Swedish parents keep 2-year-old's gender secret

Meet Pop, a two-and-a-half-year-old Swedish child whose parents are refusing to say whether the apple of their eye is a boy or a girl.

Pop's parents, both 24, made a decision when their baby was born to keep Pop's sex a secret. Aside from a select few – those who have changed the child's diaper – nobody knows Pop's gender; if anyone enquires, Pop's parents simply say they don't disclose this information.

In an interview with newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in March, the parents were quoted saying their decision was rooted in the feminist philosophy that gender is a social construction.
