Toronto couple to raise their baby 'without gender' and allow their baby to choose it's own sex in future; what do you think?

A Toronto couple have revealed that they are raising their third child as ‘genderless’ in order to allow the baby to decide on its own gender.

Kathy Witterick and David Stocker, who already have two sons aged five and two, say four-month-old Storm should be allowed to decide his/her gender when he/she grows up.

Only the couple, their sons, a family friend and two midwives present at Storm’s birth know whether the baby is a boy or a girl, the Toronto Star reports.

Their sons, Jazz, five, and Kio, two, are encouraged to make their own decisions. The boys, who like to have long hair and wear dresses, are often mistaken for girls.

They are “unschooled” – a movement of homeschooling which allows children to plan their own days without tests or homework.

Mrs Witterick, currently a full-time mother, told the newspaper: “When the baby comes out, even the people who love you the most and know you so intimately, the first question they ask is, ‘Is it a girl or a boy?’”

Mr Stocker, a teacher, said: “If you really want to get to know someone, you don’t ask what’s between their legs.”
