Spoiler alert: their child is a boy and chose to identify as male.

Also, gag:

she explained: 'Zoomer understands that some girls have penises and some boys have vulvas, and some intersex kids have vulvas and testes. Zoomer knows some daddies get pregnant and some nonbinary parents are called Zazas.

I guess providing children with a stable sense of material reality is overrated. It must be draining to grow up in that family. I cannot wait for the Zoomers of the world to release their memoirs in a couple of decades.

I'm actually surprised that this kid is identifying as a boy instead of non-binary or some other 'genderqueer' label.

Teaching children not to be able to name and recognize biological sex is also a serious safeguarding problem.

Serious question for people: would you let your (real or imaginary) kid associate with a family like this. I feel like I wouldn't send my kid over to the home of this type of family.

Absolutely not. I'd be worried what the kid or the parents would be telling my kid. I'd also be worried I might have to talk to his parents, and upon finding out that they raised him this way after calling him "zoomer" - yeah, no. They're quite likely exhausting, obnoxious, head-in-their ass ultra woke. I'd feel bad for the kid, but no matter how nice he is nothing would be worth dealing with the parents.
