I went into raising DS in the same way and it was easy as we lived away from family and the friends so didn't have them imposing their values. DS is very gender neutral and although his play styles are different to most kids as he has autism he is attracted to both playing kitchens and tea sets with his"dolls" and fiddling with trucks, Yugioh etc. up until recently he would choose pink and purples over blues andreds etc.... however now at school we noticed his gender neutralness added to his social difference so we have been "teaching" him some social norms to stop some of the teasing from other kids.

Our DD on the other hand happily plays with all of her brothers toys, trucks, cars, Bob the builder plays soccer etc but LOVES dolls and chooses pink everytime. Her fav past times are giving her dolls bottles and pushing them in the pram. So there's my little take on two kids raised the same way with the same toys and how each one is so different and also some cons to raising neutral kids in a gender orientated society....
