A video posted by the New Yorker which is going viral on X shows a mother asking people to refer to her 15 month old baby as a ‘they/them’.
Yes, really.
The baby is wearing a frilly pink, yellow and blue dress as the mother walks it through the pride parade.
This mom at a pride parade says her 15-month-old baby uses they/them pronouns. How can a 15-month-old baby decide to be nonbinary?? pic.twitter.com/eK0TNgKQFT

“How old is she?” asks another person.
“They are 15 months old,” the mother responds, adding, “We actually use them/them pronouns until they tell us who they are.”
The mother then explains how, “We are pulling apart this idea of sex which is related to genitals and gender which is related to how you move in the world, so what you wear, how you share your identity with other people, all of those things are related to gender.
Respondents on X accused the mother of using her baby as a prop for her own demented political ideology.
That's not a baby to them, that's a prop.
