We need to start moving beyond, like WAY BEYOND, utilizing a binary gender experience when thinking about or interacting with youth (and / or everyone else). The future is a spectrum!
@shivian It feels like a very simplistic question but I guess you gotta start somewhere
@shivian The survey "measured gender expression by asking every surveyed adolescent one question about how people at school viewed their physical
expression of femininity and masculinity.
A person’s appearance, style, dress, or the way they walk or talk may affect how people describe them. How do you think other people at school would describe you?
• Very feminine
• Mostly feminine
• Equally feminine & masculine
• Mostly masculine
• Very masculine"
