British Couple Declares Sex Of Child They Raised As ‘genderless’ For 5 Years

The Heavens declare the value of humanity, yet some do not wish to appreciate that value. One's being is directly connected to their gender.


British Couple Reveals Sex Of Child They Raised As ‘genderless’ For 5 Years | Fox News: "A British couple who raised their child as "gender neutral" in a bid to break free from stereotyping revealed Friday that their five-year-old is a boy.

Beck Laxton and her partner Kieran, from Sawston in central England, referred to their son, Sasha, as "the infant" and dressed the youngster in ambiguous outfits to keep his sex a secret from friends and strangers.

They decided to tell people the child's gender after it became more difficult to conceal when he started pre-school."
When this child grows to adulthood, this "experiment" will prove to be folly. The two women who are the child's parents stated, " "but at the moment he's not really bothered either way," she said. "All I want to do is make people think a bit." All I want is other people to think a bit? "The selfishness of the guardians of this child is evident.

Study after study affirms that a child naturally acts in accordance with his or her gender. This is why the mantra of 'I was born this way', is not publicized in the media like it once was. Yes there are differences of hormones in new born babies. Yes there are examples of hermaphroditism. These are difficult situations that should be treated respectfully as with any other special needs. But to grow a child genderless simply because you want other people to think about it is abusive for the child.

To say that parents or guardians have no bias in the way a child is raised is not truthful. One can provide non gender toys and activities but children are aware of adult's perception on some level of consciousness.
