Oh, Jo, I, too, embraced gender neutral clothing (corduroy pants or Osk-Gosh overalls from thrift stores), but sometimes gave in to feminine t-shirts for my first-born daughter. By kindergarten, my daughter would only wear dresses.
When my son was born, he wore the hand-me-down girlie t-shirts until age 3 or 4, but then it was boy shirts only. All new clothing was “boy” stuff.
My 4 yr old had a choice of Minnie Mouse or Mickey when he was 2. They didn’t have Mickey so I figured he could do his business in a diaper that was just a good quality so he’d stay dry. But his dad? Didn’t they have Mickey? Donald? He’d already pooped in one so I pointed out he obviously did not care. I personally buy all baby gifts in yellow.

Remind me of the years.. 1983? And around 1988?
Yes, you have the years correct.
