a young couple have had their first child and are refusing to tell anyone (including the grandparents) the sex of the child, saying the child can choose when she or he is older. And it's increasingly common to give a child a gender neutral name!
Sorry Lindy, but I think Sam Smith is ridiculous.
How can
one person be called a plural - 'They'?
All this is getting more stoopid by the day IMO.
The other part about not telling grandparents a baby's sex is equally ridiculous to me, too.
Will they never allow the grandparents to bath the child, change a nappy, or get the baby into their PJ's at bedtime? One would assume if a grandparent does these perfectly normal chores, they will see for themself what sex the baby is!
In the meantime, what will happen to all these 'gender neutral' kids when they go to school?
How will the parents dress them?
Which toilet will they use?
Will they wear skirts or trousers?
Will school uniforms have to change?
How do parents feel who are more traditional still?
Will they want their little girls in the loos/showers with boys?
Will they learn football or netball?
Will they learn needlework or metalwork?
I can foresee a multitude of problems for future generations if self-centred people don't get their acts together, and it is only the children who will suffer in the end.
