Confusing the Child's Gender?

[Wintermoot]

...until he starts growing a beard
seriously this is pretty stupid I,m not against breaking societal gender roles but this is going a bit to far.
PS
the reason why I think this is because he would most likely grow up confused about his gender.

why dont you just you know, have the childs gener but let them be into what ever they are into

Deluded pricks, to say the least. Forcing a child to adopt a role they aren't biologically inclined towards is only going to damage them further.

Bit like abstinence.

Your explanation doesn't hold water. Although biology factors into characteristics of the sexes they play a rather minimal role. Yeah having testosterone might make men more competitive but that's one factor that falls into a soup of other social and mental factors that make up a personality and can easily wash away or exaggerate any biological characteristic. On top of that quiet a few "biological" things are actually just deeply engrained social pressures. It's hard to say where the base factor of biology begins and ends in some places. On top of that, the fact that humans are intelligent beasts and can suppress their base instincts, take note that people wear pants due to suppressing a base instinct, saying that one gender has a tendency for one thing or another doesn't doesn't matter much because social pressure and other factors can influence people to suppress those tendencies. sex is biological, you have a penis or a vagina and this means a a slightly altered body shape and chemistry. Gender is what society tells you to be like based on these sexes. For all of recorded history a gender divide has existed and thus some basic human factor keeps this up. It's hard for anyone, especially one crusading set of parents, to undo that.

Thank you, my good sir, for saying everything that I wanted to say and then some, better then I could of.

Stupid, left wing douche bags. Some restrictions and roles are good. You raise a kid without delivering an understanding of gender to them, and they'll be absolutely miserable during most of their life when they start to be picked on.

Humans don't like different and we never will. Whilst some of us have the ability to adapt and become acclimatised to difference, the large majority of people will always raise their eye brows or even go as far to harm someone who is different. There is nothing wrong with raising your son to be a boy.

I'm sick to tears of these pretentious, pseudo-intellectual morons who go on about how "labels suck, man!" and "gender is meaningless, man! It's all about who you want to be maaaan". Go smoke some marijuana and get out of the way. Nothing has ever been changed from your rhetoric and nothing ever will be changed.
