    Couple raise child as 'gender neutral' to avoid stereotyping - Telegraph


    Except

    "Sasha wears a "ruched-sleeved" girl's shirt as part of his school uniform, and has been banned from sporting combat trousers.

    The youngster is also encouraged to wear flowery tops at weekends."

    He also apparently likes to play with Lego and dolls.

    Hope he has a happy childhood and grows up to be a confident well-socialised adult.
    Real life wackos. It is people like this that subvert natural law that give man a bad name..... also: There is no cure for stupid and I feel they should be pinched for child abuse. What a horrible thing to do to a child.... if it has a penis it is a BOY, otherwise it is a GIRL.

    What a load of shlte.

    What was I spoofing about? I don't think I've said anything here that most other posters are also saying ... or are you just looking for an argument? Or just being obnoxious?

    the fact that we even DEFINITELY know these people exist suggets that there is excessive media attention, something I would consider inappropriate for most children.

    Adults in our society are gender stereotyped. Gender segregated bathrooms for example, why do they exist?
