Why not “it” instead of plural pronouns? One of you grammar nerds, help me out.

I think, like we all did, that kids will naturally choose their gender regardless of how parents try and push them towards one gender or another.

I guess we'll find out in 20 years, this is all very new and disturbing.

Yep.

Only difference is parents then didn't let others know what was going on.

I refuse to show any respect for parents who treat a two-year-old as gender indeterminate. They do not deserve respect, compassion, the benefit of the doubt, or anything close to that.

They are the ones with the odd mindset, not me.

I don't know if society is/does agree with you. It's not the direction they're heading.

Society? Don’t treat the fringe as the majority.

It's not fringe anymore. Or at maybe the majority isn't able to voice their opinion. Frank couldn't go into a 2 year old preschool and say what he is saying. It's not what the schools are teaching, he'd be labeled as bigoted and phobic.

This issue is way overblown by the Fox News crowd.

I now don't believe you believe what you're saying. Makes sense.

I'm making fun of the concern about a parent choosing a gender neutral name. Choose a boys name. They still may end up different with the same likelihood as any other name.

Excellent point. I'm guilty of it myself too. People are entitled to their beliefs as long as they aren't harming anyone else or denying them rights.

So it's going to end with children crashing into the street with their fathers, kicking and gouging in the mud/blood/beer?

They isn't solely a plural pronoun.

'Call a customer service representative and see if they can help.'

It replaces he or she when you don't know a gender. Always has.

At least a transgender child won't bring back polio because of dumb parents.
