  • There are many decades of evidence, involving children that are born with both genitalia. And I will say from first hand knowledge. That gender identity is a HUGE thing. Most of the suicides are involving gender identity or homosexual tendencies. I would say, DONt play with fire. I feel sorry for this child.

  • I completely disagree with what the parents are doing. I understand their need to prevent gender roles and stereotypes from affecting their child, but the idea of what makes a male a male, and a female a female are more anatomical than they are psychological.

  • You can't plant an apple seed and tell it to chose whether it wants to be a banana or apple. It just is an apple. A female is a female. A man is a man. I don't care how you explain it. That's just the way God made it. People kill me when they keep trying to come up with their own idea of life to fit the wsy they think.

  • The male anchor comes off really arrogant in this one

  • Cenk is all wrong about this. He is reinforcing exactly the kind of attitude that justifies these parents' behavior. They're fighting an uphill battle with society, but I'm sure they know that. They're just taking a stand. I thought it was weird at first, but the more I watched this video, the more I understood it. Good for them.

  • "Sex" refers to the biological and physiological characteristics that define men and women.

    "Gender" refers to the socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women.

    -World Health Organization

    The parents keeping their child gender neutral doesn't necessarily mean they're keeping him/her sex neutral.

  • Ummmm.........I don't really see what's wrong with what the parents are doing.

  • Those hippies should look up the case of David Reimer. Dr. John Money banked his career on the very same idea that gender identity was completely a result of societal programming. Of course he was wrong, and his little "experiment" ended disastrously for the Reimer family.

  • if this child is a hermaphrodite then i think the parents are doing the right thing, rather than accidentally assign the wrong sex.

  • Heh. Silly hippies. Gender is fo kids.

  • There is a main difference between males and females. I hate feminists who have to ahve NO difference. NO. We are biologically different (not just anatomy-wise).

  • @darkprincess1012 Not sure what you mean but we are just anatomically different. The rest = society.

  • @MegaWinnieGirl Actually, no. We have biological differences. Hormones play a main part of it. That's why girls tend to like certain things and guys tend to like certain things. Further more, there are differences with how a female brain works and how a male brain works, example: females are better at multi-tasking. Further more, when choosing a mate, females have a different SUBCONSCIOUS criteria. These are just a FEW examples. There are too many to list here. That's why i dislike people

  • who want to make everything the same. Females PHYSICALLY aren't as strong as males because we build muscle more slowly (due to testosterone levels) and also because we have a natural layer of fat. There are so many more differences. Human beings are complex creatures, its not just whether you have a penis or vagina. Sometimes, there should be societal differences, sometime there shouldn't. To be a true humanitarian, you have to figure out which are which, and not just make EVERYTHIGN the same.

  • Girls and guys tend to like different things (I like guy stuff) because they are raised in different groups from birth. Multi-tasking isn't a real thing, nobody can really multi-task because the human brain isn't designed to focus on multiple tasks at once (it does it simultaneously). These are just things to separate us when we don't have to be. Yes there are other differences like strength but in our society I don't think that really matters. Anyone should be able to hang out with anyone.

  • @MegaWinnieGirl Wow. You are really ignorant. There are SCIENTIFIC differences. I never said that men and women aren't equal, I'm just saying that some things ARE different. Please, please look stuff up before you start spewing it out. I never said that we can't hang out with each other. I'm saying that there are actual significant differences between both genders even if there were no social roles. Please do your research.

  • @darkprincess1012 Why am I ignorant? I know there are differences. I even said in my last reply there are differences, lol, unfortunately I can't ignore some of them. I'm just saying none of them really matter. Social roles are the biggest divider between the sexes. If I like guy stuff then I should be fully accepted as 'one of the guys'. I shouldn't have to deal with other girls picking on me because of it.

  • its gonna suck when he/she grows boobs or doesnt and everyone knows. unlesshe/she has small tits. then it could get confusing.

  • wait so if the kid is like gender less then at school which bathroom does the child go in? or do they have a "special bathroom" for the kid? i dont get that.

  • WTF would you not reveal your gender!?

  • Terrible parents. It's the job of a parent to teach kids how the world works.  Jayar is on point here.

  • This is amazing, every child should be raised this way, sos not to force gender roles upon them

  • I suspect that anna is a hippie, she gets so bold when cenk states something against the parents.

  • poor kid.... fucking hippies.

  • Im with the black dude, "see what language he learns" 

  • Some children are born of intermediate physical sex. Forcing the wrong gender on them will do more damage than letting the child decide.

  • i thought parents are suppose to teach the kids? so if the kids wna go potty, go figure out urself! find the potty! its freedom baby!

  • @sariatiqaramli thats not quite the same thing.

  • @sariatiqaramli "freedom baby!"...

    I see what you did there.

  • Cenk needs to mind what happens in his own country instead of having so many opinions on what happens in mine.

  • I don't think it's going to be that bad. Gender identity is inborn, if it wasn't there wouldn't be transgender people, and the Reimer case wouldn't exist. The only thing I'm worried about is what will happen when the child starts expressing their gender identity, weather it matches what's 'down there' or not. So far I haven't seen anything that confirms the parents won't be too neutral.

  • wooooooow >.>

  • Comment removed

  • I totally agreee with the guy in the video; this kid is going to need A LOT of therepy

  • These parents are absolute fools, they are pitiful for not only endorsing a stupid way of life , but trying to make money off their retarded decision and cause all this damn publicity

  • @Elfulcrum777

    Fetus that was A Typo. 

  • turk you are a professional? no you are a perpetrator of ignorant stereotypes, she doesn't have the information to discuss it either. This is uneducated opinions.

  • 2Feminist; stop using children for your choice agenda. Would you be ok with your child choosing to have sex? join an army? what if they choose to become lions not human? what if it prefers to live as a dog? will you support its intent to live in the wild? or be a pet? a role is a choice & sex is not. a hermaphrodite shouldnt be told nothing. it should be told it is a hermaphrodite and its grandma should know that! a 2yearold is smart enough? im sure you wouldnt let it eat that toy car

  • @themaniusedtob

    Ah giving some one A choice of how they Live is A social Agenda to you?

    An those are the worst three comparison I can Think of an we do let cheldren join the army when there Adult's an we promote it an come up with toy's an stuff...

    Even women go Now that how much this contry like kill pepole we Also let gay cause they can't get Marrired but they can go kill litle brown pepole to sorport A country that want let them have equality.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 No, you misunderstand. Would you let your child choose to live as a wolf in the wild if that is what they wanted? or how about be sexually active? or attempt to use a stove at 5? swallow a key as a baby or live as an animal or a cartoon character? a parent is responsible for a childs choices if a boy wants to live as a girl then ATLEAST TELL them they are boys, why? you wouldnt want junior going into the females bathroom and getting suspended at school right? 18 adult

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 my point is they are to young to choose or to even know what they are choosing you atleast need to explain the difference between a boy and a girl and the consequences in society for however they choose to live... children cannot make those choices... and if you are under 18 you cant join army UNLESS you have parents consent why because the PARENT gives the yes or no and youll never see a friggin baby in the army and thats who they are using as a social experiment here

  • @themaniusedtob

    well I don't Know I feel more like A girl on the Inside my parent would not let me wear make up an every one told me I'm A guy an I'm misriable cause of it...

    I know this is A off subject kinda retarded ofensive thing to say but they let you cut part of A boy dick off why can't you dress them like A girl...

    Atleast the Parent's are trying to not hurt there kid.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 If you have a Penis your a guy, if you have a Vagina , your a girl that simple you cant deny your own anatomy fool 

  • @Elfulcrum777

    I Am that I Am A Fool to you A God to me Fool!

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 My point is if you have a dick your not a girl nuff said

  • @Elfulcrum777

    Gender is Gender but Feminity is Open to debate No Humen is Naturaly Feminine If you went back to the time of cave humen male or female would not be feminine an the men would only A litle more Masculine.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 Well i don't believe in cave people, or neanderthal or anything like that because evolution is a bullshit theory, but if you want to look at like that, then nobody on Earth is the way nature intended but my opinion is If you have a dick act like a guy , if you have a Vagina act like the girl its simple as that if you have confusion about this you should learn to just control your feelings they are obviously clouding your better judgement

  • @Elfulcrum777

    yeah well do you beleive in the progression of the fetish in the womb cause we all start out as hermaphadite's you Know that corect?

    Penis are relly clitoris an we All have male hormones An Female hormone's...

    gender role have nothing to do with reality mostly cause there is No gender as it come to soul's.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 Souls are Genderless, but that is another matter, as a human being on Earth depending on your genitalia that is what determines whether you are male or female in addition to hormones, now some people have hormone deficiencies but in your case i think your feelings are just clouding your better judgment

  • @Elfulcrum777

    It soul's are Genderless an thatthe true reality then are you not comiting A bad sininconforming to Gender Role's an deviding god creature's in to two seprate Group's when they are One?

  • @Elfulcrum777

    Typowhen I write sin in conforming close together.

  • @Elfulcrum777

    If to say Every One Have soul as I'm not sure if christian's atleast do or not.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 Remember its a baby not an 17, 18 year old just a baby who may make horrible mistakes because of not knowing a few basic things growing up. if your kid boy at the age of 7 years old says "dad, mom, i like boys because im a girl" then atleast explain that he isnt true isnt a boy because of how he was born but if he wants to live as a girl and your fine with that (i dont agree with letting a small child make adult choices) then so be it.. but your kids are not pawns

  • 2Feminist; stop using children for your choice agenda. Would you be ok with your child choosing to have sex? join an army? what if they choose to become lions not human? what if it prefers to live as a dog? will you support its intent to live in the wild? or be a pet? a role is a choice & sex is not. a hermaphrodite shouldnt be told nothing. it should be told it is a hermaphrodite an its grandma should know that! a 2yearold is smart enough? im sure you wouldnt let it eat that toy car

  • Parents should stop using their children as pawns for their social agendas.. if children should be allowed to choose such important things as parents would you be ok with them choosing to fly an airplane? have sex? join an army? what if they choose to be lion not human? will you support its intent to live in the wild? gender is a choice & sex is not.. a hermaphrodite (a concept generally applied to animals) shouldnt be told nothing. it should be told it is a hermaphrodite! 

  • Heh heh heh -- I liked Barbies for one reason-- she looked like FRIKKIN' BARBARA EDEN!! HOO HA! And she used to kiss my BATMAN ACTION FIGURE!!

  • these subtitles don't make sense...

  • ITS PAT!

  • Wtf..

  • well it'll come out later when they go through puberty so why r they making such a big deal it'll come out eventually

  • @lkbthabeast Because if it's a boy it's going to haunt him for life.

  • so this muts be what americans call repubelcians?

  • The Douchebag Talking Heads are totally missing the point of this. What right does the government or whomever have to know what gender the child is? The child will know what he is.

  • @bootme21 Wow, you must really be in favor of anarchy. "Do what thou wilt will be the whole of the law" and what not.

  • Wtf is wrong with these people. It's NOT crazy for them it's there option! Dude it gives the kid the right to choose. Too many of the bull is put out there forcing people with peer pressure to do what they think is right. People like this limits the world of being literally and fully free.To help society reach a Utopian state.

  • Sounds like a social experiment rather than child raising.

  • I would just like to point out that this is NOT standard child rearing in Sweden.

  • I know when I raise my kids, I will avoid gender stereotypical roles and clothing (or let them choose their own- I will walk into a store and say "what do you wanna wear? STICK TO THE BUDGET!" If my boys want tutus, I'll buy em tutus!

    But until they indicate that they are otherwise, I will raise them calling them by the gender that matches their sex.

  • this isn't illegal.. so what the fuck? who cares?.. why report on it?..

  • @SmokeyCough It makes you ask questions and look for answers within yourself.

    I'm guessing you're one of those people who don't like to question things and like to keep everything black and white.

  • SEX is determined by your genitalia at birth. GENDER is taught to you through parents, teachers, peers, media. They are two very different things. Not saying biology doesn't play a role, but gender is socially constructed and we do have to LEARN how to act. Like they said, if the parents don't socialize the kid to be masculine or feminine, society will- and it will happen real quick. You are literally treated and socialized completely different depending on your sex the second you are born.

  • @aver6934

    You're mostly correct- except that Gender is born as well. You mean Gender ROLES are taught.

    Gender is a physical aspect- its located entirely in the brain. Current studies indicate that hormone levels effect whether a child's gender matches their sex.

    The gender ROLES need to be blurred, but gender will always remain. There will always be people who identity as "masculine" "feminine" or somewhere in between.

  • @Treemeadow Good point there are obvious differences between male and females due to hormones, but I still believe we are born with a sex more than a gender. Male and female humans are actually more alike in behavior and appearance than many other species. We just choose/are taught to make ourselves seem even more different, ie makeup, hair styles, plastic surgery, clothing styles.

  • continued.......... We even attribute basic human traits to being male or female like nurturing and intuitive, or competitive and assertive. Anyway I found a quote that describes it better than I can: "Sex is between the legs, gender is between the ears" lol.

  • Gender roles are almost entirely determined by society. It's called gender performativity. She doesn't know what she's talking about.

  • theres no point its about till 4-5 they dont give a shit if the toys are pink or blue

  • 0:45 okay, news reports r serious right?

    Why cant he pronounce liberals? -___-

  • @WolfChika13 Of course he knows how to pronounce it correctly. He is just making a joke; Cenk does it all the time

  • Those parents clearly haven't heard about David Reimer- kid got his member burned off in a botched circumcision and was raised from infancy as a girl instead. Well it didn't work- he resisted constantly, eventually reverted to living as a guy and after a failed marriage killed himself. Gender itself isn't a social construct- it's a biological inevitability. Even if you're transgendered it's because you have one genders brain in anothers body.

  • Gender is a social construction. Frankly avoiding gender constraints, roles, and double standards is a good thing. However, not letting somebody be socialized to the inevitable social norms that everybody else is socialized to is not. By not event letting somebody be aware of social norms positive or negative, you're not even giving somebody the chance to ignore or be indifferent to them. I speak as a realist when I say "That kid is going to have a shitty time in highschool"

  • this is what happens when you lace too much smoke...

  • "the therapy bill"? therapy is free in sweden.

  • this bitch on tyt should just suck some dick n shut up..what an annoying bitch

  • this is bullshit...come the fuck on...if it wants to be gay as it grows up let it be...but for fucks sake !!! what is this shit man...just shoot these fuckin parents...they treat the child like a guinea pig ..

  • just kick it in the nuts lol, if he falls it's a guy if not then a girl LMAO

  • My parents weren't like that, but just didn't discuss it and avoided the idea of sex differences, although yes, they told me that I was male. The problem was that since I grew up with just a brother, and they didn't talk to me about gender, I didn't learn that girls didn't have penises until the end of first grade, and believed that my testes were tumors or something until I asked my pediatrician. I can't imagine that this will turn out good for the kid in question.

  • I can only speak for myself, but I've always know my gender, I didn't need to be taught it, gender is intrinsic.

  • Comment removed

  • @andiGrooms

    I Think in saying Intrinsic you'r saying Instinctive an if so you'r wrong gender roles are taught to you by socitey Every One is A Clean slate at first an there this brain wash by Media Parents An more then any thing relly religion...

    We need some gender structure but but throwing Alot of Androgyny or grey Area in there could Atleast be Alot more Fun if Any Thing Life is to short for conservitive horse shit.

    Peace 666

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 Gender roles are not just taught they are innate the same way they are in the animal kingdom.

  • @fmcneillii

    No cause Humen stand up Right there for we have the same genital this small an or inverted...

    Animal do not have humen vagina's like Women that why they mate differently...

    Men an Women start out the same in the eraly stage of Life in the Womb we where Hermathdite's an still are the same with few Exception's that make Life on Earth Possable so let's Celebrate the simlarality an the nesscacery defrence's an not put shame on the pepole who do an together we All Freak out.

  • @NATIONALCOMMUNISM666 Men and women are different it's proven biologically, even our brains aren't structured the same way. If you believe that then transgendered people shouldn't exist. whether you are a man or a woman is something you know regardless of the outside world or whether you have a penis or not. Try telling a trangendered woman there is no such thing as differences in gender.

  • @fmcneillii

    Yeah an I will them that they can get violent if they want there an evolutionary Instinct though that About it.

  • huh... how does he go in a public bathroom it will give away gender

  • Uhm, I think they tell the kid what it is. But I think they're doing a great thing. Why do you need to know the sex of a child you meet, anyway? Because you want to know "how" to treat him or her. Because we do treat men and women differently. Props to this couple for protesting that. The kid won't be messed up.

    Even if the kid did get messed up, psychiatric help is free here in Sweden, so... :P

  • I think they have really good intentions, but they're going about it in the wrong way. What I think would be a better idea is to tell the kid what their biological sex is, but let the kid play around with gender roles and see if the kid feels like it's a boy, or a girl. And if the two things match up, great. If not, take the kid to a therapist and see if maybe they had GID and if they do figure out what they want to do about that.

  • Are these parents disguising the gender only to the outside world? This may be wise in a way for the protection of this Human Being. This child WILL understand who it is in time without being gender "labeled" by others. At first glance, this is an issue of privacy & WILL be interesting to see how this WILL pan out.

  • If you wanna read more about it go to unc.edu/~lorelei/sexroles.html

    (the text is in a red colour, and that's really annoying, but it's still a good read).

  • Also, I have to disagree with the host on this one. Gender roles are TOTALLY learned! The roles assigned to a gender are developed within a culture and are taught to children by that culture. There is a tribe called the Tchambuli tribe that was studied by Margaret Mead. They have completely opposite gender roles. The women go out hunting and are dominant and in charge and the men are always worrying about their appearance and dependent on the women.

  • I read this story in my English lit. class called "X: A Fabulous Child's Story" and it's exactly like why this couple is doing. It's a cool story, and they message behind it is awesome, but in the real world, it just doesn't work like that.

  • Stupid hippies...always been acting nuts...

  • this is a terrible idea. Being raised in a family with a pretty heavy feminist influence(super mild compared to this), finding my place as a 'man' was that much harder. There are certain strengths and expectations that come with gender roles, and for a straight male at least, I feel it is especially important to recognize these. At the very least, to appeal to women. It has been my exploration of my masculinity that has helped me most in attraction and relationships.

  • Anna has this spot on. The idea of hiding the child's physical gender is so the world doesn't treat him/her solely as male or female. By dressing him/her up as both on different days, s/he gets to experience both types of treatment and therefore is able to realise which option makes them more comfortable. I wish every parent did this. I know I'd have benefited from it so much. Instead it took me 15 years to realise society was treating me incorrectly, and my parents even longer to accept my sex.

  • I used to think that the world would be so much better off if we all were raceless hermaphrodites so that we wouldn't have any differences to fight about. Looking at it closely though, I see that humans are so petty that we would find other methods of descrimination.

  • i wish my parents raised me that way im trans so that would have made my childhood way easier.

  • @anibioman tmi

  • @sk8erfreak9242 how is that tmi it pertains to the subject at hand and it isnt extremly personal.

  • not dressing a child in a boyish or girly way, etcetera, while they're incapable of having an preference *a baby* i say let'em go

  • I wish I were genderless.

    People shouldn't care so fucking much about gender.

  • The child has a right to choose what life they wish to live.

  • @maythehedgehogangel I'm not aware what a bunk is

  • Ana has it on this one

  • you just look at his sex.organ and you know what it is, this is 100% bullshit

  • I think that the woman is only half-right. A lot of gender differences are biological. Male and female brains and hormones differ, and some male/female behavioural patterns will probably develop regardless of their treatment. However I also think modern views on gender roles also inform the development of sex-specific behaviours. It's been shown many times that parents treat boys and girls differently even as babies, and I wonder how much influence this has on final development...

  • Parents don't teach their kids language. Kids pick it up. It is called language acquisition.

  • what about when the child becomes a teen? Then the gender will be exposed.

  • Fucking Hippies.

  • haha dumb parents haha

  • it's the question of nature vs nurture.

  • I have 13 month who pick out what she plays with and helps with what she wears. So, a two year old shouldn't have a problem with it. I guess you underestimate the intelligent of someone you don't know with a bias based on their age. If a child has choices, then its not hard to see them make decisions.

  • how nice of the childs parents to force there ideals on there child from a young age.

  • @Toazoraac haha wow, well good luck with that you freak. 

  • @Toazoraac haha omg are you serious? crazy.

  • This guy is so right on! Let your kid be whoeva they wanna be and dont force your beliefs on them. (haha and btw, I have an almost 2 year old and no way can she pick out her own clothes)

  • @Toazoraac well we hate you too

  • These idiot parents should take a look at some science! Wouldn't hurt TYT much either!

  • I agree with him, if they don't teach them....society will. Remember "it takes a village to raise a child."

  • What if the kid's a hermaphrodite?!

  • @UnderlordZ then h/she's double fucked.

  • good that theraphy and healthcare is free in Sweden and Norway, Denmark and so on.

    The states is the ones with the messed up helthcare.

    But that wasnt the point of the video, but had to shoot that in.

    You guys rock youtube

  • @loste585We don't have a messed up healthcare, itä's good compared to america, you're being fed with stupid propaganda like a sheep, so shut your retarded mouth.

  • What the fuck sick Swedish people are these? They should get arrested. Fucking Hippies, it's most likely the people I saw driving a Volvo in Malmö four years ago or more.

  • @Gameomg trolling anyone h8in?

  • @Gameomg Yes, because putting people in jail is always a good solution, what a retard you are. Look at your failing system.

  • @Imhornydadcomeinside

    to your answer to my comment.

    i know sewdens healthcare is great, i am not americanm why do u think that,

    dumme svenske......nej da.

    hilsen norge

  • @loste585Do you know that the scandinavian countries scores higher than the US? And that danes, swedes and norwegians are more content with their healthcare? Get out of Scandinavia norwegian selfhater.

  • @Imhornydadcomeinside

    how am i a norwegian selfhater?

    i love my country. i know scandinavian healthcare is great. and the US is messed up.

    i am happy that i am living in Norway and that we have the life quality we havew here.

    i dont get your responses. maybe u didnt get mine

  • @loste585 Nej, jag tror jag kommenterade fel av någon anledning. :P

  • The world is being overrun with faggots.

  • @TheYoungTurks Did you ever find out if it was a boy or a girl?

  • Wat restroom does IT go to

  • go to hell TYT, bring more hate and anger in this world and web.

  • i kinda understand where theyre coming from, but the whole way they go about it is completely fucktarded. this way the kid will grow up to be seriously confused. might need years of therapy. especially after they get into school. they will be bullied. bad.

  • I agree with the parents.. but you can say "Yes, you are a MALE, but you dont have to act like some tough guy" or "yes, you are FEMALE but you dont have to wear a dress"... Sure, go with unisex clothes, toys, and let the kid guide him-herself in thier own interest.

  • the parents are bringing the kid up as a tranny.

  • Not every day you see Cenk and Company criticizing people to their left.

  • i respect that couple for what they are doing. i think this guy is an ignorant fuck. this video, listening to this asshole, pisses me off.

  • @NotSoClassyBroad Eh, Cenk usually isn't a jackass :\ But i know what you mean, this is the few times i disagree with him.

  • @NotSoClassyBroad Actually I think your an ignorant fuck. Cenk states there's no problem in teaching a child bothb genders, he and everyone agrees that but there is NO reason to conceal the sex of the child.

  • What bathroom dose this kid go to? oO

  • @blackashell13 If his gender identity is male, he will use the men’s room and if her gender identity is female, she will use the lady’s room

  • I think they probably is going to not tell other people as long as it is a kid. probably only until the 3-4 years old, or maybe even 2

  • i know a black guy, he has been adopted by white parents at young age, not older than 3. his white mother, called him nigger, in a loving way (german speaking family, so she called him: negerchen).

    as a result, that boy never felt offended by disapproving glances, if he even felt adressed. he had to 'learn' to feel offended by racists.

  • Also, what the guy with the headphones said reminds me of an old hasidic jewish practice in which the child is "raised in silence."

  • Make for an interesting case study if they're able to keep it up.

  • She's right, it also hormones, not just what is ''learnt''.

  • how the fuck they gonna know what toilet to use and what changing room to go to iots bullshit

  • Gender is a social element TO AN EXTENT, but it is also a personal experience. How many people genuinely identify as a gender? What about transgendered people, who identify a gender, regardless of what their physical body is. The point is, they personally identify as a male or female, regardless of what society tells them. So it's personal, which this couple seem to be missing.

  • I am a boy who sees herself as a girl, and I wear a skirt some days and jeans another. Gender is mental, Sex is physical.

  • oh and scratch that first he that i put down. slight typo

  • gender is considered male or female.this is my opinion mind you. if this child ever gets curious he may ask a classmate or a friend, then what will happen, will the parents sue the child who told their kid what he is. and once it hits high school and gets to biology class, or watches porn on the internet for that matter he/she will find out and there is a 50 percent chance that this kid will think that all he/she thought believed in and loved is wrong and it will ruin that child.

  • LOL, I'm from Sweden and I saw this and I though "oh, same thing happened here" and then it turned out to be the exact same.

    They actually said in an article "Pop knows what sex Pop is" so he/she knows.

    And yes, he would be pretty bullied here too. Or at least made fun of.

  • this kid is gonna be Fd UP. these parents are idiots. interesting theory right. but remember you are playing with another life. the black guy in the yellow shirt(sorry dont know names first time here) made gr8 points!

  • I think its very important 4 a kid 2 understand his gender and what role his gender plays in the preservation of humanity and our way of life. A boy must understand that will grow 2 b a man and provide 4 his family and girl must understand that she will grow 2 be a woman, the backbone of the family. My thoughts really :)

  • @colinsilver105

    That idea is a joke. You're conforming to the conservative ideology of what a family is. Not all families work in a, "Man provides for family, woman stays at home." You are forgetting single parent/widowed families, gay families, and families who don't conform to that idiotic roles that gender need to follow.

  • @isaiasnaruto U made a great point friend. U really did. I actually didnt think of it that way. Im like Cenk, Im old school. Society is changing rapidly and I will have 2 conform soon enough to the changing times we live in. lol. But thanks 4 ur opinion. I very much appreciated it :)

  • I think the ideal they wanted to instil upon their child is that they shouldn't have to- and won't necessarily- prescribe to the gender they were born with.

  • Liberals? Feminists have never been liberal. They are, and have always been, socialist. For some strange reason americans think that socialism = liberalism. Infact socialism is the anti-thesis of liberalism.

  • wow, those parent just raised that kids suicide rate, now he'll be gender confused. dang those trippy hippies

  • Stupid commercials
