the distance if it's not so important i wonder why when i buy a shampoo somewhere it says it's for women or for men so it's not the same for everyone. does this move by he'd employ that with every stupid form even if you fill in the address when ordering caps you have to write mr or mrs and it's a mandatory field that you fill out this form of address and you only have these two options you go to the toilet and have to identify yourself as either male or female i mean i wouldn't have any problem with having a feeling that i'm not accepted the way i am if it weren't for the strict classification categories induced and it. i. show that chest all back i used to fend off opponents bust lips broken elbows and sprained ankles

a part of the game. i. was a typical female sport. i think this question is a bit difficult what is typically female we are just people who play a full contact sport and of course it's rough because it's a full contact sport. i manipulate yes of course for historical reasons i don't know why one sees women as the weaker sex and i don't see the reason the sitting company we play it so it's typically female i say so too. sports is also understood by its operators as a statement against prevailing gender cliches the club is the only team worldwide

to have its own male cheerleader troop to children. and when i go to a sports store and want to buy clothes for sports is a men's department is loose a wide comfortable to wear in women's sports trousers are all like these yoga pants and that's very tight you can see every bit of fat and everything if i move around in it i know it is all i'm much more exposed to as wearing my regular sportswear than on the. the. is if i give it to you and that's the question we throw back to the audience why do you think it's funny when men do it but completely normal when women stand up on stage for an audience more or less in the tightest outfits and the crowd yells office and all of his other finished areas in these do many

and have to take myself out of a kind of normality that is constructed there that just works within a binary gender scheme to which i don't belong. to the image of an east anglia. how to scots i want to be addressed. just to be honest i haven't found a solution in german it's relatively simple in english most people use they or i ask them to his it and that feels good and it's difficult in german at the moment i think it's best if you just take the name so it's just kata. and. sucked. but even in a world that only emanates from men and women it is not always clear how would gender just spelling can be implemented slash in learned all star how can the

gender diversity be understood linguistically instead of in law and only underscores as the wrists are now considered to be contemporary in order to represent everyone. who is only making little to live it up is this to see further at this figure to get. those who pass through there like i was invited into streets a four inch very hard on motor than a box and lies to door like this tournament never said it was a partial knock i will give you this leaves. water under the bridge we visit a gender sensitive kindergarten in which there is deliberately annoying the separate building nor adult school everything totally progressive not at all clothing or even toys have never been so clearly divided into blue for boys and pink for girls logical isn't it and it's not like we're born with

a ping gene of course that has now only been invented pink is a color that's great it has signal strength all babies are crawling towards it but boys learn very quickly that this colors not for them it's nonsense to think it's genetic but we are of course promoting it because we've established structures in our society that have worked well and good for what i. hear. the problem is of course not that the toys for girls are pink but that they are never playing for boys that means boys can't play with anything pink what's cute what has to do with now polish or make up were too much and social behavior and these are all things that are only there for girls and when a little boy comes to school or kindergarten with his sisters pink skirt then it's your gay so this little boy learns i can't be girlish i can't be soft i can't be gay and i have to be everything that means i have to be tough i have to be cool i

have to show that everything that has to do with girls is not my world. stevie schmidle is mother of two daughters and founder of pink stings germany the numerous projects of one go to reduce gender stereotypes so that men and women have equal opportunity to criticize sexist but on seeing and to give children a different image of masculinity and femininity. this is our book david and his pink pony a play that we show at elementary schools to show boys that they can like pink and be soft or are cool sticker not sexy yes sexist no it explains what sexism is and what isn't and very important love pain hate pink vacation. one country think that's the last ping especially in times of the me to debate why men discuss that hold the door open for women or not it's understandable that
9:12 am
society is completely confused we've had feminism for forty years now that's not much if you look at our cultural history and for the first time men are apparently completely excited and confused because now they say that you can't compliment a woman anymore and you don't really know what the right man is or what the bright woman is and in this time it's of course a gender marketing which says the pink bobby cars for girls the blue one for the boy which creates an order this reminds us of our own childhood when gender roles were even more divided and it gives parents the feeling hey i'm doing this right i don't confuse my kid when everyone's discussing whether it's good for the kids to be taught something biologically unthought of many classic toys that used to be gender neutral on now also available in pink and blue the term for this gender marketing the more stereotypical the talk of group can be supplying the most

profitable the sales figures. i think if a cation is extremely lucrative in an industry whose global turnovers estimated at seventy six billion euro hopes. it starts with grimm's fairy tales it starts with princess lily fe on every lunch box or suck and it's always the little girls and all products for girls who always look into the camera or look at the viewer the pirates are always in action on the shampoos the puzzles the toys they're always in action and look forward and think about what their next step is and the little girls always look into the camera with a look at tries to say am i beautiful enough that's something we girls have been taught from an early age or ever since. corporations earn twice as much with special boy and girl since. the manufacturer of the colorful stones initially at the time gender neutral subjects because it was all about one thing building such

campaigns are a thing of the past just like the idea that only girls play with dolls or boys stand at the workbench. never the last blue baby doll sex is hardly to be found on the market. pluto. well they don't. look like they look. like a member of the settlement with me so i wouldn't say that we've experienced an insane revolution in kindergartens in recent years. of course in big cities like hamburger vienna there are gender neutral kindergartens but that's not the average many kindergarten still have the doll corner for the girls and the act of one for the boys there's still a lot to be done. as

a few there are definitely more than two genders there are definitely more than the perfect feminine or the perfect masculine and especially people who are either born intersexual transsexual or transgender of course find it incredibly difficult in this world where outside in advertising either the perfect woman in sizes thirty four and one hundred seventy six centimeters charl and lovely smiling or the active man with muscles and strength can be seen we have such clear ideas of these only two ideas of being human that it's very difficult for others not only for trans and injure humans but also for the very normal woman who cannot identify with them or the man to cope with them. giuliana is a trans female the body ones have the characteristics of a mom it is not so until two thousand and eighteen that the w.h.o. states being translated gente is not a mental illness and playboy germany is proud to have trans women clothes recently

cosmopolitanism and tolerance as a marketing strategy. the transgenders don't want to hide either and physicality plays a big role and how can you make this clear then by exposing yourself that is also connected with insane courage to really free oneself and to expose oneself and to say that i am now a woman i may have been born of man in other words there was a lot of approval for a very much positive feedback but there were also fundamentalists on the other side who felt personally attacked that in their awareness of the values. the media response to the playboy type was great but one thing is important she wants to be successful as a woman not test the first transgender model of the playbook it's better because i want to be a normal woman and not in between somehow i don't have that dichotomy madame man well i accept that that's not an accusation not at all but it was very important to

me that i was one hundred percent woman. since she can remember she's not been able to identify with her biological sex. at six and seven when i was six i talked to my mother i told her that i wanted to be a girl but she already knew it was the defense how upset to be at all it took a load off my mind i cried with relief she was crying i was crying and for life still comes to mind. it's hard to say and i never really looked masculine and i always had long hair. based on which would say school days were not so great. the children get older they get more hurt for that.
