Snake and Apple By Selwyn Duke

“We've decided not to share Storm's sex for now — a tribute to freedom and choice in place of limitation, a stand up to what the world could become in Storm's lifetime (a more progressive place? …).” So wrote parents David Stocker and Kathy Witterick after the birth of their third child, who they really did name “Storm.”

This isn’t the first story about parents who don’t want their children to be influenced by others’ sex-role expectations. In 2009, a Swedish couple, citing the feminist philosophy stating that “gender is a social construction,” refused to reveal the sex of their 2 ½-year-old child “Pop” (I have it on good authority, from Snap and Crackle, that it’s a boy).

Witterick says her inspiration came from “X: A Fabulous Child's Story,” a fictional account of a character who hides his biological sex from others. Well, we can only be thankful that she didn’t read a story about Carthaginian infant sacrifice.

    “As for Witterick’s two older babes, sons Jazz and Kio, they’re treading a rainbow road. They both just happened to choose for themselves (quite coincidentally, I’m sure) an appearance that causes others to take them for girls.”
    I just can’t help thinking that parents focus their children’s attention this way making it seem as if androgyny is the more moral and spiritual choice. Children will make themselves into whatever it is their parents tell them makes them superior human beings. Too bad there aren’t any child psychologists motivated to study these families and record just how many times mom and/ dad discuss sexuality with their children vs the kind of communication a more traditional family engages in say with emphasis on turn taking and empathy vs genital gazing.
    Also, does this mean we “form and function” types are obsolete? I’ve considered what would happen if we simply gave opposite gender names along with stereotypes to biological females vs. males. Maybe the world would keep on turning if we cut to the chase and called men “women” and women “men” and socialized them accordingly. This might still allow for heterosexual coupling and procreation while getting past the PC censors.

    We are long time fans.Where in Whitterick’s (unicode-8) is a more specific social engineering of the death of Judeo-Christian (white man’s inherant capitalistic enslavement), social order called God’s Commandments. Selwyn, in the “melting pot”, journalism is in “intensive care”, in hospital USA. You’re the doctor that keeps us plugged into the respirator/life support. The next orchestrated event in this specific social engineering in the war to kill God, is the beast of Revelation 13 who was given a mouth to speak with for forty and two months (doesn’t sound like 2 terms to me!! hmmm)…to blashpheme God. That “mouth” (not the party the symbolic jackass represents)should of killed the political system (beast) but the wound continues…(not “healed”).
    2Peter-King James Version…”we fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers not of this world.” (this dimension-2nd earth age- flesh bodies). There was a Rabbi who commanded discipline followers to understand the words of the prophet Daniel to see this mouth that the beast was given (of the abomination of desolation), and the system (social engineering) he brings with him. Selwyn always a studier of your articles…Love you…Hit them hard, hit them often…damit just keep hitting them.. Love the “TRUTH”.
