Secret Gender=CRAZY LESBIANS!

So is he gonna have a sex change if he wants to be a girl?

While I completely agree that homosexual couples should be allowed to have families just like heterosexual couples, the idea that a lesbian couple actually made an effort to conceal the gender of their son is ludicrous!
First and foremost, little girls and little boys are likely still developing physically and mentally up until they begin puberty. This poor little boy is now so confused and every day is dress-up for him. Him, whose name is Sasha. SASHA IS A GIRL'S NAME!!!

"...Sasha dresses in clothes he likes -- be it a hand-me-downs from his sister or his brother. The big no-no's are hyper-masculine outfits like skull-print shirts and cargo pants. In one photo, sent to friends and family, Sasha's dressed in a shiny pink girl's swimsuit. "Children like sparkly things," says Beck. "And if someone thought Sasha was a girl because he was wearing a pink swimming costume, then what effect would that have? "


Um, seriously? This boy can't wear pants but he can wear a little girl's swimsuit? Let's call a pig a pig. Just let this poor little kid be a BOY and try again for a GIRL! Then they can have the daughter they CLEARLY always wanted and stop torturing this little boy by forcing him to live a life that tells him that at home he can be a boy or girl,  but at school he has to be a boy. 

Don't be hatin!

"Sasha's also not short on dolls, though Barbie is also off limits. "She's banned because she's horrible," Laxton says in the Cambridge interview. "


WHAT?? This little boy can play with DOLLS but not Barbie? Yeah. That's right. Cabbage patch kids, beanie babies, and Polly Pocket is gonna lead him towards a life of virtue. But Barbie will absolutely push him over the edge into "potential serial killer". 


On a macro level she hopes her son sets an example for other parents and makes them reconsider buying their own sons trucks or forcing their daughters into tights. She's seen how those consumer trappings affect how and who kids play with in the sandbox. 


The only example her son is gonna set is "Don't play with this kid. His mom will put you in a dress and hand you a doll."


But the sandbox is just a precursor to the classroom. When Sasha turned five and headed to school, Laxton was forced to make her son's sex public. That meant Sasha would have to get used to being a boy in the eyes of his peers. Still, his mom is intervening. While the school requires different uniforms for boys and girls, Sasha wears a girl's blouse with his pants. 


Oh please. You are making a conscious decision to put this kid in GIRL'S clothing item. You. The adult who can make an informed decision. Do you just not like your son? 


"But as parents well know, bullying is hard for any child to avoid. It's more important to raise someone who's confident enough in himself to overcome peer pressure. It's also important to have his parents have his back (remember the mom who defended her son's choice in a Halloween costume?) Maybe Sasha's early years will be character building, maybe he'll have a higher emotional quotient being raised with dual perspectives on gender. Or the reverse could be true: Sasha may have less of a formed identity because of his upbringing, and feel angry at his mom for dressing him in flowery shirts and telling the world about it. Then again, maybe he'll get over it. 


As for Laxton, she says she's open to her son pursing any career or sexual preference he chooses as he matures. "As long as he has good relationships and good friends," she says, "then nothing else matters, does it?" 

This boy's Moms are thiiiis close to an ass kicking.

The likelihood of this little boy's emotional upbringing turning into a positive experience is slim. While he may be more accepting of others and the backgrounds they come from, today's world is not as accepting or forgiving. And he will resent the teasing and alienation that is sure to occur if his crazy Moms keep sending him to school in mixed gender outfits. What the hell makes him so special that he doesn't have to follow the rules just like every other little boy and girl in his school? I personally grew up wearing uniforms and liked the knowledge that I didn't have to worry that I'd look not-as-cool as the next girl in my class. We all looked the same. But just because this little boy has two Moms who don't want to acknowledge a gender for him, he gets to wear girl's blouses? What the hell? So with this logic, he should get to drive at 12, drink at 16, kill whoever he wants, and join the military and wear a ladies uniform and be called "ma'm".


And saying that she'll support whatever career or sexual preference he chooses is a little bit early. This kid isn't even 6 yet!!!! He's a little boy. He probably wants to eat pizza, and ride bikes with his friends, and be mean to little girls because they have cooties. Not because he should because that's what little boys have to want because they are boys...but because THAT'S JUST WHAT'S FUCKING NORMAL! So how can she expect him to make a decision- ANY decision in his life if he honest to goodness doesn't even know if he's a boy or girl? Without this simple definition of self and knowledge of identity, it's going to be absolutely impossible to move forward and mature into a productive member of ANY society. Instead, he'll be more prone to don a trench coat and shoot up  public establishment. Thanks, Moms. Thanks!
