Mother of 'Genderless' Baby Storm Speaks Out

thats what im saying she slipped up so no point in hiding it anymore

You're right and it's no secret anymore since she just said it in the letter to the paper. That was smart!

I don't know that I would go by what a kindergartener said. When a sex is unknown, wouldn't most kids say "he"?

Like i said " I think the parents don't know the meaning of the word "Secret" and are confusing it with "publicity" or "propaganda"

well just cuz it says HE doesn't mean that Storm is a boy.

No, I believe Jazz was referring to himself liking "pink" in that comment.

"As Jazz grew, his love of bright colors (especially pink) and lots of fabric (especially dresses) continued" Also shows that they were dressing the boy in pink and dresses before he was able to choose what he wanted to wear. Obviously, if you show any boy a plain pair of pants versus a colorful and pretty printed dress, he's gonna want to wear what is more colorful and playful. At least mine would. Maybe the parents don't want anyone to know the sex of the new baby, so they can dress him in pink dresses and no one will get annoyed with them.....

No. Jazz likes to wear pink. And he's concerned about what others will think if his brother Storm also liked to wear pink.

I feel sorry for the little boys because they will not be able to function well in society. They will not know how to get along with other people. Yes it is the parents right to raise their children their way, but perhaps they are being a bit selfish in this matter???? It has nothing to do with being gay or being Canadian. There are "different" people all over the world.

I'm in agreement with you, it's complete denial on the parent's part. Yes, we should give kids the choice of what they feel they should be, but pushing certain behaviors on them is ridiculous. These kids will be so confused as to who they are that it will be damaging them in the future, especially when our society is stuck in a certain mindframe.

He is absolutely a boy! At least he will have something concrete to blame all his problems on in later life.

freaks

I've thought from the get-go he looks like a boy, too, but maybe he's a hermaphrodite? That's all I can think of that would justify the "letting the kid choose it's gender". Because you're BORN a gender-- unless you're born with both.

You're born with a *sex*. *Gender* is the social identity you fit into.

I agree that the child is a probably boy, but I don't believe that they are specifically trying to turn their children into girls. If that was the case, they would have names that are specifically feminine (like Jennifer, Michelle, etc), and they would just tell people that their children are girls. What they are doing instead is allowing their boys to play with whatever toys they want and wear whatever clothes they want, instead of just shoving toy guns and trucks into their face and hitting them upside the head if they cry.

And that is the thing. It is not the childs problem or the families problem . It is the ignorant people who will harass them. those who were brought up to be rude and intrusive by those who are rude and intrusive. If people would stop minding everyone elses business and stop worrying about eceryone elses lifestyle. and focus on their own messed up juvenile attitudes this would not be a newsstory. Just another couple trying to raise theie baby to not bend to gender rules.
