I'm pretty certain Pop know's what's between his/her legs. So not much of a problem there.
The problem is if Pop's a male and his parents try to make him wear dresses at school. Then begins his days as a social outcast.

This should be child abuse, poor kid.

And you just know its a boy, they wouldnt be making such a deal about it if it was a girl.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Yeah probably. For some reason gender equality always seems to mean neutering men, not butching up women.

It's all part of the diabolical plan to make the male gender weak and submissive so that women can take over without breaking a nail.

BTW, they make him/her wear both dresses and shorts and a tee-shirt, well, I think let him/her, not make.

They can anyway. Remember which gender has the chocha?

But if you give them no gender they will be seen more as a human or not a stereotype as a boy or girl."
...so not having a gender makes you "more" human? The hell do you reach that conclusion? I suppose not having a race would make you more human too, right? Oh and don't forget to toss out religion, culture, and social status, wouldn't want any of those influencing the kids upbringing and making them less human.

What other things can we take away from this kid so s/he can't be identified as part of a group? Shave it's head so we can't call it a blonde/redhead/brunette? Make it wear a burlap sack, that way you can't lump it into any weight/build category, and you'll avoid the kid being seen as part of some clothing related group, like the preppy kids or the goths. Oooo, we better not let it speak, wouldn't want it's accent to stick a label on it now would we?

Hell, at this point, we might as well just stick the kid in a box and hide it under the bed. Though that could risk us associating him/her with the bubble boys, that wouldn't do. Better just off the thing now...oh wait, but then it'd be part of the ever growing group of dead people, the largest group in th world by the way.

Or you know, the parents could stop being jackasses and let the kid have a normal childhood. He/she's already going to get enough shit for being named after a sound/soft drink.
