- As far as I can see, this was coined by Alex Morris in "It's a Theyby! Is it possible to raise your child entirely without gender from birth? Some parents are trying” but not generally adopted. Kiwima (talk) 22:45, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
- I found five independent Usenet cites, but this appears to be a hotword. All the other Usenet hits were "they + by" or misspellings of thereby . . . plus one use of the gender-neutral baby meaning in German. Khemehekis (talk) 04:33, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
- I have also heard this a number of times (it is pretty standard in my faith community to be against this kind of childrearing philosophy). I have also heard it on the radio and on podcasts. I don't, however, care enough about the word to bother looking up citations. Tharthan (talk) 05:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
