By now, I assume most people have heard of this.

It is a very bizarre issue and I cannot understand the media coverage it is getting, but what struck me the most from the letter written by the mother (included above) is in the final paragraph:

Storm has a sex which those close to him/her know and acknowledge. We don’t know yet about colour preferences or dress inclinations, but the idea that the whole world must know our baby’s sex strikes me as unhealthy and voyeuristic. This is what I know “” someday soon, Storm will have something to say about it and in the meantime, I’m just listening carefully. (Emphasis Added by me)

Now, maybe I’m just crazy, but I assume the global media cannot possibly hear about you not disclosing the gender of your child unless YOU made a big deal about not disclosing the gender of your child. I mean…reporters don’t just go trolling around maternity wards looking for a story. Odds are pretty solid that the mother made a huge fuss about this and was telling people left, right, and centre and is now wondering how it all got so out of control.

Anyway, I’d be curious to know what other people think in the comments. Surely I cannot be the only one shaking my head at these hippie parents…Jazz, Kio, and Storm? Say what?
