Their biological sex is what it is. Just as the fact that we are biologically of the species homo sapiens. Therefore they should be defined as such as long as they are young and haven't got a fully developed brain. When they are older, they can decide for themselves what they are in a social context (gender, species, basically anything) but until they have reached a grown age, it should be defined biologically.

Also, gender roles are cultural not natural.

Only thing more generic is the script for Super woman

To be fair, most kids nowadays are brats with no sense of respect for others.

lol

really? you don't think that for example men being seen as protectors of women has anything to do with men being bigger and stronger on average due to male physiology?

gender roles all stem from the physiological differences we have... sure different societies put slightly different spins on gender roles but the root cause is always biology

These days letting someone decide what they want to do with their life is fine and all, but if I had kids, I'd prefer if they stuck with the gender they were born with...

Spurge pls.

Kid should decide that.

Since the child is going to owe me his or her life and growth, I'll choose her gender based on his or her sex; don't want too many complications.

Does that mean nature is now sexist?

There's a reason why females are usually caregivers while males are the alphas.
