"It began as a offhand remark..."

... "hey, what if we just didn’t tell?" --

And then Stocker found a book in his school library called X: A Fabulous Child’s Story by Lois Gould. The book, published in 1978, is about raising not a boy or a girl, but X.

There’s a happy ending here. Little X — who loved to play football and weave baskets — faces the taunting head on, proving that X is the most well-adjusted child ever examined by “an impartial team of Xperts.”

“It became so compelling it was almost like, How could we not?” says Witterick.

COMMENT OF THE WEEK:
"This is sad because these kids have no chance. They will always be screwed up. It isn't normal to be 'genderless'."

"Also, why do all their kids have stripper names?"
