Gender tags



Yesterday my daughter had an assignment in science,  it was a sr. Nursery discussion about gender as symbolized by the clothes they wear.  Check if the article of clothing is for girls and cross if the articles of clothing are for boys.  

I had to balance reality and the function of the assignment,  generic dresses, floral panties and clear cut hair accessories for girls are easy to tag,  but the shirts, shorts, pants and shoes that are not dainty i had to clarify as "for boys" with the definition of "what daddy can wear" since i myself tend to be more comfortable with the boys set shirt, pants, boots when going to the office and shirt, short combo at home.  

I am glad that J is having the same comfort playing and moving about dresses and shirts and pants. I prefer the later and rarely go around with the former.  So i am actually cross dresser but it is a non issue because i am a woman and i am straight.  Hurray for feminists before me that paved the way.  

In this day and age of Caitlyn Jenner,   Veejay Floresca-Valkyrie,  pink dinosaur#inmyshoes issues,  i am not sure if these curriculum would be enough for the millenials,  i am not sure if this kind of tagging develops these labels that this society is now kind of boiling over from,  crossdressing policy,  gender equality, gender acceptance, SOGIE. 

If however calm acceptance has been reached, there is still issues of morality and correctness that has to be settled.   Let us say the deviance is because there is a need to pursue a personal need for happiness, that morality and facing the maker is individual.  Accept.   But let's not hate the moralist reminders,  the followers of the manual of life,  because there are still happiness sought in the straight and narrow,  leave them be.  Also there should be acceptance toward the non accepting.  It is their happiness. Accept.
