Opinions on this situation: Parents keeping their baby's sex a secret

I agree that it doesn't matter what the baby is and he/she should be allowed to develop into whatever kind of person he/she wants to be.
But I can't help but feel like this is almost a step backwards in a way. What if it is a boy and decides he likes dolls? Wouldn't it be like his parents saying "that's okay because no one knows which you are" instead of "being a boy and liking dolls is fine, we don't have a problem with it, and if other people do,they're wrong."

Also, I don't like the idea of using their kid as this highly publicized social experiment. What you do in your own home is your business, whether I agree with it or not.
But they're putting your baby on this platform and shouting "look at us! look at this! look what we're doing!" I thought these parents were doing this to protect their baby from outside pressures, but here they are putting them in society's spotlight.

And lastly, gender is a big part of identity. Not the *only* part, and it's always in flux, but it is part of you. I just hope the baby isn't... I dunno, deprived of that somehow. Not so much now, but what about when he/she is two? Five? Ten?

I actually heard about this a few days ago, and I have to say I agree with the parents. Why does it matter what gender the baby is? Why not let the child -- as it grows and develops -- decide for itself what it's gender and gender identity is? Why should the parents say what the gender is and allow people to treat it a certain way just because it's a boy or a girl?

I think the fact that so many people are so angry about the fact they don't know the gender of a baby they've never even met just enforces the parents' idea of "we don't want are baby judged by their gender."

That seems pointless to me :S But what worries me more is the fact that the brother looks like a girl. What's up with the braids?

I see it as exceptionally odd. :/
The intentions I recognize are positive, yet I'm wary of it. I guess I'm mutual towards this, as long as Storm is able to decide to hide his/her gender identity for him/herself as she grows older. :)

As a psychology student who knows a thing or two about child development, I completely agree with the psychiatrist in the video.
