Gender neutrality

For the first time ever there’s an fictional character in book described as hen a mix between han and hon… Is that really neccessary ? Do you think society dictates childrens gender roles by its assumptions and presumtions ? Women and girls should look cute and where dresses, makeup and long hair. While boys and men should try to provide for their family, be able to protect their family and relatives whenever needed, work out in a gym regularly and don’t show any emotions in public…

There are a few families that have decided to not let the friends and family know the gender of their child… because they claim they want protect the child against gender roles that society has assigned us. Is it a good or a bad move ?

Pink are for girls blue are for boys. Girls should play dressup and house while boys should play with cars and lego. Some daycare centres have decided to not use him and her and instead call the children a person. And some daycare centres makes no difference between girls and boys, at least in Sweden.

Would you raise your child with consideration to gender neutrality ?
