Some village is missing its idiot:
June 29, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, a Swedish couple said they are refusing to disclose whether their two-and-a-half-year-old child, called “Pop” in the media, is a boy or a girl. They said that their decision, made at the time of the child’s birth, was based on the feminist theory that “gender” is a “cruel” “social construct” that forces children into artificial roles.
“We want Pop to grow up more freely and avoid being forced into a specific gender mould from the outset,” Pop’s mother said. “It’s cruel to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead.” The parents say they never use personal pronouns, referring to him or her only as Pop.
“I believe that the self-confidence and personality that Pop has shaped will remain for a lifetime,” said the mother.
While we’re here debating cruel social constructs, I’d like to ask one question: Why does Pop have both a mother and a father?

Another example of people whose minds are so open their brains have fallen out.

There’s a fiction story about a child named X, being raised without anyone knowing the child’s gender. I remember the story being in one of my school books when I was in junior high (in Alberta, about 15 years ago) and I remember other teenagers getting excited about the idea, like they’d like to try doing that if they had kids.

Aren’t North American feminists already doing this by removing gender differences from our vocabularity?
