Just reading how Elon Musk and his wife are going to gender neutral parent there new baby, which has a crazy name, by the way. What the fuck is this new parenting thing. First off, yes some children/adults are not mentally the same gender that their body is. There are always some anomalies in genetics that are not the normal. So why would you not just parent normally, but be open with your child and ask them how they feel and then change your parenting and maybe get counseling on parenting and have your child talk to someone, outside of you, to see how they feel. Maybe they truly feel this way or maybe it is just a one off issue. But parenting this way, to me, will make the kid feel different anyway. Humans have been around for a very long time and the way things have been are working. Not sure why someone would change something when maybe there is nothing to change.
When my wife worries about stuff, especially our kids going to junior high, I tell her; ” What’s the point in worry about something that hasn’t happened. If it never happens then you worried for no reason.”
