Genderless

Today I read an article about a couple, who in an attempt to apparently allow their child a life completely of there his/her own design, have decided to keep the childs gender unannounced until said child chooses to share it.

"I believe that it puts restrictions on this particular baby so that in this culture this baby will be a singular person who is not being given an opportunity to find their true gender self, based on also what’s inside them."

I am all for a person being judged based on actions and merit can can completely understand allowing the child to decide whom they are but attempting to keep the child completely unknowing of any sort of traditional gender role also keeps them ignorant of the general world.
