Children Without Gender

Here is an alarming development. Parents believe that it is cruel to raise a child with a gender distinction, and so they are seeking to keep the gender a secret, and raise the child with no mention of gender at all.

Here is part of the article:

"Pop’s parents, both 24, made a decision when their baby was born to keep Pop’s sex a secret. Aside from a select few – those who have changed the child’s diaper – nobody knows Pop’s gender; if anyone enquires, Pop’s parents simply say they don’t disclose this information.

In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, the parents were quoted saying their decision was rooted in the feminist philosophy that gender is a social construction.

“We want Pop to grow up more freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset,” Pop’s mother said. “It's cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead.”"

To ignore gender is to ignore a critical aspect of God's creation.
