Exactly. To some extent, all parents do that.
This is what i meant. Of course parents will pass on their beliefs to their kids but this particular belief has potential to seriously confuse an innocent kid. His/her school life could be absolute hell. Strikes me the parents are more interested in being different than raising their kids.....which is sad.
Also baffles me how they expect the child to form his/her own gender identity. He/She's a baby, most kids under 10 wouldn't even know what the words gender identity mean.
or perhaps they'll go out into the big bad world and unsure of where they fit in this world because they don't understand 'gender stereotypes' they are bullied, unhappy and socially maladjusted.
It seems a damn big risk to play with a child that the first thing happens and not the second...

What the hell?
Doesn't everyone technically do that? I mean, many are brought up believing that God doesn't exist or whatever.
Thought it would be interesting to post the above thing I found, kinda relates quite a lot to this thread :d
