Parents hit back at 'genderless baby' critics

The world needs to accept the right of a child to choose their sex, according to the Canadian parents raising a "genderless child".

A barrage of abuse has been levied against Kathy Witterick and David Stocker who have taken the decision to keep the sex of their four-month-old baby Storm hidden, claiming the baby should not have to conform to social stereotypes, the Daily Mail.

Ms Wittrick said she was fed up with people asking when the pair will come out to tell the world their child's sex.

In an email, she has hit back at critics, stating that the idea "the whole world must know what is between the baby's legs is unhealthy, unsafe and voyeuristic. We know — and we're keeping it clean, safe, healthy and private (not secret!)."

She previously told the Toronto Star: "When will this end? When will we live in a world where people can make choices to be whoever they are?"
