Raising a Theyby: Parenting Trend or the Future of Parenting?

Is raising a Theyby just another parenting trend or the future of parenting? When did you identify your gender or was your gender just assumed? The understanding that gender is flexible and social designed is becoming more and more mainstream. Many young people are pushing against the ideas of gender norms and expression and therefore blurring the lines of traditional gender ideas. Can this idea of raising a theyby be beneficial for our children's health growing up or does it cause confusion?
