A Gender less Child

The responsibility of raising a child holds a great amount responsibility. A parent makes pivotal decisions in molding a child’s future and makes pivotal decisions.

Raising a child in a genderless environment in my opinion hinders the development of a child. Parents play a pivotal part in the socialization process of their kids; most parents make the first decision to help their child fit into their gender role.  I think children cannot fully make that decision on their own because they do not completely understand the gender roles.  I further think it is difficult to create a gender environment without any bias. I am sure the child will be influenced by the gender roles displayed by their parents. The concept in whole is confusing and difficult. The parents say they want to raise their child genderless because it is “A tribute of freedom in a place of limitation.” In a way I believe they are limiting their child in a whole different way.

I do not believe that individuals have to fit into their gender roles and fully believe that people can make their own decision on what gender they want to identify with. For a child I think it is a bit overwhelming, it is hard to figure out who you are at 3; I barely know the full extinct of myself at 19. Letting your child aimlessly wonder without an idea of a gender is a disadvantage and can obstruct the way a child grows up.  A child needs to know the basic roles of gender so they can readily identify.
