I discussed this with Stearns the other day.
How do people feel about naming their children with really gendered names when, as members of this community, we know that some went through their lives loathing the names they were assigned at birth?

Julie,
I am not avoiding answering the question. I had started writing a response but I wasn't satisfied with it, so I am sitting on it for awhile.
As far as the poll, I voted *agree*--will elaborate later.

Thanks to all who voted or responded. I find it very interesting to mull over the various implications of their decision.
