If what DTD Alum said was that simple and straightforward, more parents who feel as these parents do would do what DTD Alum stated; and gender constructs would be less resistant to change.
The fact that 99% of parents don't do that (even if they claim that they do) perhaps means that doing that is no less difficult and no more logical than withholding the child's gender in the first place.
The EASIEST thing is to do what people do everyday. Divulge the child's biological sex, exaggerate the role of biology in determining gender, and go with the existing gender structure of "girls do this" and "boys do that."
