As for Pop, they say they will only reveal the child's sex when Pop thinks it's time.
Two year olds are obsessed with categories and labels - if the above claim is really true, the experiment will be over in a matter of months.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I was thinking the same thing.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think I like the idea of trying to raise a child without gender.

I can see deciding to raise a kid without gender if the parents also are gender-non-conforming, and they find either other kids being raised without gender or intersex kids or trans kids or other kids outside the gender binary for their kid to play with, and also make sure that there are plenty of adults who don't conform to the gender binary in the kid's life. If they don't do that, then it just seems really unfair to make a decision that will make your kid significantly different from all the other kids they see and not give them any community or role models for that difference. It sucks when a kid is "different" in some way and for whatever reason can't have friends or adults who are different in a similar way, but it just seems unfair to purposely make your kid that different without providing all that support.

Y'know, he's not too bright, is he? He all but had a Get Out of Jail Free card with the press today and he had to go and say that?

IOmeN, could someone please come, take me out back and put me out of my misery? I feel terrible.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm with you, Barb. I have a summer cold and am feeling rotten. Yay vacation?
