Hi,

I'm a mother from a 7 years old son, who grows from it's birth into a gender neutral way.
My child is wearing boys and girls clothing plays with boys and girls toys , he is both.
He is signed with the M ( male ) marker.

From out of 1 of July it is legal for citizen of my country to change the gender marker to X what's means genderless/neutral for once after this change it can't turn back.

Now I'm start thinking that it's would be good for my child that I write out his gender marker M ( male ) and describe my cild again with gender marker X , so that my child become genderless/neutral by law.

Is it worth to do it and let my son become a genderless/neutral person

"Worth it" in what way?

Why should you get to make this decision for your son now? Why not let him grow up and be who he wants to be?

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

I think that should be their decision when they are legally old enough to decide for themselves how they wish to be designated.

He is not "both." The fact he sometimes plays with girls toys doesn't make him "both," it just means he sometimes plays with girl's toys. He is male. This is an immutable, biological fact regardless of what garments he prefers on any given day.

I swear, half the girls in my generation who were considered "tomboys" yet were unmistakably female would have been shoved into "gender reassignment therapy" or some such nonsense in today's crazy world.

If this is a real question (i.e. not meant to stir up the masses), the answer is a hard no, you should not change his gender designation at 7yrs old because he currently happens to sometimes enjoy playing with things other than cars and superheros.

I don't have a pickup truck but am not changing my designation. My wife's favorite color is not pink and she is not changing hers.

People really make me scratch my head sometimes.

It's a dangerous trend. Most kids won't be thankful.
Same with giving weird names. What some parents want is not always in their kids best interest.

Your child is 7. No. If they want to make a change when they are an adult, fine.

Interesting that we still refer to them as boys toys/clothes and girls toys/clothes. I don't think we're anywhere near being as gender free as some people think we headed towards.

Even the most woke people, deep in their hearts, don't want to live in a gender-free world. This is less about abandoning gender than about glorifying "choice," which has become the greatest goal. Having a specific gender is fine as long as people get to "choose it for themselves."

Unfortunately, the list of things we cannot choose has always been long: where we are born, who our parents are, our race, our height, our biological sex, and many other things. Elevating "choice" is causing people to lose the ability to cope with that fact.
