Covering Societal views on gender have shifted and turning for generations now. The biggest icons even make impacts of gender identity and gender roles in the United States. The likes of Jaden smith, Young Thug, and Lady GaGa all appear on the media to showcase their taste in clothing and style. Some of these are gender bending and have influenced many people across the nation. Is this really a valid example for the future of our nation exposing them to gender bending media that influences parents into choosing the gender for their babies. This is an act of covering in which a person hides a disfavored trait to fit into the mainstream. The Author Kenji Yoshino expresses his concern of covering and how it’s a breach to our civil rights.

Leading in to Jayme Poisson’s article about how genderless babies are becoming more relevant and how certain parents raise children with no gender. This leaves it to the baby to decide what they want to do about their gender. This raises the question, should covering be something good for society at all? Or is it just another way to suppress the true nature of generational evolution? By covering the gender of an infant and allowing them to choose what gender they would like to belong to, a person would be raising them with ignorance. There is no escaping how the world runs daily. With gender roles intact people are obliged to be conscious of how they raise their children, even if we are covering their gender from them to give them freedom, parents would be condemning them to a life of ridicule. Kenji Yoshino makes a very valid point in his article about covering “covering is a hidden assault on our civil rights.’ (Yoshino, pg 553). The civil rights Americans have protect the nations from the absence of Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness. It gives people freedom to do as they please whether it be over religion, sex or gender. Covering is a huge issue and shouldn’t be taken lightly but why do parents have the control to make decisions about gender for their babies? In what way do the parents see this as a good thing when we are set up as a functional society ? This brings me to Storm, a genderless unborn child, with parents who want to raise their child in a way that breaks the walls of gender and the roles it places in society. “Giving their children the freedom to choose who they want to become, unconstrained by social norms about men and women.” (Poisson pg, 1)., As caretakers, parents should not have to make our babies confused about who they want to be. Parents should be leaders and gate keepers of their infants. They have the responsibility to make sure they teach their kids what they need in order to live a happy life. If they push their kids to make the choice of gender swapping, at an infant age, they will only lead their children into confusion and ridicule because the world is not run the way their parents made them to believe. Even If the world is assimilating itself in order to accept people of different values such as gays and atheists, we must follow our primal urges and go with the freedom to be male or female not both. Without females to make babies we have no babies and without males to give sperm there are no babies. The furthest thing from right is to raise your child with malicious intents such as ridiculing others for the way their skin is or if …show more content…
People should abolish covering because of the fact that it takes away the walls made by society and doesn’t take people with different values seriously. This concept allows people to interact well with each other but that shouldn’t be the case, this should minimize the amount of slander and hate we see going on with woman who enjoy dressing as men, or little toddlers who love playing with dolls despite the sex they were born into the problem with covering should not be made to have the babies lead their lives and the parents should not teach their kids to be as they
