My mind is at work, this time thinking "is the world going crazy"?
I read an article on yahoo yesterday about a couple in Canada who recently had a baby but have decided not to disclose the gender of the child. Why, you may ask... well beacuse they want the child to choose what he/ she wants to be. If you're like me you are probably wondering if this makes sense, like some have said just check what's between the legs and you'll know the child's gender. well this couple seem to think differently. According to the mother, she says "We've decided not to share Storm's sex for now--a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place? ...)". Progressive or more like destructive! She adds "In fact, i'm not telling the gender of my precious baby, I am saying to the world, 'Please can you just let Storm discover for him/herself what s (he) wants to be"?
At this point am thinking this must be utter madness. But it is for real. She attributes her decision to a book she came across, a book from 1978, titled X: A Fabulous Child's Story by Lois Gould. In this book child X is raised as neither a boy or girl, and grows up to be a happy and well-adjusted child (I don't know what well adjusted means to them, but you can find out for yourself get to read the book online).
Everything in life is a choice..... well almost everything; your career, spouse, location, school, religion, and even the decision to be gay or straight. God even gave us the choice of Life or Death (Deut 30:19). However my question is when did Gender become a choice? After reading the book I was more confused than ever, so what exactly is X, a boy?, a girl? or just an X? What does it mean to be an X?
The bible says God created us Male and Female (Gen 1:27), I sure didnt see God creating an X or Y. From the beginning of time there is a method of knowing which gender a child falls into. However with the many crazy things going on around our world today, this just adds to it. You can be any gender you wanna be, its your choice?????????????
The baby has been named storm, well i guess to his parents that is not a name for any gender. Storms mother says she's not giving up the crusade against the tyranny of assigned gender roles. "Everyone keeps asking us, 'When will this end?'" she said. "And we always turn the question back. Yeah, when will this end? When will we live in a world where people can make choices to be whoever they are?"
I was recently reading about Cher's daughter (or now son) who decided to be a boy turned girl, and looking at the before and after pictures all I could think was God have Mercy. With parents like Kathy Witterick and David Stocker of Toronto, Canada who are saying from birth you are not a boy or girl, you are whatever you wanna be, I think the world just got crazier.
