Highly Relevant Gender Info

Blue’s Clues characters:

The girls are: Blue, Magenta, Paprika, Green Puppy, Side Table Drawer, Pail, Tickety Tock, Orange Kitten, and Baby Bear.

The boys are: Slippery Soap, Mailbox, Shovel, and Purple Kangaroo.

This is from the Blue’s Clues FAQ.

And now it’s 3:03am and my little brain wants to sleep.

I’m not sure which bucket to put Steve in.

What was the question?

Since when was Magenta a girl? Magenta is referred to as “he” more than once on the show.

What in the heck are y’all talking about?

Magenta was always a girl… you’re on crack!

Heh. I’d probably feel better if I was.

My son swears Magenta is a boy. I see I’ll have to drag out the tapes this weekend.

Green Puppy’s not a girl? Thought it was a guy. And I could have sworn the same for Side Table Drawer…

What about Perwinkle?

Oops, meant to say “The green puppy’s not a guy?” or “the green puppy’s a girl?”

Wow, what is it about Blue’s Clues? There’s a related thread in the Pit, & I just made the “Celebs You’re Disturbed You Find Attractive” thread mention Blue’s Clues as well.
Weird.

Magenta is the girl. Riff Raff is the boy. Columbia is the other girl.
What? Oh.

It’s late and I found this exchange laugh-out-loud funny.
Gender confusion is a very important issue. Thank you for your part in the fight against ignorance.

I sang this little ditty to my nine year old (now ten) when I changing the channel (from the offending show). He cracked up. Then he informed me, very straight faced, not to sing that in front of “little kids” cause it might hurt their feelings.
