Theybies are babies that are being raised in a gender-neutral environment to defend against gender socialization. The purpose of this parenting strategy is to not push children into gender stereotypes or roles and let them choose what to become.
A theyby is a product of one or more parents choosing to shield a baby from gender expectations placed upon him or her based on sex. This includes, not having a gender reveal party or gender-specific colors, clothes, and toys. The name comes from replacing the "ba" from "babies" with "they."
