This is child abuse. 

I understand why people argue that aborting mentally disabled fetuses is inhumane, even though I don't agree with it, but giving a child a mental disability after he or she is born is plain child abuse.

I'm not talking about letting your daughter play video games about war, or letting your son play with dolls. I'm talking about not telling your kid what gender they are. These kids are told that they get to decide their gender when they grow up. This is actual brainwashing.

It's like telling your daughter that rape is not really that bad and society just exaggerates the suffering it causes.

Yes, it may promote mental confusion for the child in some cases due to them not knowing their gender.

Males are males.
Females are females.
Gender is instinctive, not taught.

The only way children could be made unaware of gender differences, is if the were kept locked in a windowless room, alone and uneducated.

I certainly don't think it should be referred to as child abuse. It is not something I recommend anyone does, but calling it child abuse is too far

@CuriousGeorge Yes that was just an exaggeration. However the brainwashing part wasn't.

It is child abuse which was more of a mental area.

All humans are stupid and insane. They cut your penis, they force you to believe corrupted books, they believe to everyone despite everybody lying to them. Look i am sure humans cant make computers because humans are stupid. Is this universe fake or what?

@Fredsnephew , good argument. Gender is defined at a persons birth, not by them at all.
