Update: Zoomer makes a pronoun decision, the next step in the family's 'gender creative parenting' journey
Back in November, I interviewed Utah sociologist Kyl Myers, who had recently published her book, “Raising Them” — which described her efforts to employ “gender creative parenting” on her child, Zoomer, so that the child was raised without ascribing a gender identity.
At the time, Myers told me that shortly after she finished writing the book, but before it was published, Zoomer had declared a decision regarding pronouns — but that Myers hadn’t decided how or when to make Zoomer’s decision public.
In May, over Instagram, Myers announced that Zoomer, now 5, identifies as a boy, with he/him pronouns.
This is the kind of gender reveal that makes sense: The person whose gender is being revealed makes the decision, and there are no explosives involved.
