Genderfluid Parents Want to Raise Their Son as Gender Neutral | This Morning

Louise Draven was born a man but is having hormone treatment to transition to a woman, while Nikki is pansexual and dresses as both a man and a woman. Both want to raise their son as gender neutral so he thinks of himself as a person, rather than a boy. But their decision has sparked controversy and raises questions over whether they are projecting their own beliefs onto their son.

THEY'RE SO OPEN-MINDED THEIR BRAINs FELL OUT

[Alices.last.warning]

This is child abuse. That poor child should be taken as farvaway as possible from these idiots.

I wonder in 2, 000 years if archeologist will dig up gender neutral bones. Lmfao

[jeromielee]

Im glad my parents werent quite that insane.

[Podheroes]

Logical person- "There are two genders and you cannot choose your woke person- "I can identify as whatever I want to person- "How old are woke person- "I'm person- "Why aren't you woke person- "Because I'm not person- "Exactly".

I'd worry less about the bullying than the risk of too frequent, stilted conversations in which he must explain himself. Who we are is very much a result of our interactions with our peers, and one needs to feel unselfconscious to form lasting friendships. These parents risk raising a very anxious and lonely child.

OMG, this is not okay. come on people - really

[CarlCutts]

Denying being a, boy or girl. That's so evil

[cakeorpurse]

Why do they always look like that though?

[jhutch]

If it's not broken, it doesn't need to be fixed. Going with what is most likely, until there is a reason to do otherwise, seems reasonable and wise. To do otherwise seems complicated, and causes confusion. All parent's impose views on their children, but he is so young to have to carry all this on his shoulders. Teaching him to be open minded and kind seems enough.

[UVA]

Why can't they just leave the kids alone. It's brain washing and training at such a young age. If they show interest in something new when a little older then support it.. but let kids be kids, understand the bases of we know as 2 genders, reproduction etc., I see this as a form of grooming a child into what they believe..

[CrimsonWulph]

Make laws against creeps like this breeding!!

[denditwittard]

When you roll 20 but your intelligence is -20 modifier

[katkatCSI]

People can do whatever they want anyway. Do they realky think that if they introduce them to this ideas they will add something? NO. They are just meaaing up childrens ' brains!!

[samuraininjarockstar]

What a shame, poor child having hideous things like these as his parents …

[adammiller]

Having gender is not a constraint tho. They have proven that. They were born in a ‘gender’ and decided at some point it wasn’t right for them so changed when they were developed enough to make those choices…

[hello_bye]

Can we start having people obtain a license to be allowed to have children and one of the disqualifications is cannot have plug earrings or mouth and nose piercings?

[Veroyu]

*The whole thing about gender can Never ever be removed anyhow, like you can Only alter your appearance bcz gender is a permanent thing and you will LITERALLY only be one or the other, seriously! Nobody who will ever be able to go from female to male or from male to female!*
