I object to this entire subject.
Reason being, I’m trying to be liberal.
Liberals tell us we should not assign a gender at birth to babies.
Thus, flowing from that logic, we should also not assign gender specific names to babies at birth, under the assumption that they will grow up to be members of the gender we assign them at birth.
We will not truly know the sex of each baby born until they grow up and decide what their gender identity is. So it’s a form of oppression to assign them a gender specific name at birth. Who the heck do these parents think they are???
The above is meant to be sarcastic. Just can’t resist poking fun at the liberals sometimes.
How about Gertrude and Gertrude? Can’t get more gender equal than that. Gertrude B Stein was a progressive lesbian. Among many achievements, “The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas”, the life history of her/his life partner.
“Liberals tell us we should not assign a gender at birth to babies.”
