How long before parents start refusing to identify the gender of newborns..

I feel like this is coming sooner than later. Especially with all the recent pushes from SJW's to not identify restrooms, or people who are not gay or straight. Or the recent white woman who lied about being black, that her excuse was she identify's as a black woman. I just feel like it won't be long before some of these weirdo's start calling their newborns agender.

I think you're talking about a very small minority of the population that the media has grasped on to recently, which is dominating the news now.
This too shall pass.

Maybe society should operate like the OT: male until proven female

A very vocal minority who people will get tired of after the fad wears off.

Please don't confuse the minute minority with the overwhelming vast majority.

It's a strange hypothetical scenario to imagine. Pressure to accept a medical treatment, no tangible proof of its necessity, its only benefits conferred by the fact that everyone else already has it, and coming at a terrible expense to those 1 or 2 percent who have a bad reaction. It seems unlikely that doctors, hospitals, parents, or society in general would tolerate a standard practice like this.
Except they already do. The imaginary treatment I described above is real. Obstetricians, doctors, and midwives commit this procedure on infants every single day, in every single country. In reality, this treatment is performed almost universally without even asking for the parents' consent, making this practice all the more insidious. It's called infant gender assignment: When the doctor holds your child up to the harsh light of the delivery room, looks between its legs, and declares his opinion: It's a boy or a girl, based on nothing more than a cursory assessment of your offspring's genitals.
We tell our children, “You can be anything you want to be.” We say, “A girl can be a doctor, a boy can be a nurse,” but why in the first place must this person be a boy and that person be a girl? Your infant is an infant. Your baby knows nothing of dresses and ties, of makeup and aftershave, of the contemporary social implications of pink and blue. As a newborn, your child's potential is limitless. The world is full of possibilities that every person deserves to be able to explore freely, receiving equal respect and human dignity while maximizing happiness through individual expression.
With infant gender assignment, in a single moment your baby's life is instantly and brutally reduced from such infinite potentials down to one concrete set of expectations and stereotypes, and any behavioral deviation from that will be severely punished—both intentionally through bigotry, and unintentionally through ignorance. That doctor (and the power structure behind him) plays a pivotal role in imposing those limits on helpless infants, without their consent, and without your informed consent as a parent. This issue deserves serious consideration by every parent, because no matter what gender identity your child ultimately adopts, infant gender assignment has effects that will last through their whole life.

Please tell me that article is satirical

That is some of the dumbest shite I've ever read

I blame this on Prince. If he didn't start all that wanting to be called the Artist none of this shite would be being talked about.

My son had a penis when he was born, has a penis now, and will always have a penis. He was a he when he was born, is a he now, and will always be a he. My son will always be my son.
Penis at birth = male
Vagina at birth = female
Penis at birth = penis at death
Vagina at birth = vagina at death
Simple as that.

Unfortunately they are people in the world who think like that and support it.

I just read where Kimnkanye announced they are having a boy. I am actually a tad surprised they didn't think to hold off on identifying a gender. Think of all the publicity it would have garnered these two asshats.
And, why does their baby's gender warrant a headline on yahoo?? Makes me want to get one of those ronaldreagan.com email addresses...

Does this mean that we no longer have to have these stupid gender reveal parties?

You know, this is the exact reason why I started this thread. I was actually surprised given the attention these fricks crave, that they didn't do something like this. Especially considering the tranny that they are related to.

No, it just means they will coincide with their 5th birthdays.

never gonna happen. pretending babies are gender neutral is living in a fantasy. any parent who has had both boys and girls knows this already. person that wrote that article either has not been exposed to a lot of kids or has head firmly planted in arse

Not really something to make light of - when Tiny Sheep was in NICU, one of the families that was there had to have chromosome testing to figure out what they had.

It already happened. A Canadian couple refused to reveal the gender of their child for 5 years. The child was allowed to dress however they felt and play with whatever they chose.

And a lot of people didn't like that. These parents were "bloggers" and no doubt gained fame and perhaps even financial rewards by doing so. They made a controversial decision and played it up to the fullest. LINK
And another bunch of nuts who did this and had their baby's sibling (age 2 and 5) "sworn to secrecy". Um NOOO children should not be raised to think that gender needs to be a secret they can't reveal. WTF is wrong with these people. LINK
Raising a genderless baby for Mom and Dad's agenda, not a statement of child's freedom. LINK
All of this is ridiculous. There are a few children born at birth with "ambiguous sex organs" (often referred to as hermaphrodites) but they are rare and dealt with on a case by case basis. THEY have my empathy and compassion. The rest of these idiots are just ridiculous.

You're the guy that started that weird Tiger Woods thread on the MSB, right?
Maybe I'm getting my "posters that start with K" confused but this seems to be a new schtick with you.
