SpeakOUT and Mer+ge™

What makes pink a girl color and blue a boy color? Why are girls supposed to wear dresses and boys supposed to wear pants? The ways in which we demonstrate our sex as male or female is something that is learned throughout our lives. The restroom sign, which is one of the most universally understood symbols for gender, merely reinforces these gender stereotypes. In today’s world, a world in which we claim equality and freedom of expression, we must move away from these arbitrary gender biases and allow people to express their unique individuality.
