«A Canadian
couple has sparked controversy by deciding to keep the sex of their 4-month-old
baby a secret as part of an attempt to raise a "genderless child".
Kathy Witterick, 38, and David Stocker, 39, are raising their third child,
Storm, to be free of societal norms regarding gender, reports the Mirror. They
want Storm to decide for itself whether it is going to be a boy or a girl.
»A couple
who have spent five years keeping their child's sex a secret have finally
revealed it's a boy. Beck Laxton, 46, and partner Kieran Cooper, 44, decided to
hide it from all but their closest relatives and raise him as "gender
neutral". According to them, gender neutral was the way to go, if they
wanted to allow their child's true personality to emerge. Laxton is of the
opinion that gender stereotyping is fundamentally stupid, and she wanted to
avoid it all together. In fact she goes as far as to say that early gender
stereotyping can be harmful. "Gender affects what children wear and what
they can play with, and that shapes the kind of person they become", she
says.»

«Ironically,
in the effort to free Swedish children from so-called normative behavior,
gender-neutral proponents are also subjecting them to a whole set of new rules
and new norms as certain forms of play become taboo, language becomes
regulated, and children's interactions and attitudes are closely observed by
teachers. One Swedish school got rid of its toy cars because boys
"gender-coded" them and ascribed the cars higher status than other
toys. Another preschool removed "free playtime" from its schedule
because, as a pedagogue at the school put it, when children play freely "stereotypical
gender patterns are born and cemented. In free play there is hierarchy,
exclusion, and the seed to bullying." And so every detail of children's
interactions gets micromanaged by concerned adults, who end up problematizing
minute aspects of children's lives, from how they form friendships to what
games they play and what songs they sing.
»The
Swedish school system has wholeheartedly, and probably too quickly and eagerly,
embraced this new agenda. Last fall, 200 teachers attended a major
government-sponsored conference discussing how to avoid "traditional
gender patterns" in schools. At Egalia, one model Stockholm preschool,
everything from the decoration to the books and toys are carefully selected to
promote a gender-equal perspective and to avoid traditional presentations of
gender and parenting roles. The teachers try to expose the pupils to as few
"gendered expressions" as possible. At Christmastime, the Egalia
staff rewrote a traditional song as "hen bakes cakes all day long."
When pupils play house, they are encouraged to include "mommy, daddy,
child" in their imaginary families, as well as "daddy, daddy,
child"; "mommy, mommy, child"; "daddy, daddy, sister,
aunty, child"; or any other modern combination.»

«Activists
are lobbying for parents to be able to choose any name for their children
(there are currently just 170 legally recognized unisex names in Sweden). The
idea is that names should not be at all tied to gender, so it would be
acceptable for parents to, say, name a girl Jack or a boy Lisa.»

«Early
childhood contexts often enact “common-sense identities” that create and
sustain the notion that teachers of young children are expressly female and
heterosexual. It has also been argued that touch is a key difference between
men and women in early childhood classrooms. This exploratory study examined 10
early childhood textbooks to determine whether images depicting touch enacted
these common-sense notions. To investigate whether implicit gendered messages
existed within the texts, images displaying touch between teachers and children
were grouped according to three main recurrent themes: teacher touching child,
child touching teacher, and mutually negotiated contact. Findings indicated
that, although the images of male teachers were positive, troubling patterns
did emerge concerning the type and nature of men’s contact with children. These
patterns worked to reaffirm larger patriarchal structures at play in schools
and society while simultaneously painting women as more suitable to nurture
young children. Furthermore, the texts provided clear messages to beginning
teachers that acceptable types of touch were delineated by gender. The article
concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings for early
childhood preservice teacher education»

«The need
for gender neutral pronouns
»Singular
gender-neutral third-person pronouns should be employed within the classroom in
order to demonstrate the utmost of establishing an inclusive environment.
Conventionally, the third-person pronoun commonly used is “he” which excludes
the female students, and most especially, students transitioning between gender
affiliations. There is also many undertones and historical currents that can be
translated from the dominating use of ‘he,’ but the focus of this article is to
expose the existence of gender-neutral pronouns and how they can be employed in
the classroom. Sexual orientation is a sensitive matter, one that has become
forefront in conversations within our societies. Transforming language
conventions to include a neutral pronoun that is neither male nor female
specific is the first step in promoting a fully inclusive 21st century
classroom.

Nir, Nirs/ Nemself
Ve/Ver/Vis/Verself
Spivak
(ey/em/eir/eirs/eirself)
Ze/Hir and

»What we
are left with
»Gender-neutral
pronouns align to a lifestyle of diversity and inclusiveness. However, existing
gender-neutral pronoun sets still have much adaptations and transformations to
undertake. Transitioning into such language patterns will be difficult and tedious,
but rewarding for identity constructs and the self-perceptions of your
students.»

Τὸ κορίτσι καὶ ἡ ζωγραφιά του
Ἡ Liz Bierendy, ἕνα ὄμορφο 17χρονο κορίτσι μὲ ἔφεσι στὴν
ζωγραφικὴ, ἀνέλαβε νὰ κάνῃ μιὰ τοιχογραφία στὸ σχολεῖο της. Ζωγράφισε ἕνα ἀγόρι
ποὺ παίζει παιχνίδια, μεγαλώνει καὶ παίζει τὴν κιθάρα του, πηγαίνει στὸ
Γυμνάσιο, ντύνεται μοντέρνα καὶ διασκεδάζει ὅπως ὅλοι οἱ νεαροί, πηγαίνει στὸ
πανεπιστήμιο, σπουδάζει, βρίσκει μιὰ ὡραῖα κοπέλα, παντρεύονται καὶ κάνουν ἕνα
παιδάκι. Μιὰ μοντέρνα, δεμένη, εὐτιχισμένη οἰκογένεια.
Τὴν εἶπαν ρατσίστρια. Οἱ καθηγητὲς τῆς εἶπαν νὰ σβήσῃ τὴν
ζωγραφιά της. Ἀπὸ κι ὡς ποῦ, εἶπαν, ἡ οἰκογένεια νὰ παριστάνεται μὲ πατέρα καὶ
μητέρα, ποὺ εἶναι μάλιστα παντρεμένοι; (Καὶ μάλιστα εὐτυχισμένοι. Καὶ ἡ μητέρα
νὰ ἀκουμπᾷ προστατευτικὰ τὸ χέρι στὸν ὧμο τοῦ παιδιοῦ.) Αὐτὸ εἶναι ρατσιστικό.
Γιατὶ δὲν ζωγράφισες δύο ομόφυλους ἢ ἕναν ἀνύπαντρο ἢ χωρισμένο;
Τὸ κορίτσι ἀναρωτιέται τί κακὸ ἔκανε καὶ ἀρνεῖται νὰ σβήσῃ τὴν |
ζωγραφιά του.

«There will
be one set of bathrooms in each of seven buildings that will be gender neutral.
The rest of the bathrooms in those buildings, as well as the rest of campus,
will remain gender-segregated. For the bathrooms that are marked “Gender
Neutral” all students will be able to use the bathroom of their choice, no
matter their gender identity or expression. There are all sorts of gender
identities and expressions out there, beyond the two you see the most. Raising
awareness of that diversity is part of our mission with this event. Thank you
for asking!»
