Theybies

“The personal is political!” feminist radicals started screeching back in the 1960s. With the passing decades, this slogan has been applied ever more fanatically, finally reaching the point where even objective biological reality is overruled in the interests of left-wing social engineering. For example, among the wokest of moonbats the sex of a child is no longer determined by primary sexual characteristics or even by chromosomes; the child decides for himself or herself — or theirself, as it would be more correct to say of theybies, for whom gender-specific pronouns are not used:

Parents in the U.S. are increasingly raising children outside traditional gender norms — allowing boys and girls to play with the same toys and wear the same clothes — though experts say this is happening mostly in progressive, well-to-do enclaves. But what makes this “gender-open” style of parenting stand out, and even controversial in some circles, is that the parents do not reveal the sex of their children to anyone. Even the children, who are aware of their own body parts and how they may differ from others, are not taught to associate those body parts with being a boy or girl. If no one knows a child’s sex, these parents theorize, the child can’t be pigeonholed into gender stereotypes.

As usual when moonbats apply their deranged ideology to parenting, it is the kids who pay the price.

“Once your child meets the outer world, which may be day care, or preschool, or grandparents — it’s pretty much impossible to maintain a gender-free state,” Lise Eliot, professor of neuroscience at the Chicago Medical School and author of “Pink Brain, Blue Brain,” said in an email. “And depending on how conventional your community is, you could be setting your child up for bullying or exclusion.”

Not to mention a lifetime’s worth of psychiatric issues. But at least establishing the children as abnormal from their earliest memories should guarantee their permanent role as outliers, which should shape them into reliable warriors in the cultural Marxist campaign against the normies. At the very least, few people who grow up viewing themselves as freaks will vote Republican.

Even the highly supportive NBC News piece admits that “transgender children … have higher rates of depression and suicide attempts.” It is likely that raising kids in psychologically disorienting “theyby” mode could result (and may even be intended to result) in the development of gender dysphoria issues of the sort that lead to severe psychiatric dysfunction.

However, the piece concludes with a theyby parent of indeterminate gender asserting that even though its offspring Hazel and Sparrow may not be accepted by peers, “raising them within rigid gender norms would be worse.”

These “rigid gender norms” are a universal feature of human civilization and always have been.
