Why make distinctions on gender?

David Mixner finds that youth are working to do away with the concept of gender. There aren't girl's toys and boy's toys, there are simply toys. There aren't girl's clothes and boy's clothes, there are comfortable clothes that fit a personal style. There aren't women's jobs and men's job, there are simply jobs. There aren't women's household chores and men's household chores, there are chores for whoever is better at doing them.

One of Mixner's young friends explains it to him this way:

Really David if we all are truly equal why do we have to make distinctions on gender? Doesn't that concept literally become irrelevant? Just think everyone will be liberated from the current gender requirements and totally free to explore every aspect of themselves. Now, David, that is freedom.

Mixner ponders that and expands on it.

People can be exactly who they want to be at any particular moment. They are just people. They can dress how they want, explore every aspect of their personalities and have intimacy with whom they want at any time in their lives. No one is labeled, stereotypes are thrown out the window, judgment of others quickly disappears, the roles that are currently demanded by gender identity are ended and shame of such exploration is non-existent.

As this young generation makes their presence and ideas felt, it will be fascinating to watch how they change the country.
