This is an interesting article that looks at parents who have decide to keep their new child's sex hidden from the world. They say they believe that parents have too much influence and pressure already on a child and they want their kid, Storm, to decide what it (for lack of a better word) is. The pair already let their two sons dress however they like and decide how long or short to have their hair in an attempt to not hold their children to gender restrictions. What do you think about this choice after reading this article? Are they on the right track? Are they going too far? Will this act end up helping or hurting the child?
The problems are with acceptance of gender as opposed to gender itself. Heterosexuality be it a social construction or not has reproductive property as it were. If we cant identify opposites in one way or another before becoming committed to liking, loving or lusting, how can we procreate without totally changing biological impulses of child rearing?????
