A Florida mother who calls her one-year-old baby 'Theyby' in order to raise the infant as gender neutral today accused Piers Morgan of 'childism' for questioning her decision.
Ari Dennis, 30, and her partner said the family was inspired to raise Sparrow without a known gender after their older child, Hazel, decided to identify as non-binary aged four after being raised as a girl.
She told Good Morning Britain: 'We do not know what Sparrow’s gender is yet and, as regards to her anatomy, we choose to keep that secret except for a small list of caregivers.'
Ari Dennis (pictured) and her partner decided to raise 11-month-old Sparrow as 'theyby' and use they pronouns 'they' and 'them' when referring to the child
In the interview Dennis, who lives with two people who both identify as transgender, one of whom she is married to, said she would not reveal the gender of her baby and even the birth-certificate says 'sex-unknown’.
‘I’m in a multi-adult family, there’s three of us with an eight-year-old and a one-year-old. All the adults in our household identify as transgender – I’m legally married to one and in a relationship with another,' she said.
‘All children at this age are unable to understand gender. The child doesn’t have any gender yet.’
Dennis said her mother did not know Sparrow's assigned sex during the first three months of the child's life even though she was living with the family.
Her older child Hazel tells people she has 'a baby sibling' when people ask about Sparrow.
When asked by Piers Morgan about Sparrow's anatomy, Dennis replied: 'That’s something we do not discuss unless it is with a medical professional.
‘Commonly, people born with one type of anatomy will identify as one gender and others with another.
‘But that totally negates the fact that there are thousands of people around the world for whom that’s not the case.'

Piers Morgan argued that young children 'didn't have a clue' about gender identity and accused Dennis of forcing Sparrow into a choice about gender.
‘I personally don’t agree with that assertion, but I can see how that can be misconstrued.
‘I think every family environment is unique… Hazel has a unique education through living in an LGBT family and she’s been safe to explore her own gender.’
A Facebook group called 'Parenting Theybies' is creating a community for parents raising their children outside of gender binary norms
When asked if she would let a two-year-old make a verdict on their gender, Dennis said: ‘I would accept that they’re exploring.
‘If a two-year-old child doesn’t have any ability to conceptualise gender isn’t it toxic that we’re telling them that they’re a boy or a girl solely because of their anatomy.’
A Facebook group called 'Parenting Theybies: using they/them/their pronouns for kids from the start' is creating a community for parents who are raising their children outside of gender binary norms.
The group has been around since 2015 and currently has about 350 members.
Parents in the U.S. are increasingly raising children outside traditional gender norms-allowing boys and girls to play with the same toys and wear the same clothes.
Experts say that reproductive organs reveal a baby’s assigned sex at birth. Gender, however, comes later, around age 4, when children begin to identify as masculine, feminine or somewhere along that spectrum.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
