My mum and mum are nuts please help

Please help as I fear my mother and mum have lost the plot as they honestly don’t fit my criteria of a normal parent and now they are bringing me up gender neutral as to make me even more confused in their own self belief to try and justify their choices ...


This I fear will be a cry of many children in the years to come in the name of political correctness


Mother is raising a gender-neutral baby called Sparrow
https://mol.im/a/6776703

Ari Dennis, 30, believes babies should wait until they can determine their gender
Inspired to raise Sparrow gender-neutral after other child changed gender age 4
Keeps Sparrow's anatomy secret and says Hazel calls the child 'baby sibling'
A Florida parent who calls her one-year-old baby 'Theyby' in order to raise the infant as gender neutral so the child can decide its sex at an older age today accused Piers Morgan of 'childism' for questioning the decision.
Ari Dennis, 30, and her partner said the family was inspired to raise Sparrow without a known gender after their older child, Hazel, decided to identify as non-binary aged four after being raised as a girl.
She told Good Morning Britain: 'We do not know what Sparrow’s gender is yet and, as regards to her anatomy, we choose to keep that secret except for a small list of caregivers.'
In the interview Dennis, who lives with two people who both identify as transgender, one of whom she is married to, said she would not reveal the gender of her baby and even the birth-certificate says 'sex-unknown’.
‘I’m in a multi-adult family, there’s three of us with an eight-year-old and a one-year-old. All the adults in our household identify as transgender – I’m legally married to one and in a relationship with another,' she said.
‘All children at this age are unable to understand gender. The child doesn’t have any gender yet.’
Dennis, who identifies as non-binary, said her mother did not know Sparrow's assigned sex during the first three months of the child's life even though she was living with the family.
Her older child Hazel tells people she has 'a baby sibling' when people ask about Sparrow.
When asked by Piers Morgan about Sparrow's anatomy, Dennis replied: 'That’s something we do not discuss unless it is with a medical professional.
‘Commonly, people born with one type of anatomy will identify as one gender and others with another.
‘But that totally negates the fact that there are thousands of people around the world for whom that’s not the case.'

Re: My mum and mum are nuts please help

I don't know how I feel about this. It's a bit extreme and I wonder if it's just them trying to get attention.
I know someone who was told he was a girl and dressed as one until he realized he wasn't, he's now 50 ish so there's nothing new about strange parenting. It's just that we get to hear about it now.

I wouldn't worry, it's not many people doing it. If it appears to be harmful, Social Services will get involved and the parents will wish they'd never told the Media

As they wouldn't discuss the child's gender perhaps it has both and they're waiting to see which it favours in behaviour before surgery. Some are born with both ovaries and testes.

We're certainly living in curious times now and I'm usually quite modern/forward thinking...but this baffles Me...Beam Me up Scotty.

When I was a little girl my dad used to tell me when I grew up I would be a big boy and I used to cry because I believed him! We laugh about it now but at the time it really upset me.

Mind you I resemble a man now with all these damn chin hairs!

Re: My mum and mum are nuts please help

As for the opening post, all this stuff about gender neutral etc, I'm so sick of hearing about it, its everywhere we turn, no getting away from it and I personally don't want to hear it. I'm beginning to wonder that all what is happening is to do with evolution. Whatever it is, I'm not enjoying how life is changing

I'm with you May. I said not long ago, it won't be too long before all humans will be walking around in navy blue overalls. The term Man and Woman will be obsolete!!
