To the city miss evans thank you. How discuss i want to be addressed.

Water under the bridge we visit a gender sensitive kindergarten in which there is deliberately knowing that a separate building nor adult School Everything totally progresses not at all clothing or even toys have never been so clearly divided into blue for boys and pink for girls logical isnt it and its not like were born with a pink gene of course that has now only been invented pink is a color thats great it has signal strength all babies are crawling towards it but boys learn very quickly that this color is not for them its nonsense to think its genetic but we are of course promoting it because weve established structures in our society that have worked well for me its how i. Hear. The problem is of course not that the choice for girls are pink but that they are never paying for boys that means boys cant play with anything pink whats cute what has to do with now polish or makeup were too much and social behavior and these are all things that are only there for girls and when a little boy comes to school or kindergarten with his sisters pink skirt then its your gay so this little boy learns i cant be girlish i cant be soft i cant be gay and i have to be Everything Else that means i have to be tough i have to be cool i have to show that everything that has to do with girls is not my world he might have it. Stevie schmidle is mother of two daughters and founder of pink stings germany the numerous projects at one go to reduce gender stereotypes so that men and women have equal opportunities to criticize sexist at the taunting and to give children a different image of masculinity and femininity. This is our book david and his pink pony a play that we show at Elementary Schools to show boys that they can like pink and be soft or are cool sticker sexy yes sexist no it explains what sexism is and what isnt and very important love pink hate pink vacation. One country think thats. The thing especially in times of the me to debate why men discuss that hold the door open for women or not its understandable that society is completely confused weve had feminism for forty years now thats not much if you look at our cultural history and for the first time men are apparently completely excited and confused because now they say that you cant compliment a woman anymore and you dont really know what the right man is or what the bright woman is and in this time its of course a gender marketing which says that pink bobby cars for girls the blue one for the boy which creates an order this reminds us of our own childhood when gender roles were even more divided and it gives parents the feeling hey im doing this right i dont confuse my kid when everyones discussing whether its good for the kids to be taught something biologically unthought of many classic toys that used to be gender neutral on no also available in pink and blonde blue the term for this gender marketing the more stereotypical a target group can be supplying the more profitable the sales figures think its a case in is extremely lucrative in an industry whose global turnovers estimated at seventy six billion dollars. It starts with grimms fairy tales it starts with princess lily fe on every lunch box or suck and its always the little girls on all products for girls who always look into the camera or look at the viewer the pirates are always in action on the shampoos the puzzles the toys theyre always in action and look forward and think about what their next step is and the little girls always look into the camera with a look at tries to say am i beautiful enough thats something we girls have been taught from an early age or ever since. Corporations earn twice as much with special boy and girl sets. The manufacture of the colorful stones and at the time gender neutral subjects because it was all about one thing building such campaigns are a thing of the past just like the idea that only girls play with dolls or boys stand at the workbench. Never the less a blue baby doll sepsis hardly to be found on the market. Value. Thank you for what they. Claim i am of the second witness so i wouldnt say that weve experienced an insane revolution in kindergartens in recent years.

As a few there are definitely more than two genders there are definitely more than the perfect feminine or the perfect masculine and especially people who are either born intersexual transsexual or transgender of course find it incredibly difficult in this world where outside in advertising either the perfect woman in size is thirty four and one hundred seventy six centimeters tall and lovely smiling or the active man with muscles and strength can be seen we have such clear ideas of these only two ideas of being human that its very difficult for others not only for trans and injure humans but also for the very normal woman who cannot identify with them or the men to cope with them. Giuliana is a trans female the body warms up the characteristics of a mom it is not so until two thousand and eighteen that the w. H. O. States being so i gent its not a Mental Illness and playboy germany is proud to have trans women post recently cosmopolitanism intolerance as a marketing strategy. Transgenders dont want to highlight either and physicality plays a big role and how can you make this clear then by exposing yourself that is also connected with insane courage to really free oneself and to expose oneself and to say that i am now a woman i may have been born of man in other words there was a lot of approval for me very much a positive feedback but there were also fundamentalist on the other side who felt personally attacked that in their awareness of the values. The media response to the playboy type was great but one thing is important for football and she wants to be successful as a woman not just the first transgender model of the playbook mr because i want to be a normal woman and not in between somehow i dont have that dichotomy madame man well i accept that thats not an accusation not at all but it was very important to me that i was one hundred percent woman. Since she can remember shes not been able to identify with her biological sex. At six but someone i was six i talked to my mother i told her that i wanted to be a girl but she already knew it to. Be at all but it took a load off my mind i cried with relief she was crying i was crying and i thought i still have this combined. Its fun to say and i never really looked masculine and i always had long hair. But standish would say school days were not so great. The children get older. They get more hurtful they dont think about it i suffered very much thats become. I have slowly adept at her body to have perceived identity first with homeowners than with plastic surgery. At sixteen she underwent sex adopting surgery. As a d. J. Its a long long and given the sex change in the genital area well i get goosebumps just thinking about it it was horror for me i was bleeding for at least six days and i almost fell into a coma so i dont like to remember that. It went off. As it has done and im going to. Work and so really every day when the nurse came and changed the sheet id see all the blood and i was afraid i was crying every day i was really afraid for my life by and. To me even you have to. Follow is a model and was a candidate for the t. V. Shows im a celebrity get me out of here and germanys next top model.
