This was so insightful, Mahima. I have not had kids around me for a very long time but I remember the toxicity of school during adolescence- the policing of skirt lengths, bra straps, hair braids, kajal and what not. I remember not liking the attacks but I don't remember identifying them as gendered- it felt so normal! It is encouraging to hear how these dynamics are shifting with children themselves questioning so much. As always, thanks for writing this and putting in the effort of gathering all these perspectives.

Great insights and the right way to think - gender-neutral - we all need to become. Thanks for this blog, absolutely loved it.
