I would because I care less about my kids birth gender and more about their happiness with their identity.

Nope. What is between their legs, is what they are. Until they are old enough to even comprehend the question.

@GnarlyStarwin Chromosomes

Those have nothing to do with gender...

@Crazymotherfuker Those have nothing to do with gender...

Again not being sarcastic

Gender is societal expectations of an individual, historically centered around the two most common sexes.

Whatv do they have to do with his discussion? Do you have an extra one?

I mean I got to choose, why wouldnt they?

@Crazymotherfuker I mean I got to choose, why wouldnt they?

When did you get to choose and how?
Did you choose based on personal preference or what?
