Not sure this is the best idea.

I think it's extremely reckless parenting.

These people need to fall in line and respect our culture's heteronormative gender roles like good, normal people.

Seems harmless, the kid will know it's gender at the same time other kids realize there gender. No harm to the kid, just a strange position by the parents. Non-story.

Sorta strange... I'd never do it.
But why should I care exactly?

Until the child goes to kindergarten and learns that others were not raised like they were.

I think this belongs in the parenting forum, but it seems strange to me. I don't see what's wrong with a child knowing and identifying with it's gender. It will unnecessarily cause problems with the child's peers. I think the child will resent this.
