"Let’s take “Gender Identity” for our example. I identify as a man, but I identify with a lot of what it means to be a woman. I’m sensitive, kind, familial, and I really like dark chocolate (kidding — stuff’s disgusting). Possessing this “woman-ness” doesn’t make me any less of a man. But it’s a large part of my gender identity, and those traits affect my life and influence my decisions as much and more than many of my “man-ness” "
So I came across this when looking for current illustrations based around gender identity. I've come to understand gender as more of a spectrum, rather than a binary. This illustration has definitely helped me understand it a little further, but I think it's still quite hard to understand. I'd like to create my own version of this, simplified and aimed towards children aged 7 - 11 to go in the publication I'm proposing.
