Trying to bring up a child so that it doesn't know its own gender
is an experiment that I suggest only for such as those who are 
currently professing no love for their children.  There is at least as
much chance that sexual differences are genetically endowed as other.
The only way to find out would be to run a series of controlled
scientific experiments of the type that was so popular in Nazi Germany.
To run the risk of severly damaging your children to prove a political
point strikes me as monsterous.

If enough of this kind of thing goes on, there will no doubt soon be 
a rash of law suits brought by offspring against their parents, claiming
damages for the way they were raised.
