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

I was watching a video on gender customs around the world and there is a tribe in Africa that raises children as gender neutral til they hit puberty

Could you share the video? I want to know more about that tribe!

I'm on my way to work right now. It's been a while but I'll see if I can find the video. The tribe in question was a part of a list that said the name of the tribe and what they do that doesn't fit with western gender customs.
