Parents keep child's gender secret →
“So it’s a boy, right?” a neighbour calls out as Kathy Witterick walks by, her four month old baby, Storm, strapped to her chest in a carrier.
Each week the woman asks the same question about the baby with the squishy cheeks and feathery blond hair.
Witterick smiles, opens her arms wide, comments on the sunny spring day, and keeps walking.
She’s used to it. The neighbours know Witterick and her husband, David Stocker, are raising a genderless baby. But they don’t pretend to understand it.
This is incrediable. Wonderful. Fabulous.

A mother of a small boy who likes to wear dresses wrote a book just for him and little boys like him.
It is about acceptance, love and breaking the traditional stereotypes. I read it to my own little princess boy and his brothers and hope that little by little we can change the world where these sort of books don’t have to be written to help with acceptance, a world where there is no hate. Especially the hate directed to little boys who wear pink and the families that love them.
This is the world in which I could have safely been a boy as a child. I do wonder if some of us femme ftm type folk were actually better off with being treated female, given the enforced machismo that surrounds being male.
not that i particuarly enjoyed the enforced girlishness either, but i can’t deny i had more freedom to be a pretty neutral child [wasn’t actually a tomboy, exactly. my sister was a lot more a tomboy than me. suck on that, stereotypes.].](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqroctT9Mf1qaxrdko1_500.png)
