If we don’t know our history we are doomed to repeat it, as this article demonstrates. Gender stereotypes were smashed by the grandparents of today’s ‘enbies’ & we managed to do it without denying reality, selling out our sex or betraying our sexuality 1/2 https://t.co/yWD1XpMPIa

From the ever-so-excited BBC article:

A new exhibition at a city gallery includes images depicting youth culture across the UK, capturing the “collapse of gender binaries”.

The Saturday Town project, by photographer Casey Orr at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum in Coventry, features 95 images collected over 13 years….

“People use fashion and style to explore their identities, find their tribes and state their values,” said Orr.

“The biggest single change that is reflected in my exhibition is the collapse of gender binaries in 2016 – it was a revolution and was incredible to witness,” she added.

Some she photographed were people using their chosen names for the first time, she said, “and I have photographed and been a part of trans and non-binary kids feeling seen and celebrated”

It suddenly happened in 2016, this gender binary collapse? Gosh, why did no none ever think of doing it before?

Some gender binaries never change though. Still just women wearing the hijab.
