From here:
“So it’s a boy, right?” a neighbour calls out as Kathy Witterick walks by, her four month old baby, Storm, strapped to her chest in a carrier.
Each week the woman asks the same question about the baby with the squishy cheeks and feathery blond hair.
Witterick smiles, opens her arms wide, comments on the sunny spring day, and keeps walking.
She’s used to it. The neighbours know Witterick and her husband, David Stocker, are raising a genderless baby. But they don’t pretend to understand it.
While there’s nothing ambiguous about Storm’s genitalia, they aren’t telling anyone whether their third child is a boy or a girl.
[…..]
Witterick and Stocker believe they are giving their children the freedom to choose who they want to be, unconstrained by social norms about males and females.
By the time this poor child is old enough to “choose who he wants to be”, he will also be old enough to realise that he has been the victim of a grotesque experiment by parents more interested in sacrificing him on the altar of their crackbrained ideology than in loving him.
If he has any sense he will get away from them as far as he can as quickly as possible.
“Storm”? The poor kid will get called a ‘horse’s ass’ by its peers for sure with such a equine name.

Ah spring and the nuts are falling out of the trees earlier than usual.
So now Pampers will have to come up with a product line that features grey instead of the usual blue or pink.
Off topic, advice to those who were expecting the rapture.
Too bad there isn’t a test you have to take before you’re allowed to have children.
I’m not sure I understand what the big deal is..
They’re not doing anything overly radical. They’re just not giving out information about their child. Where is the harm in letting your child discover themselves rather than being told what to discover.
If I’m missing the obvious, by all means(not that I need to allow because I’m sure someone will anyway) let me know.
There’s nothing to discover! They are just encouraging gender confusion in their children.
They have a theory. It might even be right. But where is the evidence that a child will be better off discovering his/her gender for themselves? As far as I know, parents have been guiding their offspring in behavior appropriate to their gender since we came out of the trees. If there is, as I suspect, no evidence in support of their idea, this means they are risking their child’s emotional, sexual and behavioural development on an unproven theory. They are not crackpots, just very selfish parents willing to sacrifice their child to fuel their self-promotion.
