Alex, Jason, Andrian.
They're pretty unisex names.

Kelly definitely sounds like a girl name.
Sasha only sounds like it could go either way if you're in Russia.
And this story.... it's retarded.

They clearly wanted a daughter and failed.

^ They most likely took first year psychology classes and thought it was a great idea it do it to their own kids :P
Well first year psychology should've taught them that gender identification as a growing child is incredibly important to their brain's ability to learn and perceive certain information.
Its like the training wheels for many other things you learn that your brain really has to start using.

Jason is definitely a male name.
When I hear Sasha, I actually think of a Russian guy. I knew a few girls named Sasha, though.

I'm all for same sex couples having kids, is their right. But this is the best example of doing it wrong, and sadly, detractors might use this kid as a weapon against these groups.

Not very gender neutral if he's allowed to have overly feminine outfits but not overly masculine ones.

He isn't allowed to have Barbies either. Is he not allowed to have G.I. Joe and Transformers too? Is he taught to favor Wonder Woman over Superman? If his favorite Power Ranger is Red is he sent to the corner?
My mom wasn't the best but at least she didn't control what I liked, and told me what toys I can and cannot have. (ya know besides the price issue)

I see some sort of contradiction in-between both bolded statements.

But that's not controlling what a person likes. I liked guns and swords when I was a kid. Do you think my parents got me the gun and sword that I wanted?

Mine never even got me nerf guns.
And Nerf Guns were always at the top of my list when I was a kid.
Maybe if I played around with nerf guns instead of legos and matchbox cars I would've gone out of the house a little more often and ended up a tad bit manlier.
They wouldn't even get me a super soaker so I had to play around with those little burger king kids meal squirt gun toys.

But then the same apply for that kid, his parents didn't control what he liked but only ""told him what toys he can and cannot have. (ya know besides the price issue)""

Right. The article never said that the boy didn't like the shirt with the skulls on it because his parents said no, it said that the shirt was not allowed, so no matter how much the boy wanted the shirt, he wouldn't have gotten it. The same could be said about the Barbie doll. Sasha may like to play with Barbies, but no matter what, his parents won't buy him any. So it is the same principle as what Guyver said. The only reason it's being blown out of proportion is because the article lists more feminine things that the kid has done than of masculine, so everyone that only skimmed over it thinks that the parents are forcing the kid to have feminine likes.
