There have been several stories regarding the subject of gender neutrality which have been showing up lately in the news.

The parents in Canada who are raising gender neutral children.

Parents keep child's gender secret - Parentcentral.ca


YouTube - ‪Canadian Parents Raise Gender-Neutral Baby‬‏

And the most recent addition is a gender neutral school in Sweden.

No 'him' or 'her'; preschool fights gender bias - Yahoo! News

What is the purpose of raising a child who is gender neutral?

What in your opinion are the benefits to society?

Are human males and females the same organism with different sex organs?

What are the similarities between males and females which in your opinion determine that neither are unique and require the label of being gender neutral?

This whole "gender diversity" thing is idiotic. Why is it even an issue?

Please explain what you mean by gender neutrality. For now, I'm assuming that girls wearing a pair of slacks or jeans would be an example of that?

What do you mean by "balance of society"?

And what do you mean by sexuality being "changeable"?

No one knows for sure, but the genders have grown closer in their behavior over the last century.

Generally when our brains have tried to change our nature, we usually see more radical swings in the opposite direction. It could be quite possible that a massive blow back to gender neutrality could expand that differences between the sexes.

I think if the idea of gender neutrality means equality, and being of the same worth ,no matter what sex you are ...it would be a good thing...As far as raising our children without a select "social" gender, there's no way in THIS day and age it could ever be done without some kind of damage to that childs psyche, if ever.

Not from my understanding.

The belief is that we teach our children gender roles from birth. Mothers teach daughters to be mothers, housewives, etc. Fathers teach their sons to be fathers, football players, hunters, etc.

And its also believed that this goes on into school as well, and even though not many boys sign up for home economics, its mainly because thats what they were taught from a young age.

The drive for gender neutrality is to allow the child to determine their predetermined role in society, outside of their sex.

The link doesn't explain that. Would my example fit? Would you consider a pair of jeans or pants "gender neutral"?

Society's balance requires that men and women are perceived as distinct individuals with regard to their natural born sex. If people are not seen as distinctly male or female but some ambiguous individual with no gender identification it upsets the "balance of society".

Sexuality being a "changeable" condition whereby the role of male or female are neuter (neutral). A female can adopt whatever sexual role she wishes as can a male with either gender because they are "neutral" which then "normalizes" males with feminine tendencies/role preferences and females with masculine tendencies/role preferences.
