The Genderless Child
Image via Wikipedia A Toronto couple is raising their baby to be genderless , refusing to identify the child either as a boy or a girl, so that he or she can choose his or her own sexual identity . The baby, named Storm, is now 4 months old. This article explains how the parents are managing this: Parents keep child’s gender secret – Parentcentral.ca . But I thought we were supposed to believe that sexual identity is not a choice, but rather an innate condition, that, in the words of Lady Gaga , “I was born this way.” So it is a choice after all? And nature must have nothing to do with it? This sounds like another form of child sacrifice to me.
