Gender attitudes and how they affect children's sense of self

Our weekly panel discussion features three parents weighing in on the issue of keeping a child's gender private. It's a choice that's been much debated since a Canadian couple went public with their decision not to tell anyone whether their infant, named Storm, is a boy or a girl. Vahe Tokmajyan, a Calgary-based sculptor originally from Armenia, Nadia Zouaoui, a freelance journalist and film-maker from Montreal, originally from Algeria, and Rufo Valencia, a reporter with RCI's Latin American section, originally from Bolivia, join Marc Montgomery to share their thoughts.
