 as well as the

follow up piece

Please think about the following questions and respond to  them

•  Are the parents keeping Storm’s gender secret? Or Storm’s sex? What’s the difference between the two?

•  Identify three psychological phenomena that concern the parents in raising their children in a traditional suburban neighborhood in North America. How do the parents hope to overcome those concerns by allowing their children to dress, play with, and act in ways that cross gender boundaries?

•  What concerns have others expressed (or that you have) about the impact of the parents’ efforts on the cognitive, social, or physical development of the three children being raised in this “genderless” experiment?

•  Many people have had very strong reactions to the decision Storm’s parents made. Why do you think that is?
