But for now - just indentify as a: 'Confused Androgynous Wombat'."

As Gabriella Martenson prepared for the birth of her first child, she came to a decision. She wouldn’t tell her child if they’d been born a girl or a boy, and would largely avoid discussing their birth sex with people outside her family and friendship group.
“I wanted them to be who they want to be. I don't want to decide that for them,” says Martenson, who was 30 and living in her home city, Stockholm, when she had her first child. “[It’s] just as I don't want to decide what they grow up to do, or who they decide to love or live with.”
As a child herself, Martenson had mostly been raised within stereotypical gender norms, such as being given pink belongings and dresses to wear. But in her late teens, she says she “discovered feminism” and began questioning gender norms. So, when she became a mother, she chose to buy her own child a wide range of clothes and gifts, ranging from trains to dolls.
She hoped her parenting style would help her child feel more comfortable exploring a range of hobbies and studies, rather than nudging them towards more gender-stereotypical activities. She also believed raising a child without gender would make things easier if they eventually identified as a gender different from their assigned birth sex, and help them accept other people who don’t adhere to the gender binary or other societal norms. “I'm letting them be anything… and teaching them to not be so narrow minded,” she says.
Martenson, who’s since repeated the approach with her two other children, is part of what some experts say is a small yet growing number of parents – both straight and queer – who’ve opted for gender-neutral parenting in recent years.

They are brainwashed.
The questions are "how did they become this way? (i.e., what is the mechanism?)" and "who brainwashed them?"
Might as well just turn them over to the child molesters when they start kindergarten.
("Get em by eight...before it's too late")
And stop having children!
Insane delusions at work.
Child abuse. It should be a criminal offense.

What about you now, are you prejudiced?
“The Sikh man laughed and dismissed the father’s embarrassment. “
To be gracious in such an incident one has to put yourself into the shoes of another and see how and why incident happened. You have to put aside a preconditioned emotional response (prejudice) and see the event for what it is and not for what your prejudice says it is.
That was a great story. Thanks for sharing.
This woman has already decided she is raising a girl.
If the "child" wants to wear a tutu and lipstick at age 5, this woman will be all in on that. However, if the child wants to wear a cowboy hat and get a cap gun, the horrified mother will surely steer the child towards more feminine things.
This mother to be is a groomer and unfit to be a parent. Plain and simple.
She admits to being a feminist. So we know she is not mentally well. Also, she denies reality.
No matter how many times they refer to assigning sex at birth, it still remains false.
One’s sex is observed and noted at birth.
Gender refers to nouns in some languages.
These kids are going to be so screwed up and probably won’t live a very long life.
“What about you now, are you prejudiced?”
In my final year high school it was the first year of integration. The courts ordered instantaneous integration. The government’s solution was to close a brand-new school in a black neighborhood that had carpets and air-conditioning and bus the entire black population, one hour each way, to our school, which had no air-conditioning, and we were put on double sessions. The blacks were spring-loaded in the pissed-off condition. There were riots, two murders, a couple of slashings, including a white girl whose ambition was to be a fashion model. I was knocked completely unconscious twice in what is now called the knockout game.
As a result, I am warry around any black I don’t know. I have observed that white people do not engage in the knockout game, but it is a rite of passage for many blacks. I got along well with blacks in the work environment but realize their work persona may be wildly different from their not-at-work persona. Over a thirty-plus year working career I’ve had one close black friend. But over the same period, I’ve only had a handful of close white friends and only two I am still in contact with.
Prejudice is necessary to survival. If we had to develop a new set of rules for every type of encounter, we’d be dead in short order. Am I warry, yes. But if someone offers an interaction then I will take it at face value unless or until something warns me off.
Blacks frequently complain that they are arrested for drugs more frequently than whites and this is prejudice. (Forget that yes, they do have drugs. Their complaint is that they get arrested more than whites who are generally in the majority, and this is prejudice.) I have a rental house in a predominantly black neighborhood. While working on it there was a black boy on a banana seat half-size bike...so, pretty young. He yelled down the street to a family of five whites walking along, “Hey! ‘Y’all want to buy pot. Just got a big load!” (They were about 100 feet away, so he was loud enough to be heard.) “Well, ‘y’all see me around. Just stop me anytime.”
A nicely dressed adult black stopped to talk to the neighbor in the house across the street. The neighbor is a really nice black...a former air force sergeant. I glanced over and stopped dead. The body language from the sergeant put me on guard. After a bit the man waved goodby and got back into his Cadillac and drove off. I went over and said, “Cephus, what the heck was that about?” He said, “That flucking (n-word) tried to sell me coke.” I said, “Do you know him?” He said, “Fluck no I don’t know him.” So, it’s clearly prejudiced that blacks are arrested more than whites.
To answer your question, I won’t go out of my way to befriend blacks because there may or may not be a lot of baggage in any relationship that I have no control over. But if there’s an opportunity for a good relationship with anyone, I won’t tun it down. I’ve had zero problems with my many black tenants and lots of problems with some of the white ones. I am, however, certainly going to be more warry around blacks than whites in any similar situation. So, yes.

She’s is soon to find out how lemmings come about.
Put the kid out on the streets so he/she can decide for themselves which gender and species they wish to be, which parents they want, or if they want to wear human clothing, go naked or wrap themselves in fur or feathers.
Well, the parents who take their kids to drag queen story hour, are virtue signaling their tolerance and liberalism. They are bending over backwards to prove that they are liberal.
I have a nice shop. My boys had advanced wooden weaponry even if it is no longer available in stores. They turned out to thoughtful gentlemen who don’t take crap off of others.
Gabriella, I don’t mean to upset your carefully and thoughtfully balanced apple cart, but GOD determined to sex of your child at the moment of conception.
For example, if GOD determines your offspring is to be a female then a female she will be from the day of her birth till the day she dies, a long time I hope.
GOD lets us know of His decision based on the DNA of your child. Despite science’s best efforts, DNA cannot be changed.
When your child asks, “Mommie, what sex am I?” consider answering, “GOD chose your to be a female long before you were born.” Or male as the case may be.
Yeah just the sort of response we’ve come to expect from you...PL. Societies function upon generally agreed on cultural norms...yes sure cultures are different and roles may be defined differently from culture to culture.Yet Women generally can have babies and men cannot. That is true universally despite the wishful Disney magical kingdom thinking of some men who wish to be women and vice/versa.
The biological reality exists beyond the fusses over whether a woman can make a good firefighter or a Prime Minister or whether African tribes who may be matriarchal in operations function better vs Patriarchal run tribes..
Hopefully if the child mentioned is a biological girl this parent will at least explain in a way that is fact based and neutral that she can still get pregnant even if she feels like she is a boy but yet likes to be with boys in a potentially sexual way.
