god help the child

Probably until the second day of primary school
The contrast with having a gay child is interesting. No such parent would go to the newspapers.

He must be, poor Juniper.

Murphy says if Juniper decides at the age of three that they are a boy "then we'll say he and we'll just say, 'oh yeah cool, you're a boy, excellent. And you're free to change your opinion and you're free to change your gender identity in the future if you want. We'll respect that and we'll change the pronouns that we use. If you say you're a boy, then great you're a boy. Or if you say you're a girl, then great you're a girl.' But we don't want to make that choice for Juniper. That's for Juniper to discover their own gender identity as opposed to us to assume based on their sex."

This is parenting in 2023

It's hilarious how calling the baby (or should I say "it") Juniper is the least WTF part!

Be pretty ironic if he hits the gin later in life because of it.

The chances of any child rejecting its sex are pretty low. It seems to be an extreme stance for a low risk outcome but with a high probability of later bullying.

Not really. My mam refused to buy me a toy gun on those grounds and was a long way from a SJW.

Why might that be the case?
