A growing group of parents refuse to acknowledge gender - let kids decide!

WTF.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys. Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers. Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights. At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond.
Is Zyler a boy or a girl? How about Kadyn? That’s a question their parents, Nate and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide. The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth. A Facebook community for these parents currently claims about 220 members across the U.S.

Why am I not surprise stupid parents would give their children stupid names? It's a shame these kids have almost no shot at being normal.

I love this thought process from some adults.
"My child is too young to decide whether he gets a hamburger or tacos for dinner, but I'm perfectly at peace with them deciding they are X gender."

Well, that is growth.
Regardless of how small or large it is now, you're in denial if you think the acceptance these types of parenting decisions isn't on the rise in this country.

“Once your child meets the outer world, which may be day care, or preschool, or grandparents — it's pretty much impossible to maintain a gender-free state,” Lise Eliot, professor of neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School and author of “Pink Brain, Blue Brain,” said in an email. “And depending on how conventional your community is, you could be setting your child up for bullying or exclusion.”
Parents like the Sharpes understand these realities — but they’re determined to shield their children from them for as long as possible.
Way to set your kids up for failure.

Serious question - doesn't the birth certificate require a gender designation? Or have we gotten away from that in this country so we don't hurt anyone's feelings?

My dude is going to be a dude and my girl is going to be a chick. I don’t understand all the reasons people decide to cut their dicks off and am not judging them for it. They are entitled to a life of dignity and respect generally as a human being. But, it’s pretty hilarious and in my house, dudes are going to be dudes and chicks are going to be chicks.

That's why we need to beat the rest of society into submission to this suspended form of reality.
