QuoteMurphy 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!
When you think you're fucked you're only about 40% fucked.

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.

Aye.
As mad as Enoch Burke is, theres equally as crazy f**kers on the opposite side of the spectrum

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?

Because people are animals & they round on anyone who deviates from the normal.
The father in this case is a far left idiot or libtard. By inflicting his beliefs on his young fella, he is isolating him from the crowd, which will invariably/ unfortunately lead to bullying.

There's so much in this but I do admire your honesty in why bullying would be an issue and it's not so much the kid themselves, it's the societal "norms" that we live in which we are almost accepting of the herd mentality and can't override our base instincts!

Personally speaking I think the father is a bit of an attention seeker, but that's nothing to do with his child and they shouldn't suffer accordingly.

Because teenagers and kids are conservative by nature. The chances are the kid is straight. They would be more likely to accept a gay kid than a straight kid called Juniper.
