Ok so yesterday I called for a ban on gender threads. Now, this one is an extreme and unusual one so I think I am allowed a hypocritical U-turn.
A mother in Grazia today says she has not told anyone (except very close family) the sex of her toddler and doesn't intend to do so.
She wants 'it' to be gender neutral so that 'it' doesn't conform to stereotypes etc etc.
Where on earth is she going to send 'it' to school where 'it' won't get bullied or ridiculed or alienated?
The fact that I have to call a child 'it' is awful in itself.
Does anyone on here understand this or defend her decision? Show yourselves!
