Child 'X'

So the other day I was Stumble!^tming around the web a couple of days ago when I found this:

X: A Fabulous Child's Story
By Lois Gould ^© 1972

Written in 1972 this is an amazing short story!! By following the life cycle of a gender ambiguous human child Mr. Gould shows us very clearly how much better life would be without - what I like to call - gender casting. Many of the specific items that are addressed in the story are not as much of an issue a quarter century later, but the story as a whole holds just as much weight now as it did then.
