1. Scientists named the baby "X" to keep its gender unknown and avoid societal gender expectations (Gould, 2).
2. Many were turned down as parents because they were too traditional and not open-minded about gender roles (Gould, 3).
3. People had mixed reactions to baby X. For example, Mrs. Jones said, "I can’t believe you’re doing this. It’s unnatural!" (Gould, 5).
4. The Joneses worried about X starting school because they feared X would be ridiculed by other children (Gould, 7).
5. Other children began acting more like X because they were influenced by X's freedom from gender norms. One child "started wearing dresses" (Gould, 8).
6. Many parents were upset because they thought their children were getting confused about gender roles (Gould, 8).
7. X’s parents read stories like "Sleeping Handsome" to promote gender-neutral ideas and challenge traditional gender roles (Gould, 6).
8. The children mean that as X grows, gender will become less important and society will accept X’s identity (Gould, 6).
