The couple says that they want to provide Star with freedom of choosing his own gender when he grows up, something that they were deprived of. They want that Star should grow up in a house which is as ordinary as possible and where he is saved by the rules and guidelines implemented by the society for gender roles.

Star is just like the other kids of his own age but the fact that differentiates him from the other kids is that he likes to play with cars, trucks, etc., along with dolls also. Other than this, Star also likes to paint his nails and wear make-up and he not only wears boy’ clothes but girl’s clothes as well.

One day, Star, who studies in nursery came home and said that he can’t play with dolls as they are for girls. Nikki and Louise then explained to him that anyone can play with any toy and there is nothing wrong with him playing with a doll. This happens because the kids are told about the choices that they should make and not given a chance to make their choices on their own.

There is no denying the fact that this unusual lifestyle is not liked by everyone and Nikki and Louise face problems at public places. Nikki says that she can handle it as she was used to be a bouncer in a gay club but it affects Lousie a lot. People stare, laugh and abuse them and just recently, a truck driver shouted at Louise saying that if he would have looked like him, he would have cut his throat.

There are doubts in the mind of the couple in relation to the future of their son, Star. They talked about the attitude of other kids as well when they decided to give Star a gender-fluid environment and they are worried about the possibility of Star being bullied by the other kids. However, later on they realized that kids will still bully the other kids whatever the reason may be.
