And the hashtag itself is so wrong.

It's a good watch, seen it before.

Truly impaired.

Agree. I struggle with the idea of going ahead with it at their age but that Camille seemed so happy it would be hard to argue against.

IIRC there's one who is a girl at home and Louis asks if they will be female when they grow up and they say probably not.

I have to admit I'm baffled by the anger and hysteria on here. Maybe I'm just misreading it, but all I'm seeing from this story is that, as adults, we instinctively treat young males and females differently - and that in turn potentially affects what life choices they make and what careers they end up in, e.g. if you naturally encourage a boy to build, solve puzzles, etc, he is more likely to go on to be a scientist, engineer, etc, than a girl who has been encouraged to dress up dolls, play with make up, etc.

Nothing to do with cross dressing or how many genders there are - I'm not sure why people are getting so angry about what appears to be inherent sexism limiting our childrens' potential.


Not sure why this thread's been revived, I didn't see it originally, but many people appear to have missed? the text at around 1.28 which says

"when children play spatial awareness games regularly, their brains chnge within 3 months"

so I share your bafflement.

Maybe worth highlighting my personal experiences as a late 60s female who went to a girls' independent school in the 1950s and 60s. When it came to careers advice at 15, we were pointed in the direction of only 3 career choices - nursing, teaching or secretarial (apart from one bright girl whose family were mostly doctors, so she applied for & got into medical school).

It was only in my final year of an OU Arts degree in my late 30s that I decided to do the Technology Foundation course because I wanted to learn to use a computer as a tool to help me tackle a higher degree. Well, guess what - an excellent tutor managed to steer me through the maths, which I'd never been able to get my head round at school, and I found to my complete amazement, that physics, technology and engineering were absolutely fascinating - if you'd told me when I was 15 that someday I'd be riveted (sorry!) by turbines & generation of power, eg, I'd have dismissed that as utterly ridiculous! If those had been subjects that I'd been introduced to at school, I might have gone down that kind of route instead of my eventual choice later on (age 22) of probation officer & social worker, albeit I did very much enjoy those roles in their own right.

I think it's great this experiment was conducted, basic tho it was, and well done those willing to participate and learn from it. And if the reaction of some on the thread is representative of society at large, we could do with more like it, esp for prospective parents and teachers!
