Gender issues

[dalekboy]

We've been out and about a couple of times in the last two days, which has knocked the stuffing out of both of us. Many people have commented on our baby, and when they hear he's a boy, they all talk about what a good-looking or handsome child he is.

I'm thinking of introducing him to strangers as a girl now and again, just to see what they say.

Once I'm bored with that, I may start saying he's a hermaphrodite.

What happens if you refuse to disclose the gender?

I'd imagine people get uneasy. A lot of people find it very difficult to cope when they don't have nice categories to put people in.

I like this option :)

Thankyou - some people deserve to be uneasy ;-)
