What gender neutrality motions are taking place? Specifically at the level of childhood environments and teachings?
- Tipzntrix 14y agoParents not buying gendered clothes or discussing their child's gender until after birth, texts using "she" as often as "he" or occasionally neither at all. Overall there's more of that social push than there ever was (perhaps because there was none at all). In fact, there's even a school in Sweden that went hardline on this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/primaryeducation/9340632/Primary-schools-praised-for-labelling-four-year-olds-transgender.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/primaryeducation/934063...
- ttttannebaum 14y agoAll of those things are fantastic but extremely isolated. Some of those things make the news every time they happen. Agendered thinking is pretty marginal.
- Tipzntrix 14y agoI will say that it may take another 10-15 years to see the results of these programs, when these kids enter university. The motions are mostly too recent to affect current post-secondary students.
