Parents keep child’s gender under wraps (barf alert)

When many couples have a baby, they send out an email to family and friends that fills them in on the key details: name, gender, birth weight, that sort of thing. (You know the drill: "Both Mom and little Ethan are doing great!")

But the email sent recently by Kathy Witterick and David Stocker of Toronto, Canada to announce the birth of their baby, Storm, was missing one important piece of information. "We've decided not to share Storm's sex for now--a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place? ...)," it said.

That's right. They're not saying whether Storm is a boy or a girl.

There's nothing ambiguous about the baby's genitals. But as Stocker puts it: "If you really want to get to know someone, you don't ask what's between their legs." So only the parents, their two other children (both boys), a close friend, and the two midwives who helped deliver the now 4-month-old baby know its gender. Even the grandparents have been left in the dark.

This is beyond sickening. And look at the other 2 children! So "though Jazz likes dressing as a girl, he doesn't seem to want to be mistaken for one"? Won't someone remove these precious children from that so-called home? What am I saying, it's Canada! How long before we see this trend over here?

stupid.

And the media considers this “newsworthy” because they have an agenda to push.

[Mears]

That’s just pitiful.

They're not saying whether Storm is a boy or a girl.

They don't have to. Storm's a chick.



Also, did anyone notice this? So only the parents, their two other children (both boys), a close friend, and the two midwives who helped deliver the now 4-month-old baby know its gender.

Why am I not surprised that no doctor was present?

[The Pack Knight]

Oops, and I missed one other thing. This article is full of nuggets like this:

Both boys are "unschooled," a version of homeschooling...

Actually, that sounds more like a synonym for "uneducated", which accurately describes the parents.

Of course, these diptard moonbats are too short-sighted (or is it just flat-out stupid?) to envision what a world where everything is acceptable would look like. If there are no boundaries, then anything goes. Their poor children would be easy prey. These boneheads should try living on Planet Reality instead of just paying a rare visit.

Well Okay...
I honestly dont care. But i heard this story this morning put in the context of whether these idiots should have the children removed for abuse. And to that the answer is Negative. In my view the same law that allows the state to forcibly remove children from these Braindead liberals would allow the state to remove children from a household because they are being raised as christians.

These morons will pay a heavy price when their son rebels against their stupidity. When the hormones kick in.

[I still care]

As I read the article, it seems to me the problem is that they are putting no restrictions whatsoever on their child. Dress as he wants, schools as he wants, hair as he wants.

To give the child a message that they can do whatever they want with NO restrictions is a terrible diservice. People are meant to have SOME walls.

One of the tasks of a parent is to take on those things yourself, so you kid doesn’t have to learn the hard way, with pain and tragedy.

So true.

Lots of little boys at a certain age and for a fairly short period of time show an interest in trying on girl's clothing. Ordinarily means nothing.

In this case, Storm, obviously a girl, will have a far more serious issue. The time will come when she will realize what these perverts did to her, and wonder why her parents proudly let their boys be boys but were so ashamed of her girlhood that they tried to hide it from people. She (Storm) has a spell of very bad weather coming, down the road a piece.

BTW, don't they have birth certificates in Canada? Or do they just not say what sex the baby is?

[SaraJohnson]

You can’t fix stupid, but you can fix child abuse.

[AngryMan0]

If they had named the baby Hitler he would have been taken away by the government. If the commies decide to withhold the gender of there child who will surely have just as many issues they decide its “cute”... sickening degeneracy

[Lattero]

Seeing this story made me recall an article I read in The Onion a few months back, only this one is for real.

At least they didn’t murder him/her.

Insanity.

The kid is a boy, but will probably be raised as an “it”. My theory is that the Mother hates men and the “Father” is ashamed of being a man.

Speaking of the "princess boy" brother, who doesn't want to be called, or be mistaken for, a girl...

STEVE RUSSELL/TORONTO STAR
Storm in red, gets a cuddle from older brother Jazz.
Kathy Witterick, 38 and David Stocker, 39 are raising
their four month old child, Storm, to be genderless.

Longer story, that also mentions the family's co-sleeping arrangement on mattresses pushed together on the floor of one room; the "unschooling" of the kids; and MUCH other looniness, including their Cuban & Zapatista vacations, try here.

These kids are probably already too screwed up to survive into adulthood intact...or even survive the inevitable bullying.

When I first read the title, I thought that the article was about Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They have a daughter that they have dressed as a boy since the child was a baby, saying that she preferred boys’ clothes.
