Pink -

The singer has a firm stance against labels—and that applies to both her and her children. "I feel like gender-neutral is in itself a label and I'm label-less. I don't like labels at all so I believe that a woman and a girl can do anything," she said.

She continued, “I believe that a boy can do anything [too]. So I have boys that flip dirt bikes and I have boy friends that wear dresses. It’s all okay to me. It’s whatever floats your boat. So that’s the kind of house that we live in."

Zoe Saldaña -

"When you look at parenting, the whole thing about matriarchy and patriarchy, and Daddy's little girl and Mama's boys—my husband and I find that completely ludicrous and absolutely unhealthy for the upbringing of a child," the actress said. "You're giving them a very distorted and limited view on what a female role is supposed to be in a family and what a male role is supposed to be," she added.

I think you just raise your kids individually regardless—like a genderless [approach]. We still don’t know what she's going to identify as," said the actress after her daughter Rani was born.

Olivia Wilde -

"I encourage my daughter to embrace her love of Spiderman and the blue Power Ranger instead of the pink Power Ranger. This doesn't mean that I prevent her from playing with her collection of baby dolls, which she loves very much. But I do really try to make sure that neither of my kids put themselves into binary categories. I think that's a parent’s job, and it's something I wasn't as keenly aware of before I had kids," wrote Wilde on NBC.

The father of the child, Brian Austin Green, also said a few words about it. "I’ve heard from some people that they don’t agree with him wearing dresses. To them I say, I don’t care. He’s four and if he wants to wear it then he wears it," he said. Green continued. "It’s his life, they’re not my clothes. … I feel like at four at five, that’s a time when he should be having fun. He’s not harming anyone wearing a dress. So if he wants to wear a dress, good on him."

When talking about gender and parenthood on 'The Jonathan Ross Show,' the British comedian and actor said: "I may not even impose a gender upon it, let the child grow up and be whatever the hell it is.
