It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two - TopicsExpress



          

It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals. Working with young children shows me daily that they initially do not see gender. Yes, we teach them the biology of female and males but what enrages me is that the two sets of gender is already subtly being enforced elsewhere...e.g. Girls = pink, boys= blue. Some of my happiest times teaching is when boys come to school wearing nail varnish and girls eagerly show me their Spider-Man t-shirts. Please can we have more of this?
