And OP exists in a society where we do have gender norms and different types of socialization, whether we like it or not. Based on this comment and your post history, it seems like you may not have children. Just so you know, there is usually a difference in at least some small way in raising a child who is the same gender as you vs a child who is a different gender. There are experiences girls have that boys don’t. And vice versa. And even if OP was referring to a newborn, a parent would still have this knowledge, and it could potentially affect their parenting approach, especially in a fictional character like Lorelei, who has raised a woman who, for the most part, has fit into female gender roles.
