Abstract

Current debates on gender question the situation of gender neutral children whose parents offer the opportunity to choose their gender through their clothes. With the support of this phenomenon, there is a recognition of what pre-exists for the subject even before his birth: namely parental discourse and social code. This brings out what is symbolic in contemporary society. Similarly, we might think of this orm of modern strain, which leads parents to offer their children the choice, if there is one, to wear men's or women's clothes. So that as long as their bond with the child is not anonymous, these parents would eradicate the identification compass.
