Vanessa LoBue, assistant professor of psychology at Rutgers-Newark, has contributed an article at The Conversation that was forwarded to me. When do children develop their gender identity?
It turns out that for young children, initial concepts about gender are quite flexible. In my own research, I’ve found that children don’t begin to notice and adopt gender-stereotyped behaviors (e.g., preferring colors like pink or blue) until the age of two or three. A few years later, their concept of gender becomes quite rigid, and although it becomes more relaxed by middle childhood, even adults have trouble going back to thinking about gender as something that’s flexible.

This epic-rant happened when Bernie was telling Rachel Maddow, 'what he really thinks' about the Corporate Media's kid-glove 1-dimension treatment of Donald Trump when it comes to his positions on the Issues.
This happened at Sanders' recent Townhall event on MSNBC, with Ms Maddow moderating.

Good morning, my dear friends of c99, from a rainy morning in southern Ontario. Great weather for ducks. My primary interest is spirituality and I really should get to it sometimes, eh :=) I would like to show you a drawing by my daughter the genius illustrator (this is called Dad-bragging.) I think mostly in images and I asked her to draw the tree of consciousness image that lives in me. More below.
It just changed into something even worse.
Home prices have returned to bubble-level prices, but millions of former homeowners remain permanently damaged from the bust.
