Can't really see it catching on, to be honest.

'How has the form of your child been culturally interpreted?'

"One need not [ask]".

True, but other than sex, name and weight there isn't really much to ask about tiny babies...

Sounds more like an essay title for a BA in Wokeness Studies than a question you'd ask a new parent...

Is that meant to be instead of asking "what's the sex of your baby?" or "is it a boy or girl?"

In this case it looks as if the achingly woke Cultural Studies lecturer who tweeted this has no children. The relentlessly biological nature of pregnancy and birth might be a bit of a shock for her if she ever does have a baby.

“They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.”

Philip Larkin, High Windows
