This is quite good a piece that dispels some qualms people have with the idea - 5 Myths About Gender Neutral Parenting

It's about liberating the child and enabling them to make their own choices and decide how they wish to live their life from as early an age as possible.
Kizzy was only commenting on that one mother, as she mentioned the older siblings.

It's not allowing a child to make their own choice. You're born the way you are.

If you're born with white skin, you're white. If you're born a girl, you're a girl. There is no choice.

If you decide later in life to change genders that's fair enough but it doesn't change the actual fact that you were born one specific gender. Confusing children from the start is basically telling them from the beginning "You're not going to like how you were born".
