A Child Is Not A Social Experiment

 A Canadian family has sparked furious debate about a "social experiment" that they are doing in order to force society to comply with their wish that gender not be a consideration.  Their four month old baby, Storm, is at the center of the controversy.  Storm is, in all likelihood, a boy.  No one, except immediate family members know, though, because they aren't telling.  It strikes me that they quite possibly wanted a girl and are not satisfied, so they are improvising. They intend to raise Storm as neither male or female.  If that's not a recipe for creating gender identity, then nothing is.  God created us as male and female, in every species.  Why, then, does this couple feel that there is something shameful about being a boy or a girl?  And why should Storm bear the weight of their bad decisions?  They want to use this child to try to educate the world.  Actually, I think they need educating.  Which bathroom is a child supposed to go to when they begin school or go to the park?  Perhaps they will home school in order to maintain the secret.  I think that doing this to a child and making the child the butt of jokes and the subject of endless gossip and intrigue is doing a grave disservice to the child.  What will the results of this experiment be?  Public ridicule, endless teasing, a lack of a sense of self-worth and belonging, and perhaps even a gender identity crisis. Do we need another Columbine to give us the results of this horrible social experiment?  I think not.  These parents need a reality check.  Let the child be a child, whatever gender.
