'Boy or girl?' Parents raising 'theybies' let kids decide
NBC News ^ | July 19, 2018

Posted on 07/19/2018 9:04:30 AM PDT by SMGFan

AMBRIDGE, Mass. — Three-year-old twins Zyler and Kadyn Sharpe scurried around the boys and girls clothing racks of a narrow consignment store filled with toys. Zyler, wearing rainbow leggings, scrutinized a pair of hot-pink-and-purple sneakers. Kadyn, in a T-Rex shirt, fixated on a musical cube that flashed colorful lights. At a glance, the only discernible difference between these fraternal twins is their hair — Zyler’s is brown and Kadyn’s is blond.

Is Zyler a boy or a girl? How about Kadyn? That’s a question their parents, Nate and Julia Sharpe, say only the twins can decide. The Cambridge, Mass., couple represent a small group of parents raising “theybies” — children being brought up without gender designation from birth. A Facebook community for these parents currently claims about 220 members across the U.S.

“A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” Nate Sharpe told NBC News. “For us, it means raising our kids with gender-neutral pronouns — so, ‘they,’ ‘them,’ ‘their,’ rather than assigning ‘he,’ ‘she,’ ‘him,’ ‘her’ from birth based on their anatomy.”

This is a very good example of the frog in the kettle.

If someone had told you thirty years ago that we’d be here today, you would have said they were NUTS. I thought the same thing when they first started pushing homosexuality as normal on us years ago - NOBODY is going to buy into THAT. How wrong I was - so glad to have fewer years ahead of me than behind.

_______________________________________

Unfortunately that’s just what happened...

the child’s gender WAS determined/assigned at birth...and before even that moment...

SIGH

There’s no getting away from the fact that the child IS already a HE or a SHE...

I used to love to play with my brother’s trucks and cars but my parents had enough sense to not take that as a desire to be a boy...

My brother would agree that he was the “Daddy” when I played with my dolls but he never wanted to dress in pink...

There’s something decidedly abusive and cruel about this...No guidance from the parents...

Negligence is considered a form of abuse...Wheres the DHS on this ???

The children need to be removed from the home of the incompetent parents, who cannot tell which baby has a penis and which baby has a vagina. Save the children.

The very latest in virtue signaling.

I went to Whole Foods yesterday (yeah, I know I know, but their seafood is the best here in landlocked AZ). The checker, who was easily observable as a female, had a sticker on the name tag that had a male name and ‘he/him requested’. I didn’t use the name or any pronouns, but I may have to rethink how much I want to go to Whole Foods again.

“A theyby is, I think, different things to different people,” Nate Sharpe told NBC News. “

Yes. To these parents a "theyby" is a trendy accessory to signal their virtue. To everyone else it's a victim of crazy parents.

DHS people are liberal, so they would see nothing wrong with this.

What happens when these kids go to school? In spite of all the gender craziness nowadays, schools still have certain issues of male and female.

Yes it is.

God created order in the universe.

These people are challenging that order, claiming that the order does not exist.

God is not mocked without consequences. Those consequences most likely will fall on the children but may fall on both child and parents.

If this heresy continues in society the consequences will be severe.

Give it a couple of weeks and they'll be gone. Someone that toxic and/or unstable won't last.

Locally, there's someone like who you describe. I've seen him/her/it in a handful of different retail positions in town over the past 12-18 months. I think they move every few weeks.

Person is pretty hard to miss. Latin-looking dude with a heavy beard .....Long hair in a ponytail, full drag, and makeup so thick it may have been applied with a trowel.

It's nice to find out which businesses want to virtue-signal. Target was the latest, which was no surprise.

I'm not a big fan of Child Protection Services (CPS) stepping in and taking children from parents under the guise of abuse, but cases like this make a strong argument for it.

Not that many states these days could be trusted to do a better job of avoiding this sort of abuse. We'll be paying the price for these sort of experiments for decades to come.

If CPS was a real agency, they would be on this like white on rice.

But unfortunately their raison d’etre is to keep families dysfunctional.
