Baby to be bought up 'genderless'

[AndyHB]

I think that this could be more difficult than the parents think - http://uk.lifestyle.yahoo.com/family-parenting/meet-the-parents-who-are-raising-a-genderless-baby-blog-90-yahoo-lifestyles.html - after all, what is 'between the legs' has to do with rather more than sex!!  That said, I wonder how many of us deliberately bring up a child as one or other gender?  At the same time, there will necessarily be situations where the child has no choice in what happens to 'it'.  What will happen about its going to the toilet once at school; or using changing room at school or the swimming pool - or whether buying 'feminine hygiene products' as it grows older?

A good friend of my sister's had a series of girls, and then a boy. She reckoned she would not buy any male gender-specific toys as there were plenty of other ones around which were not gender-specific as well as the dolls - until she saw the wee lad rolling a can of beans across the floor and going brmmmm brmmm!
