“So it’s a boy, right?” a neighbour calls out as Kathy Witterick walks by, her four month old baby, Storm, strapped to her chest in a carrier.
See more family photos.
Each week the woman asks the same question about the baby with the squishy cheeks and feathery blond hair.
Witterick smiles, opens her arms wide, comments on the sunny spring day, and keeps walking.
She’s used to it. The neighbours know Witterick and her husband, David Stocker, are raising a genderless baby. But they don’t pretend to understand it.

SNAFU
LOL yeah, I had 3 boys (no girls—I wouldn’t know what to do with girls). I don’t know how you would really raise gender neutral boys, I think parents who try end up pushing the kids the direction they want them, frankly. I know how little boys act, no matter WHAT you do. They act like little boys. I happen to like little boys tho. They are a great deal of fun.
Excellent point. If they were being gender neutral the parent would never bring it up, it would never be discussed, and the child would actually be unaware there was a difference in gender for anyone.
Gender is a joyful thing...”male and female created He them.”
I feel sorry for these children.
A couple of excerpts from the article:
“The boys are encouraged to challenge how they’re expected to look and act based on their sex.”
They are encouraged? How?
“Upstairs they co-sleep curled up on two mattresses pushed together on the floor of the master bedroom, under a heap of mismatched pillows and blankets.”
So the parents also sleep together with their gender neutral children??? Is that what this excerpt above is saying here?
They should be investigated.
“Witterick practices unschooling, an offshoot of home-schooling centred on the belief that learning should be driven by a child’s curiosity.”
This reminds me so much of the book I mentioned above. Everything for these people is to be driven by the childs curiousity. Even touching?
These people should be investigated.
Then here are the words of the kid Jazz who calls himself the ‘Gender Explorer”:
“Help girls do boy things. Help boys do girl things. Let your kid be whoever they are!”
How is the kid not being coached? These are his own words at seven that he came up with on his own by simply being given his own choice?
No the kid is being coached. The parents even mention having to teach their kids to keep secrets. These people should be investigated, this reaks of child abuse.
And of course being that they like to go visit radical communist revolutionaries in Cuba and Mexico they probably have a get away plan just in case they get found out.
SUSPICIOUS ...
Upstairs they co-sleep curled up on two mattresses
pushed together on the floor of the master bedroom,
under a heap of mismatched pillows and blankets.
During the day, the kids build forts with the pillows
and pretend to walk a tightrope between the mattresses.
HILARIOUS ...
The fringe movement is growing. An unschooling conference
in Toronto drew dozens of families last fall.
WELL DUH ...
“We spend more time than we should providing explanations
for why we do things this way,”
CREEPY ...
parents should support gender-creative children, which
includes the transgendered, who feel born in the wrong
bodies, and gender hybrids, who feel they are part girl
and part boy. Then there are gender “smoothies,” who have
a blended sense of gender that is purely “them.”
Also in the SUSPICIOUS category:
“While she accepts and supports Jazz’s freedom “to be who he is,” she’s concerned about asking two small boys to keep a secret about the baby of the family. “For very young children, just in their brains, they’re not ready to do the kind of sophisticated discernment we do about when a secret is necessary.””
When is a secret nessecary? What secrets? Have you ever heard parents talk this way in regards to children expressing things about gender issues?
These people are sick. Sophisticated discernment is needed to lie about children’s gender?
God I hope that this article prompts someone with the authority to do so to investigatge these people.
If these “parents” are going to play that game I would just ask them, “How’s your It doing?” or, “How is Cousin It today?”.
I’m with you. These people aren’t right and are
victimizing their children with confusing messages.
Why are these parents so obsessed about gender and sex?
They broadcast to their children that they really don’t
care enough about them to teach them right from wrong,
leaving it up to their children to “figure life out”.
I think these parents prove DEVOLUTION.
The baby has a very masculine brow and jaw.
I sure hope it’s a boy.
When the boy comes of age he can sue his parents for identity theft.
my wife gave our son her old baby dolls when he was about 1. he liked them very much! she was thrilled. i just smiled.
about an hour later he had 2 of the dolls on the floor, pushing them around making truck noises. that’s my boy!
There’s only one motivation here. This couple want a son who will live a homosexual lifestyle. Why, of course, that’s so stylish these days and every self-respecting “progressive” couple should be able to tell anyone who will listen, “I’m a proud parent: my son is gay. Just don’t press me on what exactly there is to be proud of.”
What’s remarkable is that these “progressive” parents who admire Stalinist totalitarian regimes and movements don’t comprehend is that when that “revolution” is accomplished, these deranged weirdos are the first to meet with the firing squad, as their “usefulness” for the cause is no longer required. One thing is clear, they are a danger to their children’s well being.
Hideous stupidity ping.
I was reading my wife’s Time magazine (don’t ask why) and they had an interview with Chaz. Apparently she only had her breasts removed when she became a “man”. She decided to keep herself a woman from the waist down. Go figure.
The most pathetic aspect of this is that their sense of self-satisfaction and sanctimony is so pathological that they're incapable of comprehending that ALL of their children are being damaged, possibly destroyed.
One morning she left the two older ones at the breakfast table for a minute or two. When she came back, she found they had eaten their toast into gun shapes and were pointing them at each other and going "BANG!"
They got their toy guns.
