There's also a Canadian couple with a kid named Storm and a Swedish couple with a kid they refer to as 'Pop' who have pulled this same shit. All three of the couples are heterosexual.

Supposedly hetero. I think some gender identification issues are what drives this sort of thing.

When I read the first article, it didn't mention that the other person was a man and even listed the other parent as her 'partner'. I wonder if the story purposely left that part out?

Yeah, she's a crazy feminist. She refers to him as her 'partner,' and they gave the kid her last name.

A self-confessed ‘radical feminist’, Beck never intended to have children, until a romance with a father-of-three changed her mind. The relationship didn’t last, but the biological pull did and, aged 39, she began to explore artificial insemination. Then she met Kieran: “I don’t believe in love at first sight, but it pretty much was. Ka-pow! He moved in less than three months later.”
Kieran already had two young children, and was happy to have another. A year later, Beck became pregnant, but finding out the sex at the ultrasound scan was a definite no-no.
“I think that’s awful. I’d ban it! It’s like opening your presents before Christmas, and I worry that people start making all these presumptions about what the child’s going to be like, which is just stupid.”
An idea began to form in Beck’s head. What if no-one knew the sex of her baby, even when it was born? The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea, and duly drew up a list of gender-neutral names.
Sasha’s birth – at home, drug-free – was quick, and the midwives were asked not to announce the baby’s sex; instead, they simply wrapped him in a towel: “and we actually didn’t look for about half an hour.”
Wasn’t she curious?
“I was a bit, but I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t making any assumptions myself. So we just sat there, a bit zonked, just gazing at Sash, and at each other.”
They broke the news to family and close friends by email, simply stating they’d had a baby called Sasha, “and there were a couple of people who assumed it was a boy, because that’s the default: something’s male unless you say it isn’t,” says Beck.
“I thought that was very interesting.”
The couple did tell family and friends if pressed, but strangers were kept firmly out of the loop. A keen blogger, Beck refused to reveal his sex online either, simply referring to him as ‘the infant’.

The world would be a better place if she had stuck to her original plan of never having children.

Sounds more like she wanted a girl so bad, that she hid the fact that it was a boy until he was 5. The whole story about not knowing what it was herself for a while is probably complete BS. I mean think about it, she is a radical femenist, the baby has her last name, she obviously has problems with most men, the kid is allowed to wear girls clothes but not ultra male things like skulls, and she doesn't let anyone know that the kid is a boy until she has to. She pretty much decided a little daughter would be great to tote around at her "I hate men" meatings, but God has a great sense of humor and decided to screw with her. So she gets a son, decides to hide that fact, and makes up some stupid ass story when the time comes that she was forced to tell people.

I'm not a very religious person, but the "cleansing by fire" may be just around the corner...

December, I always laughed it off, but i'm starting to wonder.

Fingers crossed at this point!

Fuck, it doesn't matter what you have or what color it's dressed in, people always think it's the opposite of what it is. I could have Jude dressed in all blue with trucks all over him, but he was born with a shit ton of dark curly hair, so everyone assumed he was a girl. Grace, OTOH, was bald until she was almost 2, so everyone asked what my son's name was. I finally made the poor kid a shirt that said, 'I'm not a boy,' and people still asked what 'his' name was.
