It was one thing for her to refuse to tell friends and family members her baby's gender, and to give Sasha only gender-neutral toys or clothes. Great. But she went far beyond that, trying to make him cover up his gender by the time he was old enough to be aware of it -- which would send the message to him that there was something wrong with being a boy. He's just a little kid -- not a philosopher or a scientist!
And she didn't have to go to the newspapers with this when "the infant" (what an awful thing to call a child) was a baby. I'm afraid this has all been about her, from the very beginning.
Yes, it will be very interesting if this boy decides to go public again as an adult.
