Parents kept their child's sex secret for five years to raise him “gender neutral’ - mirror.co.uk
"A couple who have spent five years keeping their child’s sex a secret have finally revealed it’s a boy.
Beck Laxton, 46, and partner Kieran Cooper, 44, decided to hide it from all but their closest relatives and raise him as “gender neutral”.
The couple say they wanted to ensure Sasha was not affected by the pressure of gender stereotypes.
And they only revealed he is a boy because they had to when he started primary school. He now attends lessons wearing a girl’s shirt and boy’s trousers."
Right or wrong? Does it matter what gender a small child is, or should we be treating them all the same?
