Tang Feng, a member of Taiwan Province Province who used information technology to fight the epidemic, is known as "genius IT minister". Since the age of 25, she has declared her transgender identity, and the gender column of her ID card is "None". According to news reports, Tang Feng's parents also respect her children's decision, but in fact, Tang Feng has not undergone sex-change surgery, and she has been living as a transgender. Tang Feng once said: I'm not a transsexual. I've always been myself.
Tang Feng thinks that everyone is different, but she only realized this earlier. As a transgender woman, Tang Feng's clothes are also relatively neutral. Both her parents are engaged in journalism. Her father Tang Guanghua was the former deputy editor-in-chief of China Times, and her mother Li Yaqing was the deputy editor-in-chief of Business Weekly. Tang Feng was able to become a talented minister of IQ 180 from a maladjusted child, and his parents' support also contributed.

For transgender people, the average person may not be able to change to a completely inclusive position for a while, but we can start with gender equality education so that children will not be dominated by social stereotypes from an early age. This can refer to Sweden, a country that attaches great importance to gender equality. Sweden once declared that achieving gender equality is the top priority of Swedish policy decision-making and resource allocation.
Swedish kindergarten director: Regardless of gender, everyone has the right to be a complete person.
Sweden not only implements anti-discrimination laws at work, but also tries its best to level the wage gap of equal pay for equal work. The protection of sexual minorities has long been written into the constitution. In addition, parents can coordinate * * * to take 480 days of parental leave, which can be taken before the child is eight years old, and in these days, they can get some wages and subsidies, and * * * stipulates that both parents must take at least 60 days off each other and cannot adjust each other. Friendly parenting environment and system allow parents to share the heavy responsibility of parenting.

In addition to * * *, there are many non-governmental organizations with the concept of gender equality education, which are committed to establishing a correct gender concept for the next generation. Iglia Kindergarten in the South Island of Stockholm is such a school. The founder Lota Rajalin once said, "We are not saying that girls should be boys, or that boys should be girls. We just hope that everyone has the right to be a complete person regardless of gender. " Is this concept very consistent with Tang Feng's statement?
The neutral word replaces him or her.
In Iglia, when teachers choose children's books, they will avoid books with traditional gender stereotypes and division of labor, such as the story of the princess waiting for the rescue of the prince like Sleeping Beauty. Instead, they will arrange stories featuring animals or rewrite them themselves to ensure that stories or nursery rhymes contain non-traditional family concepts, such as single-parent families and same-sex families.
During play time, children are not required to play with "toys that match their gender", and children can freely choose what they like, regardless of gender identity. Boys can play with Barbie dolls and girls can play with robots, without discrimination.
In addition, it is very special that teachers don't use pronouns he (Han) or she (Han), but use neutral words Hen from Finland, or call them friends, and don't call their parents mom and dad. In addition, words that traditionally end in men, such as snowman, will also be converted into neutral words, such as snow map.
Studies have pointed out that compared with other kindergartens in Sweden, children in Iglia kindergarten are more likely to play with the opposite sex than other children of the same age, and will not stereotype themselves or others because of their gender.
Moreover, the Swedish National Education Bureau also takes the concept of Igliya kindergarten as a course: educators should inspire and challenge children, expand their abilities and interests in a way beyond typical gender selection, and at the same time ensure that all children, regardless of gender, have equal influence and receive equal attention.
