Someone was eventually going to try it. I think it could be interesting what can be learnt from it, despite the fact that this child’s life will probably be fucked up. It might just put the argument of gender as social construct to rest.

Plus these guys are obviously morons, so at least they won’t be polluting the gene pool for too much longer.[/quote]

I don’t know what’s more fucked up: performing experiments on your own kids in the name of science or performing experiments on your own kids in the name of some total insane opinions on the world.

That’s one way to avoid the sex talk when they’re older.

I’m trying to get past the whole “storm will decide what storm is” thing…um, the kid can’t decide to be a boy or a girl, biology already did that! It’s not like the kid can go “um, I have a penis, but I choose to be a girl!” It just doesn’t work that way.

Biologically, the kid is either male or female, obviously. But by concealing the gender, everyone else will have to treat storm as a human instead of a boy or girl. This will definitely affect the way he/she is treated which may allow for more freedom to behave however he/she wants to, instead of being lumped into the guidelines society has given boys and girls. With that said, I strongly disagree with running this experiment on your kids. Storm is only going to be picked on by other kids. Unfortunately, there really isn’t any great way to break down the socially constructed gender categories that kids are placed into, so I, like everyone else, will probably wrap my baby girl in pink and my baby boy in blue, despite the fact that there is nothing masculine or feminine about those colors.

I think the worst part may be that they named their kid Storm

^ Agreed

Storm is a girl, duh.

I’m just confused as to how two weird white people made a super hot black chick.

This. The only semi-rational explanation.

Didn’t read all the comments.

Whats wrong with the so-called “socially constructed gender catagories”? It’s natural for a male to be masculine and a female to be feminine.

Well, they’re not incorrect in stating that “gender is a social construction” as that is indeed the case.

Sex is biological. Gender is constructed. And frankly, it doesn’t really matter what gender you assign your child as their psycho-social development and their interaction with society will inevitably dictate their gender preference and sexual-orientation. Besides, despite the child’s unconventional upbringing, I’m sure s/he will just grow-up despising its parents - which is quite normal!

Just another case of silly over-educated white people trying to be controversial.

Yep. SMH @ silly pseudo-intellectual white people.[/quote]

Racist.[/quote]

Meh. There might be a few individuals that are like that of other races, but lets face it-- most of these wackos are white. Nothing but an observation. Nothing against white folk, I love white wimmenz.[/quote]

yes, its an observation that I, as a white woman, have also made and show great disdain for. So sue me.

Anyways, rich White folk, which are a cohort that are typically correlated with being highly educated, have nothing to “fight” for, nothing to complain about, no injustices to overcome of their own - so they just concoct stupid shit to be outraged about (unless they’re bitching about not getting bigger tax breaks or something equally nefarious).

If only they’d channel their energies to helping out their fellow man, rather than trying to be “progressive” for the sake of their egos. [/quote]
Yeah. They were just born rich and all. And their parents never fought for anything either. Bastards.

You sound very young and hardly even look white.

I love being white.

Gender is absolutely biological and determined at conception, denying one’s gender or dressing like the opposite does not change this.
