Meet the 'theybies'. Not baby boys, not baby girls. SUNDAY on #60Mins, the new parenting trend letting young children choose their own gender. pic.twitter.com/wPLc4w4ql8

I feel so sorry for these children.

Babies are born male or female, with XY and XX chromosomes.

There are baby boys and baby girls. Why ignore that scientific truth?

Parents refusing to embrace the reality of their children's bodies don't help their children.

There is a difference between acknowledging a baby's gender and forcing the child into a stereotypical male or female mold as the baby boy or baby girl grows.

These parents seem selfish. They are experimenting on their children. They're encouraging their children to be confused about their identity.

No matter how these babies eventually decide to live their lives as they grow, they will always be the genetic boys and girls they were born. That simply cannot be changed.

I think children should be free to choose their path in life, but some things aren't a choice.

We don't choose our mothers and fathers. We don't choose our genetic makeup.
