(Video research) What kindergarteners taught me about gender



Batya Greenwald



  • She could not wait one more day to be “herself”
  • She hated going to the boy’s bathroom.
  • Myth 1: Gender is binary, female is feminine and male is masculine
  • Myth 2: Sex and gender are different things (biology/anatomy)
  • The earlier we allow children to express themselves then there will be less prejudice in the world.
  • 1/2000 (more than 2 babies a day) are born (anatomy) are not conformed to either binary gender.
  • “Breaking the rules”
  • Society doesn’t know what to do with people who are out of the gender binary.
  • Why is gender so important to us?
