gender neutrality

Definition (Cambridge Dictionary) -  Gender neutrality describes the notion of "relating to people and not especially to men or to women". This movement separates a person from gender in order to avoid gender discrimination.

It could be considered that gender neutrality is a subculture when applying Dick Hebdidge's theory. He believes that "A subculture is a group of like minded individuals who feel neglected by societal standards and who develop a sense of identity which differs to the dominant on to which they belong." Many gender neutrals wish to detach themselves from gender as they could feel discriminated by the dominant "societal standards" would cloud over gender and even sexuality.

What is Gender Neutral?
 



Public policies - Gender neutral restrooms have been designed to eliminate gender distinctions, without distinguishing the gender of the person using them. They act as an anti-discrimination protections on the basis of race, colour, religion, national origin, sex, pregnancy status, age, disability, and genetic information. According to Dalhousie University, Canada: "A gender-neutral washroom is one where the signage is visibly identified with open, inclusive language, not just male or female. It's evident these facilities are void of gender identity and have accommodations that are especially sensitive to the needs of a greater range of people. Some people are not comfortable using male or female-designated washrooms."

We feel that the awareness of Gender Neutrality isn't vivid in society and believe that a lot of people do not know what being gender neutral is or are confused about it. Our aim is to attempt to create a piece that educates our audience about the subject and raise further awareness.
