http://www.dallasvoice.com/storm-genderless-baby-1079009.htmlAfter receiving media attention and outrage the couple has declined further interviews. The response they've gotten from the public and the media has been mixed. Some are convinced that they're setting their child up for bullying and a lack of self-identity. Without the direction from his/her parents on how he/she should act and dress, how can Storm grow up like a normal child?
From a transgentleman's point of view, I am completely and totally supportive. A lot of transfolk have expressed that their gender identity was such a struggle to find because of social pressures placed on them for being a boy or girl. If they hadn't had those gender stereotypes placed on them, maybe they would have been able to discover their true identity earlier. If we weren't judged and reprimanded for expressing masculinity or femininity regardless of our sex, then maybe our gender identity wouldn't be so hard to find.
