When you were a toddler, what was the point of dressing according to your gender? Were you trying to attract dates?

I didn't dress myself; if I did, odds are I would've had a diaper on my head and poop on my leg.

The child will decide on its own. You can't change biology. I don't know why people are panicking over this. So, the parents are being unconventional. Big deal. I highly doubt it's going to matter as the child grows up.

Gender identity is a little biological and a little cultural. There are case studies of genetically male females (born intersexed and raised female) that have more masculine traits. However, studies also show that when left to their devices, toys loose their gender marker.

How is what they are doing going to destroy the childs psyche? And while you are at it maybe you can explain how it is any of your business.

It still remains that it would be big government Liberals who would bwant the government to assign the child a gender and Conservatives who would support the parents right to act foolish

I wouldn't do that to my child, but then again, that's not my child so it's not really my business.

You REALLY think the parents are letting a 4 month old have sex!!!!???

DUH! As the child ages it will be attracted to whatever sex it was programed to be attracted to BEFORE IT WAS BORN...


YOU obviously believe parents should decide which sex their child should be attracted to...weird....



GOOD for them for at least trying to break down the sex stereotyping that leads to so much crap later in life and has NOT helped this world whatsoever!!!!
