It's a ???: Parents Decide To Keep Their Child's Gender a Secret

They are using their child to make a statement. Let the kid be a kid and not a soap box for them to stand on! It's ok to be a boy, it's ok to be a girl. It's ok for a kid to grow up and be ok with the gender he/she was born with. I know in today's society that's not cool or trendy but it's true.

I don't see what the big deal is. I just don't get why they are keeping the gender a secret. . If their family and friends know then it's not a secret is it? I don't think people really care and they are causing drama.

Tell me what the matter is with being identified as a boy or as a girl.... these people are not doing their children any favors. These parents are mentally abusing their children. Poor kids.

this makes no sense to me...

i think they are doing their child a major disservice.... and have set themselves up in a situation where their child will probably grow up resenting his parents!!!

They are going to cause their child to be exactly what they don't, be an outcast. They could be setting this child up for bullying which is going to make him or her depressed. Sad. I bet their sons don't run off to the girls section to buy dresses, or they would be picked on at school for sure.

Blithering Buffoons! I'm just saying! They are not discouraging stereotypes; they are encouraging weirdos. Do they really get a kick out of their offspring being cruelly teased or ridiculed. Hey, kids are cruel! Let's face it. and the names! Jazz and Storm? Really? Poor kids. I feel sorry for them. Their pseudo-scientific parents are unqualified to do this social experiment.

Wow this is really sad. The older child is already labeled and can't even attend school, now this poor baby will spend his ungendered life explaining why this came about. For someone who didn't want their child stereotyped this couple labeled him as an oddity right off the bat. I'm afraid the poor thing will go through a very painful life. Sounds to me like the parents are looking for notoriety without regard for their child.

What don't understand it, it's either Girl or Boy...

I think it is over the top. I can understand they want their child to decide what they want and such but you need to raise the child like its gender. There are different ways to raise each gender. Not to mention, to keep your family out of the loop, that is depriving them of their relative. I think its wrong.

This makes no sense!

Wow!! I see counseling in all of these children's future! Not a fan! These children are going to find themselves emotionally distressed and disturbed when they get older. Why would parents intentionally do this to their children?

I believe this is absurd!!! OF course they need to know their gender! I am all for not stereotyping, I have a daughter and a son and they are both allowed to act how they choose, however they do understand that there are differences and they can not use the same bathrooms when we are in public!! Pretty crazy that my preschool aged children are smarter than these people! How come you have to get a background check to adopt a cat but not have a baby??

Wow! Just when you think you've heard it all, something like this happens! I have a hard time understanding this couples over-the-top need to take on stereotypes. There are plenty of other ways they could "make their point" without involving their own child. Who are they to deny this baby of his or her own identity? A large part of that being who you are, what you are and where you came from.

Who cares what your child is? It's a boy or girl down below regardless of whatever these people are trying to "protect" this child from. This poor kid is going to be so screwed up.
