Not teaching one gender that they should do this or that but that everyone can do what they feel like doing. And we teach every child of any gender the same things. Just an idea, maybe. 😂

[@changingworld2]

What I noticed when I watched a special on a Swedish family raising "Theybies" is an "unconscious bias" to purposefully steer the child towards opposite sex identification. The child, they acknowledged, was biologically a boy. But, the caretaking partner would take the child shopping and light up around dresses and tell the child how pretty the dress was and ask if he wanted it. You could see that his desire to please his parent factored into his willingness to express an interest in the dress. I believe the unconscious bias of these non-binary parents is to steer their children to like and be interested in toys, clothes, and activities generally associated with the opposite sex. Since these parents do know their children's sex, they, perhaps unknowingly, get excited and show preferences for opposite sex activities in an effort to reinforce their belief that gender is fluid. This social experiment is, therefore, already doomed to failure from the moment someone has to change a baby's diaper but wants to push a gender bending agenda.

So, Sparrow is a baby boy living in a family of three women who decided to become gender neutral or what ever they decided to be, but they should not confuse a small child who can't understand about gender or sex yet. The child can decide about his own gender when he is ready, or when it naturally comes to him to choose by himself. So far, for all what I am concerned his anatomy and chromosomes says that he is a boy or a male if you prefer. They, in fact, have chosen the gender for the baby already by determining that the baby is 'they' - that should be an 'it' since 'they' is plural, by the way.

My daughter is 5. She has friends that are boys and girls. When she plays with her boy friends and they bring out a tractor or planes or trucks she plays with them. When she plays with her girlfriends and they have barbies and my little ponies she plays with them. She plays legos and building blocks with all her friends. Her boy friend loves to bake with his mom, my daughter goes to Judo in a class that is mostly boys. It's OK to enjoy all kinds of toys and activities... Where do people like this woman get the idea that we have to consider them gender less in order for them to enjoy all kinds of toys, clothes and colors? A boy can love ballet, a girl can love soccer, it doesn't mean we need to question their gender!

22:49 "People in the cisgender regular society, I think they spend a lot of energy thinking about gender and genetalia and presentation versus our family that kinda doesn't." I really feel like the parents actually made everything about gender too... does not mean they are gender fluid, non-binary, anti-gender or whatever are all still assigned genders according to their definition. Until now, I am still not convinced. I bet they are also not convinced since she constantly slipped up the fact that Sparrow's gender is a boy. You can also hear that she hesitated a little bit and immediately emphasise the pronoun 'They/Them' when referencing the children... It's psychologically obvious that she is having a hard time too and glorifying it -.-

The only reason her oldest daughter was exploring pronouns at 3 1/2, was because of her but job of a mom talking about it incessantly and literally forcing her into it. Childhood is about playing with GI Joes but also wearing a dress if you want to. That doesn’t mean you have to have psychological conversations with your 2 1/2 year old about what she wants to identify as. You’re absolutely abusing those children.

[@RacheyBoBachey]

To anyone who thinks this does no harm...there is clearly a difference between male and female healthcare needs due to different parts. So your denial of their gender can only go so far. If you have a boy claiming to be a girl he doesn't need a gynecologist, he needs a urologist and prostate exam. And when he impregnates someone accidentally because he doesn't realize how his parts work, then what...? Or vis versa if you have a girl thinking she's a boy or neither she ends up with untreated breast or cervical cancer because she isn't getting female treatments. I don't think these parents are thinking ahead.

[@gottaluvlinda]

Exactly!!! My thoughts too!

[@sledge6693]

There was a conversation I heard were they stated that it's harmful to their daughter to ever call her beautiful (Because it based all her worth on looks apparently).

[@KatiaKossiak]

We all have masculine and feminine traits therefore I cannot imagine how confusing it must be for this baby to have to "choose" as he/she grows up.

After watching this, I thought to myself... 'This could easily be viewed as a medical assessment interview, where the interviewer is actually an undercover psychiatrist trying to get inside the head of a delusional inmate from a mental institution... and _playing along with her_ to measure the precise level of insanity!' And after the 30-minute assessment, the result turns out to be an emphatic; "Clearly, this person is not ready to be released yet!" What I find terrifying, is that this behaviour is now accepted and considered OK, and even 'normal.' It's NOT OK and it's definitely NOT normal... it has to STOP, and fast... before the minds of an entire generation are completely destroyed!

[@DrWillJamesReports]

Arlene Wheeler If gender is a spectrum where male is on one side & female is on the other, than that would mean they are extremes. Yet, they aren’t extremes, they are the societal norms & you are using using those norms male / female (two genders / sides of the “spectrum”) as the basis for your “gender identity”. But then you claim there are a verity of genders that don’t identity as either. If you don’t see the endless contradictions in this social pseudo-science, you’re either willfully stupid or dishonest. This person is actively pushing this on her kids which will only confuse them as they grow up and create social and mental problems for them. And, Sparrow is a boy. We all heard you say it. Stop the social experiments on your kids and love them for who and what they are; this includes their birth sex/gender. There is biological sex & gender stereotypes. That’s it.

[@sportspicker6352]

I watched another video about these folks on good morning Britain and they mentioned that one of their children decided that they were non-binary at 4ish. They said that they had grown up around the LGBTQ+ community and that made them more open to their option. That’s all fine and do as you do, doesn’t bother me, but if the kids parents were totally immersed in the LGBTQ+ community which would mean their children were too, then I don’t think, as far as I know, that they were very aware of the heterosexual community which would mean I don’t think they were given a true and fair chance to make a complete decision on their own. If you want your child to completely make their own choice on this topic, shouldn’t you let your child be around and fully aware of ALL aspects of the gender debate?

[@entrthedragon]

Taylor Lyon She’s making people in her own life to use theyby as a pronoun. Won’t let her own mom change diapers unless she addresses the child as a theyby. She’s essentially holding the baby hostage unless you conform to her abnormal ways.

[@patchworkthinker]

@@entrthedragon Nobody is making anybody say "theyby" lol. Ari simply wants their child's gender neutral status to be accepted until the child can vocalize what gender they are. Asking for they/them pronouns isn't that much. If the mother wasn't able to do that, making sure she didn't see the genitals so she could get into the habit of addressing the kid correctly makes sense to me.

[@entrthedragon]

Taylor Lyon Yes, you’re quite right, making your mother use they and them. It’s not right. If my mom chose to call my baby “they”, I’d find it odd but I wouldn’t restrict them from changing or interacting with the baby. That’s just ridiculous. As to trans people, two thirds of people who feel they are another gender actually revert to their birth gender, so don’t be hasty. If being trans is going to make you happy and comfortable as an adult, that’s your choice, I’ve got nothing against it.

[@zxyatiywariii8]

I wonder if it could be (even just a little bit) confirmation bias. . ? Ari's non-binary themself, so there could be an intrinsic (maybe subconscious) hope for a non-binary baby? 🤷🏾‍♀️ I've seen darker-skin parents of lighter-skin kids and during the summer, the kids spend more time outside and get tan. But the parents never come right out and say, "Oh now you're dark like me!" No, they say things like, "You look so pretty in that dress!" Same dress the kid wore last spring, when she'd gone all winter with no sun, and the parents didn't say that then. But suddenly she's the same color as her parents, and now they're all like "Let's get a picture together while you're all dressed up so pretty!" Yeah I notice this stuff, because I'm a foster kid. I mean I hope it's not projection in Sparrow's family. But most parents do crave seeing something of themselves in their children, even my own parents did -- even though it wouldn't make sense for us to share immutable traits. But still there's this *_feeling_* which they (and I) feel, when some stranger says, "You have your mom's smile!"
