Well like you I don’t sit up worrying about it but can you foresee a scenario where someone makes that an issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Cyclone   10 #1661 Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) So, no, it didn't. There is no question over which parent is the mother, there was no awkwardness as you described.

And this, this is specifically the opposite of what is in the article you linked.  Quote When the Sharpes arrived at the hospital for the delivery, they asked the staff not to announce the twins’ sex. Even after the newborns were put in their arms, their anatomy remained a mystery for several hours. So, it didn't happen did it. Something else happened, and it wasn't particularly difficult or confusing for anyone to deal with.

Cyclone   10 #1663 Posted April 22, 2019 It's a typical thing that people who are opposed to gender freedom or whatever we call this that they dream up these nonsense scenarios where it's somehow a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think it could be a problem but I’m hoping to be reassured.  do you not see any potential issues with parents predetermining gender on their children’s behalf?

Cyclone   10 #1665 Posted April 23, 2019 That might be an entirely different problem, one that already exists, but it's nothing to do with gender fluidity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Its the use of language that is increasingly being made artificially problematic; there is a perception that institutions can't call a woman a "mother" any more, or even a woman a woman.

No there isn't. This is the kind of spurious argument that people raise when they can't actually find any good reason to object but want to object anyway.
