The caller from Stornaway sounded like a mumsnetter. She was the only sane voice on that piece. Why we are giving a platform to these genderfree idiots is beyond me.
A relative of mine has just had her 20 week scan & guess what she is having a boy, an actual boy, not a non binary, genderfree, human who we all have to call “they”.
Thank fuck that none of them are my DIL.

Seems like a bit of a psychological experiment to me.

To be fair, this was on our local BBC News last night and the mother corrected the use of the word Gender several times, saying they were talking about the baby's sex and that gender was something completely different. JV must have said gender about 50 times.

They don't want people who interact with the baby to do that "pretty girl/ big strong boy" stuff that has been well documented in the past, and say that if nobody knows whether Anush is a boy or a girl they won't have that automatic bias to treat them differently.

Was it Jazz Jennings whose mum decided that baby must have genderfeels because baby kept unsnapping baby's onesie? I'd have just thought "maybe baby is too hot or the onesie is too small".

If it's a baby surely all it cares about is that it's warm, well fed, and gets the occasional reassuring cuddle. Babies literally don't have the mental capacity to be thinking about their "gender".

movecloser I’ve been asking that very same question for a couple of years and still not got an answer.

How can you be trans and non-binary?!

I was wondering if she was an MNer.

So frustrating that they think the cure for gender bias is just to change your gender!

Thank God that woman came on to dispute "gender assigned at birth". It does my nut in!!! She was very clear and sensible.

Me, not very balanced so far.
