    Interesting read, though approaches like this (attempting to blur gender definitions) often seem questionable as they begin to blur the lines between taught and inborn gender definitions, ie it seems that the typical response that this article demonstrates is to teach/encourage nontraditional gender definitions. While in the author's situation, it is obvious that some of the students entered the class with "blured" gender viewpoints, it becomes difficult to discern how much our educational system etc is contributing to and/or propogating these viewpoints simply by teaching them as "OK"

    Great article, but doesn't really seem appropriate for Hacker News.
