‘Kids will come up with all sorts of nonsense at that age. If, when you get to be an adult and want to change your name, then you become your own adult, your own responsibility, you take your own decisions”.
Piers Morgan was left ‘speechless’ after he was branded ‘childist’ in an interview.
The Good Morning Britain presenter invited Ari Dennis on this morning’s instalment show, to discuss why they had decided to raise their children as gender neutral. Ari, who identifies as non-binary, told Piers and Susanna Reid why they ‘assigned a binary profile to oldest child’, eight-year-old Hazel, who then ‘articulated a preference for using they/then pronouns’ when they grew up.They went on to explain they allowed Hazel to choose their own name, but ‘don’t like to share’ what the original moniker was.‘They were using their birth name until around three-and-a-half,’ Ari said.
‘Kids will come up with all sorts of nonsense at that age. You say you offer structure, what could be more of a structure than actually saying to your child, “This is your name, and that’s your name? If, when you get to be an adult and want to change your name, then you become your own adult, your own responsibility, you take your own decisions”.‘Part of being a parent is, until a child reaches adult age, actually the parent takes these decisions.
