Does your boy do gymnastics or know someone's who does? How is it received by family and friends?

We put T in a baby gymnastics class to help with his motor skills and he's really taken off with it. One little girl who is now 4 came by class the other night and was showing everyone the advanced moves (a LOT!!) she could do because she had been in the baby gym class before she could walk (like T).

He really enjoys it and since he's started so early, he has a major head start on learning. He already knows the cues to do a somersault and a handstand (with help obviously lol). Last night he cried the whole way there and then perked up into smiles when we walked into the gym. I want to keep him in it as long as he wants to, past the baby class, but my family kind of side eye me when I mention it. Since its mostly viewed as a "girls sport" (really dumb).

That doesn't sway me but I'm interested in others experience with boys in gymnastics.

ETA: We live in a very rural area where everyone is still bass ackwards about some things. The common thought around here is gymnastics = cheerleading which is very much just for girls.
