You could totally argue that purple is discriminatory as it is a stereotypical girls colour and that they should have used something more neutral.
But in all seriousness, I think it's such a stupid idea and see no point in it whatsoever.

I believe this is an interesting way to support the gender queer or w.e community. I do think the whole purple penguin is really silly. Something more like "kids" "Pupils" "Kiddies" ect. Or even one of my favourite youtubers way of saying it. "Girl(friend)s and Boy(friend)s and everyone else in between"
In our world you cannot go by the Binary sterotypes about gender and sexuality. Some people are boys, girls, or something in between (idk the terms or w.e). People are not just Str8 or Gay, their all these different terms. You just have to accept that this is how people are and not to exclude them from us, but to embrace them.
We are all one species, with one goal. To live on earth happily.
Been a few cases like this, here's another.Quote:

Sorry but you can go by 'binary' definitions of gender and sexuality because that is how the world really is. When you and I are rotted away in the ground, all that will be left in the ground is either a male or a female skeleton and no amount of chopping bits off or wearing women's clothes can change that. As sad as I feel for people with disorders and the respect i'll treat them with, it's all make-believe.Quote:

Sadly you don't understand what Gender is. What you are describing is Sex, which yes their is Male and Female. Gender is the role in which people take on. Female, Male, or one of the many others. The body will always be a male or female build, so when do look at the bone structure you will be able to tell. On a tombstone, the two dates are important, but its the little dash in between which is everything in between. They way someone lives their life is important, and if they are trapped in the wrong body, what kind of life is that? Being trans or gender queer/ect is no disorder and it's not make-believe. This isn't a story book in primary school.
There is no set plan how the world works/should work. These are just people who wish to live their lives happy and to the fullest. It's life, the way they are does not affect anyone, so live and let live.
What the hell, They're not ******* penguins! Surely they can't be serious about this.
Isn't "kids" an acceptable name for children in America or do people suffer from age-identity disorder too? Calling them purple penguins will give them an animal complex.
