Assuming only two genders to be part of societal norms inhibits the social well-being of those individuals whose labels fall out with this convention. Your kid growing up in a heteronormative environment, means they read books, and watch movies and TV shows that have heterosexual characters. Emulating traits from those we idolize is human nature and the queer populace deserve better role models. The world seems to realise its mistakes slowly but today's India hasn't caught on completely since even talking about such culture is taboo.
