Why do they feel the need to tell the world?

[quote] protect from unconscious gender bias

That's only going to be effective if they somehow find a way to raise the child in a vacuum for the next 18 years. I'm assuming they're going to let it go out in public, and to school?

No one gives a shit about your kid.

The parents are circus performers.

Shocking, I know.

Back in the seventies, life was dull, and one day I had absolutely nothing better to do that flip through my mother's feminist "Ms." magazine. There was a story in it about a child named Robin who was raised with nobody knowing its sex, and because the child was raised without any sex-based expectations and was totally free to be his/her/itsself, at the end it was proudly revealed that the child had "...no hangups at all!".

So the idea isn't new, it's at least fifty years old. Being stupid enough to try it in real life, though, that's new.

Genderists are the new evolution deniers. The human race evolved over hundreds of thousands of years so that human beings could tell within seconds of seeing, hearing, and smelling a person whether that person was male or female. Science isn't trying to "hurt" anybody. Biology doesn't care about thoughts or feelings. Sex drive is just sex drive; there is no purpose other than mating and propagating the species.

And by the time a child is two or so-- probably earlier-- its sex is readily apparent. Good luck hiding it.

"Sex drive is just sex drive; there is no purpose other than mating and propagating the species. "

You really should have said "... mating and/or propagating", considering your audience.

I guess I thought it was assumed, R9. Obviously, sex is as important to gay people as it is to straight people. And sexual exclusivity is not "bigotry."
