Oh, FFS

Since when was what sex you are physically a 'choice' except in the rarest of cases when the child is androgynous and a medical choice has to be made?

I'm all for live and let live when it comes to lifestyle choices, but I think these 'two mommies' need their heads testing.
At face value, this story is akin to the one I heard about the vegan who only fed her cat vegetables because it fit better with her ideology.

For the record I'd have the same opinion of a heterosexual couple who sought to assert some gender assignment contrary to the child's physical makeup.

Granted there may be a deeper mental aspect to the child's development, but again, I'd have to ask (no matter how incorrect it sounds) would a child raised by two gay women have a more profound confusion as to it's gender/sex than a child raised by a man and a woman? I don't know the answer to this and by no means is it to say that same sex couples cannot raise well adjusted kids, but messing with gender unless there's a specific physical need to do so, is a sure fire way to damage a kid.
I know one thing; the child is going to have a deeply confused and unhappy life having such confusion over his gender, never mind the stigma he will undoubtedly experience in his peer group come his early teens.
Maybe my view is a bit old fashioned and not a progressive as some, but there are some things you just don't meddle with.

In this world we do not have 'rights' we have privileges - there's a subtle difference.
