Child, 4, chooses own gender

So sad!!! This dr and her husband named their child Zoomer and let him decided whether he wanted to be a boy or girl...although they already know what their child is with the comment ”We don’t disclose Zoomer’s genitals to people who don’t need to know.”

Author who refused to assign a gender to her baby and did 'regular pronoun checks' until her child DECIDED to be a 'he' at the age of four reveals she's been accused of 'abuse' by critics
She explained: 'We didn't assign a binary girl-or-boy gender to our child, Zoomer, at birth; we don't disclose Zoomer's genitals to people who don't need to know.

Was the child born a hermaphrodite? I did not read the article...

The article didn’t mention that...but did say..

She explained: 'We didn't assign a binary girl-or-boy gender to our child, Zoomer, at birth; we don't disclose Zoomer's genitals to people who don't need to know.

They know what sex their child is..but they refused to say to anyone, even their own child wanting that child to figure out what he was. And apparently at 4 years old he was able to make a decision.

Yes, I saw that "need to know basis." Which is kind of part of why I wondered if the child was born with both. In such a case it would seem prudent to allow the individual to choose. I suppose the real issue in that case would be, how prescient is the four year old?

Again, the article didn’t state it was an issue being an hermaphrodite but rather an issue that they were raising their child to decide for himself his sex while also knowing what his genitals said about what sex he was. I’m calling him a he since that’s what the article stated he was...though I’m not sure if he is a boy or a girl at this point, since the parents want to keep the truth a secret.
