Raising Children As Gender Neutral

Paloma Faith says she is determined to raise her child, and any subsequent children she may give birth to, gender neutral, but how does that work? At some time the child is bound to discover that there are boys and there are girls – and that they are not the same - so when a child asks the question “What am I?”, what does the enlightened parent answer? Does she lie and say ‘You’re neither’, and if so is that, in effect, denying the child its true identity?

I’m inclined to think that in their determination to allow their children to ‘be who they are’, progressive parents are in danger of raising a generation of very confused people.

The article about Zoomer was interesting. I wonder how it turns out for them.

Although Zoomer looks like a girl I think somewhere in the article it said ‘he’ but that might have been referring to the father.

It is the outcomes that we don’t hear too much about. In a similar way back A decade or two there was a lot of publicity for the concept that children chose what and how they learnt at school with little structure and ‘free thinking’. I wonder how that turned out as well.
