is this a baby a boy or a girl?

[crisgal]

and what are your opinions of the parents' attitude?

[crisgal]

oops - sorry

'' Her husband chimed in: 'If you really want to get to know someone, you don’t ask what’s between their legs.' ''

Most 'normal' people don't do that anyway...

[bibblebub]

it's not PC, it's simply idiot adults, the sort who would name a child Storm or Jazz

[redcrx]

hang on, are they doing this so their kids get an easier life?

[pastafreak]

Oh for goodness' sake....they are just setting up their children for MORE bullying...rather than any 'normal' teasing that many experience.

[pa___ul3]

it's clear which side the mail are on anyway! I think it's an interesting idea but it's almost as if the kids are 'guinea pigs' in their parents attempts at driving towards a more tolerant world. Where I think the parents intentions are noble, I feel sorry for the kids because the likelihood is they will get grief for it! At some point in school, they will be forced to disclose Storm's gender, unless they home-school all the way which I think creates different issues.

Just read this- weird isn't it?

Looks like a little boy to me. But I got the weird impression they're desperate for a girl, because the plaits on the little boy called Jazz (what?) sure looked girly to me!

[ChuckFickens]

B00...

I should imagine the "pink dress which he loves because it 'really poofs out at the bottom'" looks even more girly!

[redcrx]

i think theyve taken it too far. let kids be kids, boy or girl, let them choose what they like in life, nothing wrong with a boy with long hair or who likes pink, my son wants a doll and a pink handbag, doesnt bother me at all. But the whole, hide away what sex they are, just seems odd. This will no doubt cause those kids stress and upset which (i hope) is what the parents are trying to avoid with this strange decision.

of course, it may just be that the parents only wanted a girl and mother nature has only given them boys so they are hoping one kid will play at being a girl instead?

[snags]

I foresee a 6ft 5 cross dresser in the making...

Talkng of which, morning chuck.

[bibblebub]

keeping a baby gender-free can be profitable http://tinyurl.com/3wfd599

[ChuckFickens]

LMAO....

Morning snags.

I think it could very well be that they're so intent on making the kids androgenous that they're almost edging them past the middle... the lads being a bit too girly. I wonder if they'd be as happy if the lads picked up a football as opposed to a doll? I don't think you need to bring your kids up like that to allow them freedom of choice when they're old enough to make a reasoned choice.

[B00]

oh haha, didnt read that bit chucky, obviously just skimmed over it!

What a strange, strange, strange family. Still, if it works for them, and the kids grow up to be fairly well balanced human beings, who's to say it's wrong?

[pastafreak]

But WILL they grow up to be well-balanced? Unfortunately-only time will tell.

[milly143]

Being born male or female is a fact of life. It's not some scheme set up by the government in order to segregate people.

I'd like to see how they explain reproduction if there are no genders in their crazy little world.

[pastafreak]

I'd like to know what happens when Storm is older and has to change for PE......

[R1Geezer]

Are they the "modern parents" from Viz? PMSL, some people are just too dam stupid to have kids. They are setting this poor little sod up for a life time of hell, This is a form of child abuse in my opinion, why are social services not involved?

[jackthehat]

I don't imagine they are keeping their children's gender a secret from the child themselves...........

I think that (barking as it may appear to be) they are trying to get 'other' folks to look closely at their own preconceptions of how they deal differently when confronted with a boy-person or a girl-person...

[snags]

''they are trying to get 'other' folks to look closely at their own preconceptions''

But is their chosen method really the best way from the child's point of view?
