    Loreen has an awesome voice and also a pretty catchy song! This is one of the rare cases when I actually like the song Sweden sends to Eurovision. Last years contribution was… well popular, but not really any […]

    Thank you for telling your story. I think AS needs this perspective.
    I am still shocked about the way alcohol/drugs is portrayed on this site, like it’s not really a problem. The Weed and Wine post left me […]

    this is a late reply, but I just had to say that I think I did mean to write “biological sex”, but I’m glad I didn’t, because I agree that the biological doesn’t exist outside of gender.

    “I’m not sure if a completely gender-neutral environment is necessarily healthy either. While enforced gender roles are oppressive, gender is still a very important part of most people’s identities. I don’t think the solution to patriarchy is to completely ignore gender. Maybe there is some sort of middle ground where the children at the school [...]

    That is the case. It really is. The teachers work with themselves, how they treat the children, as to not impose gender on young children, but don’t correct children’s expressions of gender and use of pronouns.
