Maybe the real issue is lack of proper education on gender identities 🤔
Education can only go so far. The real issue is societys unwillingness to accept and respect diverse gender identities. Its about empathy, not just knowledge. We need to prioritize inclusivity and understanding over simply educating ourselves on the topic.
Shouldnt society do more to educate teens on acceptance and tolerance?
Teens should learn these values at home, not rely on society to do it for them. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their childrens attitudes towards acceptance and tolerance. Its not societys responsibility to fix parenting shortcomings.
