Imagine getting a birth announcement without the sex of the baby would you be surprised and call to find out the sex of the child?
Kathy Witterick and David Stocker of Toronto Canada have decided to keep the sex of their newborn baby Storm to themselves. No one knows if their new child Storm is a boy or a girl, not even the grandparents.
They feel that to know someone you should spend time with them. That means not labeling them with a sex. They also say that kids receive messages from society that encourages them to treat each other differently once labeled by sex.
After reading a book “X: A Fabulous Child’s Story” by Lois Gould. They knew they had to conceal the baby’s sexual identity. The book talks about how X was raised as neither boy or girl and the wonderful outcome.
This isn’t the only odd choice the parents have made. They also allow their five and two year old to wear what they wish. Although they are boys they enjoy having their hair long in pink ribbons and dressing as girls.
Learn Something Fun: A typical newborn urinates 20 to 30 times each day. Luckily, you don't have to change the baby's diaper quite that often: in most cases, every couple of hours will do.

@nno, it's too bad that hui's parenting and kids' choices make you that uncomfortable. the world could do with fewer suppressive parents like him/her. you'll probably never meet this kid when he grows up and will probably never effect you whatever he 'turns out to be' so perhaps you should do something more innovative with your insecurities.
