    That clue at the end suggests what was really going on there. Some degree of crazy. Not really getting the point trans SJWs are making.

    Insisting on gender neutral pronouns for pre-language kids is dumb, and only the rarest of crazies would ever do it or insist others do it. It’s child abuse plain and simple. I have no doubt the original idea came from an anti-woke Internet troll which blew up in the media.

    We’re as woke as you can get. We dressed our boy with whatever hand-me-downs, sometimes “girls’ colors”. He had lots of hair for a baby. Most people assumed he was a girl. We only corrected friends who of course we would see again. Never a tense moment, lol.

    If he shows any signs of being a girl on the inside, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. The answer is not to resist if they insist despite all reasonable attempts to keep the status quo. That’s when you start considering whether to seek a professional child psychologist and go from there.

    Sorry for the Ted talk, but we’re all out of kilter on this subject around the world now.

      She wasn’t insisting on gender neutral pronouns.

      Sje was angry people didn’t know her son was a son. Which they didn’t know because they were never told before (directly or indirectly). She intentionally chose to obscure gender for some reason and then got pissed people got confused.

      I should have used “they” because babies aren’t “it”s, I could care less about disrespecting the mother, but the kid didn’t deserve that.

        No worries. Yeah, definitely crazy and abusive. Setting other people up to be rude, only so you can scold them is weird Machiavellian behavior.
