Child abuse

Another shocking case of parents abusing their child to test radical social theory:

A couple who concealed the sex of their child and raised it as ‘gender neutral’ for five years have finally revealed - it’s a boy. ...
It's not as if there isn't plenty of evidence of  huge biological differences between the sexes
... Reflecting the fashionable idea that male and female roles have been "socially constructed," most commentators speak of gender instead of sex. ...
... There's only one problem with this beguiling vision of androgyny. Whatever we might like to believe ... sex distinctions remain a deeply rooted part of human nature. ... a wealth of scientific evidence showing that these differences are "hardwired" into our biology.
What are the odds that "Sasha" won't be deeply psychologically scarred? There oughta' be a law.

Using children as guinea pigs is the new thing, and indeed it is pure child abuse. These people are unfit to be parents, but then we have radical special interest groups promoting similar child abuse in the school system. I find them even more dangerous since they target every school child.

There's truth in that, Alain. Those numbskull parents got their radical ideas somewhere - I'm guessing from the "education" system at one level or another.

Anon, I think I see your point:)

Would these parents have been so strong on the 'gender-neutral' bit had the child been a girl? Somehow don't see combat pants and the British equivalent of G I Joe being partof their value system. Interesting that being 'gender-neutral' seems to always mean the feminization of boys, not the reverse.

Good point, Frances. For all their claims of "gender neutrality" they sure seem to have the boy dressed in a lot of female/effeminate clothing.
