50 percent of millennials believe gender exists as a spectrum
The Daily Targum ^ | 2-16-2015 | Katia Oltmann

Zaneta Rago, the Director of Rutgers’ Social Justice Center, said that she was surprised there were not more millennials who believed that gender exists on a spectrum.

“It's wonderful that approximately half of the respondents understood gender as a spectrum, but that means we're only half way there," she said.

Daniella Anconetami, a School of Arts and Sciences first-year student, said that she believes in the gender spectrum.

She said that she discovered that gender “wasn’t black and white” in high school, and said that her opinions about gender identity changed after meeting someone who was transgender in high school.

Jennifer Oh, a School of Environmental and Biological Sciences junior, said that she believes gender exists on a vast spectrum.

She said that parents of the millennial generation usually taught their kids that male and female were the only two categories for gender, but doing research and meeting transgender people can change millennials' minds.

Rago also emphasized the importance of education in spreading awareness about non-binary forms of gender identity.

"The data [in the poll] showed that the numbers shifted between regions and level of education," she said. "There is quite a bit of work being done across campuses in regards to inclusion and awareness, and I think the numbers accurately reflect the work."

She said people should still keep in mind that not everyone will have the economic access to a college education, so making sure campuses are reaching their surrounding populations and partnering with community-based organizations will be key to spreading awareness.

Rago also said that she thinks millennials are “courageous” because they are “defining their experiences for themselves” instead of following more rigid binaries of gender.

This is the natural result of accommodating a mental illness.

“Fusion, a multiplatform media company owned jointly by Univision Communications and Disney/ABC Television...”did the survey.

If you look at how many homosexuals work for Disney you will understand 50% of that team.

They surveyed ‘a representative sample of 1,000 millennials, defined as people who are between 18 and 34’.

Yeah, THAT’S pretty much all of America/sarc.

Until it’s time for when the guy pegging ‘middle-spectrum male’ gets a ‘mainly-spectrum female’ pregnant and can’t afford the abortion, then they find themselves with a actual female or male baby. Then child support forces everybody back to non-spectrum gender.

The gray area is where the pedophiles dwell. They don’t want black and white to exist.

I doubt 50% of millennials even know what a spectrum is...

I was born a poor black child, trapped within a body of a cracka. I am applying for a UNCF scholarship for college, and want priority when applying for any job. It is my right as an oppressed minority.

I’ve heard that Disney is full of homos.

It’s a shame so many colleges and universities have gone in the direction of pushing social change than they have educating students. They’re dumping a bunch of clueless know-it-alls on society.

You get one set of plumbing or the other, that’s actually one of the easier things in life to understand :)

I took a look at that crazy list of fifty or more "genders" put out by Facebook.

One was for men who knew they were men.

One was for women who knew they were women.

The other fifty or so were for freaks who couldn't decide exactly what they were. They all basically boiled down to 'Other'.

Which reminds me of a horror movie I once saw...

50% of millenials are idiots when it comes to gender.

Okay, good to know. Seems a ripe demographic for certain kinds of scams.

For a while they were assigning genders to personality types and I do think that caused problems.

Previous generations were not so apt to invent trouble.

Gender is a facet of grammar only and can apply to inanimate objects and does in most European languages. The sexes are what people are mixed up about and there are only two of those.

they believe a person ‘gender’ is malleable due to years of indoctrination

basically:

a person’s sex relates to their genitalia.
a person’s gender relates to how they see themselves (feminine or masculine)
a person’s sexuality depends on their sex and gender... and how they expect to get their jiggly bits excited

If you cannot find what you like in the current gender spectrum, make up a new one.
