Mano kaimynai Nyderlanduose tik pagimdėte ir išdidžiai puošia savo langą su rožiniais balionais ir girlianda sako: "Valio, mergina!" This would probably be shocking to a new category of Swedish parents, who refuse to reveal the sex of their baby to family and friends as well as to daycare staff. The baby is given a gender-neutral name, and will be dressed in anything but pink and light-blue. Kodėl? The parents don’t want their child to be subjected to society’s division of human beings into male and female, claiming that the stereotypes linked to it limit the child’s freedom. While this remains rather rare, there is a rapidly increasing number of preschools in Sweden where gender equality is the main ideological and educational basis. In these schools, the staff strives to treat girls and boys equally in all respects. They don’t hide the fact that both sexes exist, but don’t make a point of it and won’t encourage the children to play and behave in a way that is typical for their sex. They won’t call them girls and boys, but refer to them as ”friends” or ”children”. Conveniently enough, a new pronoun is making its way into the Swedish language: ”hen”, meaning both ”he” and ”she” (”han” and ”hon” in Swedish). When the practice of using ”he” for both sexes in law texts was changed to the more cumbersome ”he or she”, texts became difficult to read and people started looking for other solutions. The idea of ”hen” comes from the Finnish language (although Finnish is completely different from Swedish; its closest relative among European languages is Hungarian), which uses the pronoun ”hän” for both sexes. Apart from being used in texts to increase readability, the Swedish pronoun ”hen” is now used by advocates of gender neutrality. The new pronoun and gender-neutral preschools are hot topics in Sweden right now. An increasing number of people like and make use of them, but a big part of the population is very critical towards them. Sweden is one of the leading countries when it comes to gender equality. Thanks to the important work that has been done in this regard, women and men now basically have the same opportunities in all areas of life. When gender equality turns into gender neutrality, tačiau, are we still going in the right direction? Isn’t there a risk that gender-neutral treatment introduces another type of prejudice? When girls behave in a traditionally girly way, and boys behave in a traditionally boyish manner, will this be happily accepted or will they feel that their behaviour is wrong? Will there be a new ideal of tough girls and soft boys, as some critics fear? How will children develop when their parents actively try to conceal what sex they are? Will they think that it’s bad to be a boy or a girl? Will they revolt against their upbringing and shower their own daughters with princess stuff, and their sons with cars and toy guns? Or will these children simply be freer and more unprejudiced than those who grow up in more traditional families, and contribute to a positive change in society? Time will show. What are you thoughts on this modern, Swedish approach to gender equality? Kristina was born in Hamburg, Vokietija, but moved to Sweden at the age of 8 (her mother is German, her father Swedish). She studied French and linguistics and works as a translator. At the moment she lives in the Netherlands with her French husband and their two daughters, metų 17 months and 4 metai. Kristina is interested in psychology and right now particularly focuses on child and family psychology. Working three days a week and being a full-time mom the remaining days, she doesn’t find as much time to read, write and practice yoga and music as she would like, but appreciates her early mornings in trains. There is nothing like contemplating an awakening landscape from a train with a cup of hot chocolate. Vaizdas, naudojamas šiame pranešime būtų įskaityta į Jonathan Stonehouse.

Mo comharsana san Ísiltír raibh leanbh acu agus tá maisithe bród a n-fhuinneog le balúin bándearg agus Garland ag rá: "Hooray, cailín!" Bheadh sé seo is dócha shocking le catagóir nua de thuismitheoirí na Sualainne, a dhiúltú chun nochtann an gnéas a leanbh a teaghlach agus cairde chomh maith don fhoireann cúram lae. Tá an leanbh a thabhairt ar an t-ainm inscne neodrach, agus déanfar é a cóirithe i rud ar bith ach bándearg agus solas gorm-. Cén fáth? Ní bhaineann na tuismitheoirí ag iarraidh a leanaí a bheith faoi réir rannán na sochaí de dhaoine i fireann agus baineann, éileamh go bhfuil an steiréitíopaí nasctha leis saoirse an linbh. Cé go bhfuil sé seo in áit annamh, tá méadú go tapa roinnt naíonraí sa tSualainn chás nach bhfuil comhionannas inscne an príomh-bhonn idé-eolaíocha agus oideachais. Sna scoileanna, Déanann an fhoireann chun cailíní agus buachaillí caitheamh go cothrom ar gach slí. Níl siad cheilt ar an bhfíric go bhfuil ann dá sexes, ach ní a dhéanamh pointe é agus ní bheidh na páistí a spreagadh a imirt agus iad féin a iompar ar bhealach atá tipiciúil le haghaidh a n-inscne. Ní bheidh siad glaoch orthu cailíní agus buachaillí, ach tagairt a dhéanamh dóibh mar "cairde" nó "leanaí". Conveniently go leor, Tá forainm nua ag déanamh a mbealach isteach sa teanga na Sualainne: "Them", a chiallaíonn an bheirt "sé" agus "sí" ("Han" agus "Breitheamh" i Sualainnis). Nuair a athraíodh an cleachtas baint úsáide as "sé" don dá inscne i dtéacsanna dlí chuig an níos cumbersome "sé nó sí", bhí téacsanna deacair a léamh agus a thosaigh daoine ag lorg réitigh eile. An smaoineamh ar "cearc" a thagann as an teanga Fionlainne (cé go bhfuil na Fionlainne go hiomlán difriúil ó na Sualainne; is é a gaol is gaire i measc teangacha Eorpacha Ungáiris), a úsáideann an forainm "Han" don dá inscne. Amach ó á n-úsáid i dtéacsanna inléiteacht a mhéadú, Is é an forainm na Sualainne "gcearc" úsáid anois ag abhcóidí neodracht inscne. Is iad na forainm agus inscne-neodrach réamhscoileanna nua ábhair te sa tSualainn ceart anois. Méadú ar líon na ndaoine mhaith agus iad a úsáid, ach tá cuid mhór den daonra an-chriticiúil i dtreo iad. Tá tSualainn ar cheann de na tíortha tosaigh nuair a thagann sé chun comhionannas inscne. A bhuíochas leis an obair thábhachtach atá déanta i dtaca leis seo, anois mná agus fir go bunúsach na deiseanna céanna i ngach réimse den saol. Nuair a casadh comhionannas inscne isteach neodracht inscne, áfach, táimid fós ag dul sa treo ceart? Nach bhfuil an baol ann go tugtar isteach cóireáil neodrach ó thaobh inscne de chineál eile dochar? Nuair a féin a iompar cailíní ar bhealach traidisiúnta girly, agus do bhuachaillí féin a iompar ar bhealach traidisiúnta boyish, Beidh sé seo go sona sásta glacadh nó a bhraitheann siad go bhfuil a n-iompar mícheart? An mbeidh idéalach nua de chailíní agus buachaillí diana bog, mar eagla roinnt léirmheastóirí? Cén chaoi a mbeidh a fhorbraíonn leanaí nuair a gcuid tuismitheoirí iarracht ghníomhach a cheilt cad gnéas go bhfuil siad? An mbeidh a cheapann siad go bhfuil sé olc a bheith ina buachaill nó cailín? An mbeidh siad éirí amach i gcoinne a n-óige agus cithfholcadh a n-iníonacha féin leis an stuif banphrionsa, agus a mic le gluaisteáin agus gunnaí bréagán? Nó beidh na páistí a bheith simplí níos saoire agus níos unprejudiced ná iad siúd atá ag fás suas i dteaghlaigh níos traidisiúnta, agus cur leis an athrú dearfach i sochaí? Beidh Am a thaispeáint. Cad atá tú smaointe ar an nua-aimseartha, Cur chuige na Sualainne le comhionannas inscne? Rugadh Kristina i Hamburg, An Ghearmáin, ach bhog sé go dtí an tSualainn ag aois 8 (tá a máthair Gearmáinis, a hathair Sualainnis). Sí staidéar ar an bhFraincis agus teangeolaíocht agus ag obair mar aistritheoir. I láthair na huaire tá sí ina cónaí san Ísiltír lena fear céile na Fraince agus an dá iníonacha, d'aois 17 mhí agus 4 bliana. Bhfuil suim acu i síceolaíocht Kristina agus díríonn sé ceart anois go háirithe ar leanaí agus teaghlaigh síceolaíocht. Ag obair trí lá sa tseachtain agus a bheith ina mam lánaimseartha na laethanta atá fágtha, nach bhfuil sí a aimsiú oiread ama a léamh, scríobh agus a chleachtadh Yoga agus ceol mar ba mhaith léi, ach Tuigeann sí maidin go luath i traenacha. Níl aon rud cosúil le smaoineamh tírdhreach mhúscailt ó traein le cupán seacláide te. Tá an íomhá a úsáidtear sa phost seo do shochar Jonathan Stonehouse.
