Can You Defeat the Gender Binary?

Here is the story of baby "X". Written by Lois Gould



Here is a real couple raising their baby in a gender neutral fashion
AND another in the mother's words


A cool blog about how siblings can help defeat the binary



You can defeat the binary.

I challenge you to......
....refer to your significant other as your "partner" or "significant other"
....introduce yourself with your preferred name AND preferred pronouns
....talk about people that haven't "OUTED" themselves as preferring specific pronouns with the gender neutral pronouns like "Ze", "Zem", "Zers"
....only use a bathroom if it is a single stall/ gender neutral space
....shop for clothes for kids that are gender neutral
....shop for toys that are gender neutral
....read stories that defy the constraints of weak females and strong males in heterosexual couplings
