At around 5 my son wanted to wear his sisters clothes and got obsessed with jewellery.
It was a phase that lasted a few weeks and was replaced with balaclavas and guns.
I feel that nowadays a “ new age parent would have changed his name to Thomasina and put him in dresses!

No it was definitely "associate" and you are right Eglantine. It should be identify. I told them at the end of the survey.

Oh dear, I’d have thought the same annep. Are we innocents?

Perhaps a letter to M&S to point out their grammatical error?

I think you are right Eglantine.
I am so tired of all this minority stuff creeping in everywhere, would male or female not suffice.

Actually you were right, I think annep. Surely associate means something that involves another person or idea.
Did they mean identify?

One for pedants corner?
