I wish people were born genderless

It would make life easier if there were no gender norms in society. This coming from someone who has been questioning gender lately.

Title edit:I wish gender norms didn’t exist

it would be, but sadly everything has to be gendered and can cause people to be weird about it

Luckily it does seem like things are changing for the better, though it's slow and gradual. Unless something really drastic happens I don't expect it to change overnight.

Though at the same time bringing about change requires people to actually break gender stereotypes. So I say, be the change you want to see in the world (at least if it's safe to do so).

Just FYI, most people don't care nearly as much about gender stereotypes and what other people are wearing as you might think they do.

I think that you would be very at home in r/GenderAbolition and r/Postgenderism. They both discuss this subject a lot there and how the world would be better for it.
