Stranger Than Fiction

A couple in Canada is keeping their baby's sex a secret as "a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place? ...).”  Canadians.  It figures.  When I read the headline, I was sure they were going to be Swedish for some reason.

Storm is their third child; he/she/it has 2 brothers -- Kio and Jazz.

We get a little background on their parents:

Both come from liberal families.  [Gee, ya think?]  Stocker grew up listening to Free to Be ... You and Me, a 1972 record with a central message of gender neutrality. Witterick remembers her brother mucking around with gender as a teen in the ’80s, wearing lipstick and carrying handbags like David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

Then I got to the below paragraph and decided it was my favorite part of the article:

Witterick practices unschooling, an offshoot of home-schooling centred on the belief that learning should be driven by a child’s curiosity. 

 I think I have now heard it all.
