The Gender Non-Reveal: How Gender-Neutral Parenting Harms Kids
American Thinker. com ^ | April 28, 2021 | Danielle Green

The newest generation, the children of Millennials, has been dubbed Generation Alpha -- and they’re coming up fast. What ideas are they bringing with them? For starters, they are “estimated to be the most gender-fluid and anti-sexist generation yet,” according to gender studies professor Dr. Kyl Myers.

Myers and her husband, Brent, represent a small but growing group of parents who are seeking to hasten this upcoming “gender revolution” by raising their own kids as gender-neutral. Their child, Zoomer, is an example of what some are calling theybies -- a combination of “they” and “babies,” referring to children whose parents refuse to tell them what their sex is. Myers explains, “We had seen [our child’s] genitals during the anatomy scan. But we didn’t think that information told us anything about our kid’s gender.” In fact, she has informed Zoomer that “some girls have penises and some boys have vulvas.”

But is it possible for a child to grow up with a solid identity without knowing his or her gender? Will our children benefit from a gender revolution that completely disassociates their bodies from their identity?

A Facebook group for parents like Myers is called “Parenting Theybies.” The group’s rules make the radical declaration that “there is no such thing as biological sex.” Group administrators argue that “while people have bodies, chromosomes, and genitals, calling this ‘sex’ is a social construction rather than a biological fact.” The rules further warn that any posts referring to biological sex will be flagged. Apparently, science doesn’t fit the narrative.

Myers has authored a controversial book, Raising Them: Our Adventure in Gender Creative Parenting, in which she says she wants Zoomer to “explore the sex and gender spectrums, try on different identities, and self-determine what ‘fits.’”

It’s going to be 1000x worse than those parents who didn’t want to raise their children with any particular religion or God. That by itself has been a disastrous ideology.

“Gender Neutral” parenting is child abuse.

Here’s a weird one that I’ve noticed a lot lately and I’ve been meaning to mention it…. In many of the computer games I play, many of the protagonists are now females (of course). Most of the players are still men and boys, BUT they are all very comfortable (and even enthusiastic) about selecting a female avatar for themselves, even in “shooter-type” and other games where it’s unnecessary. Maybe not a big deal, but very curious.

Some do it because many of the male players are more generous with female toons.

More like generation mentally ill beta pansies. Any parent who does this should be sent to jail for child abuse and their children should be sent to 're-education camps' so they can find out who they really are, ie male, female, then and only then, will these kids be generation 'alpha'.

I had never even given that a second thought (don't play video games much these days!) but that IS curious, if true.

Of course, part of me wonders of it has to do with young guys obsessions with the female form, and the way they are portrayed in video games.

This is an old GIF, but I still find it hilarious! Its hard to see, but it is some First Person Shooter game, and some kid is looking at a poster on the wall of a woman wearing a skimpy swimsuit, and another player is gawking at it when he gets a round in the butt!

Our crazy world gets crazier. This woman is so proud of raising a gender neutral child. Years ago such a woman would be considered loony tunes. But nowadays, she’s some sort of visionary.

I wonder if she identifies as this child’s mother, as opposed to being a generic parental unit. Isn’t that discriminatory? Is she a gender neutral parent, or does she identify as a woman, as a mother?

I wonder what her husband thinks of all of this.

I know one couple like this. And they were VERY upset when their “boy” (he is 12 now), started playing with trucks and started “liking” girls.

They felt like they failed.

Her “husband” is probably another woman.

Many years ago I was part of a leftist play group with local heavy hitters. We all had 2 children each. High end people, Doctors, NPR presenters, attorneys.

We were all sitting there one day, watching our children. The girls were doing girl things and the boys were rocketing off the furniture and doing boy things.

One of the parents said: you know, they really are different.

The floodgates opened as all the parents talked about supplying the kids with toys for both the sexes and how the preference appeared to be innate and early apparent.

It was a red pill moment.

They should stop screwing with biology and fighting it. They’re never going to win.
