Non-judgmental parenting is âNazi-likeâ now., say the headbangers.
âNot pushing a genderâ on a child would be the correct way to describe it.
Whereas you prefer the âpushing genderâ approach.
Which is your choice.
Imposing gender neutrality on a kid is ânon judgementalâ.
Thatâs the way itâs gone now, i suppose.
Calling someone with a penis a man / boy is being judgemental⌠The screeching left at its finest.

Did you read the Paul Murphy article?
He specifically says he doesnât want to impose anything on the child.
Thatâs the point.
Itâs you who wants to impose things on the child.
How come the Chipp roasters could manage this while @Bandageâs crowd only worked themselves into a lather online?

Your job as a parent isnât to be an impartial observer. Heâs not in the UN ffs.
He is wrong, he is imposing gender neutrality on the child. Which is his right.
So by him not imposing your ideology on the child, that is imposition?
And imposing your ideology would not be imposition?
Eh, whatever.
I think its unfair of Paul to use his baby as a pawn in his political career.

So youâre saying that if a child is gay, the parents should impose the ideology that they shouldnât be gay? Yes?
By that rationale Vicky Phelan used her children as pawns because she did the same article.
Interesting. I missed that. Fire up the link and Iâll assess.
Raising a child assuming their gender is aligned with their sex is the norm yes. Given that 99.7% will grow up to realise this reality, I would say itâs the prudent approach.
I am fully aware that a queer, non binary, polyamorous individual disagrees with me, but Iâm OK with that.
It used to be the norm that children should be smacked, or to assume they should grow up straight and if they didnât grow up straight they should be either told in no uncertain terms they were straight or be disowned.
Youâll find the links to all 29 other such articles contained at the bottom of the Paul Murphy article, presuming youâve actually looked at the article, of course.
Fallacy of false equivalence.
No one has said anything of the sort. Youâre making things up now and going to extremes.
Being a parent means actively taking part in your childs life and both imparting and sometimes imposing ideas and structures on them.
Your job is to prepare them for adulthood not to non parent. This includes a multitude of things but it doesnât include not doing anything.
Gender neutral upbringing is a middle class ideology. Calling a child born with a penis a boy is not an ideology, itâs very basic science. Itâs also not being judgemental. Itâs a fact.

Are you not identifying as @Tierneevin1979 any more?
Also it isnât false equivalence. And certainly not merely because you say so.
Raising your child as the gender that matches their sex is child abuse apparently.
