First off before I ask my questions I should clarify that I have no intention of portraying a non-gendered society as either utopian or dystopian. <br><br>With that being said the questions I have are<br><br>-How would reproductive rights work in a non-gendered society? The rights to abortion, surrogacy, artificial insemination, in vitro, sperm donors, and egg donors are either masculine or feminine in the way people view them. How would people feel about having the right to use their body to create life? Would they view it as the same as the right to end a pregnancy?<br><br>-How would the concept of consent change? We have a very patriarchal definition of consent, meaning that the way men consent to sex is seen as the default. How would people feel about having sex with someone whose anatomy they do not have? How would the lack of gender effect how people navigate sexual relationships? Would people be more or less sexually active?<br><br>-How would people view their body in the context of sex? We have very gendered expectations of what bodies should look like and how they should perform during sex, how would people view using their genitals and the rest of their body in ways that people with that anatomy don't in our world?<br><br>-How would people view sex work? They wouldn't have sexism or ableism to influence their views on prostitution. How would a lack of sexism effect how they view people who engage in sex work?<br><br>-How would people view self expression, fashion, and make up? What would they wear, would they wear make up?<br><br>-How would sports function? Would people be separated by body type? Would they just address body type and ability without separating teams by sex?<br><br>-How would people decide who raises the children? People view women and men as having different roles in raising a child so how would people navigate that when they're all the same gender?<br><br>-How would sexism function? Would people be more connected to each other? Would sexism just operate on a different axis like ableism or classism?<br><br>-How would they navigate the different health issues different anatomies have? How would people navigate the different health issues associated with different genitals and reproductive systems if they didn't have a gendered view of them?<br><br>-What would be the view on trans people? Would trans people be more or less accepted? Or would the view on trans people not be affected?<br><br>-How would people view interactions with people who have different body types? How would people view flirting and being attracted to someone who has a different anatomy than them?<br><br>-How would people view using products that are designed for a different anatomy than they have? Would people view tampons, pads, menstrual cups, binders, prosthetic genitals, etc as taboo if they didn't have the anatomy they were designed for?<br><br>-How would gendered food, toys, and games function? Would people eat foods designed for different anatomies and genders? Would they play with toys and games designed for different genders and anatomies?<br><br>-How would suicide rates function in a world without gender? How would a lack of gender effect how people view themselves? How would people view their mental health and how would sexism effect that in a world where they don't have a gendered view of sexism?<br><br>-What would be the view on body modifications? How would people navigate body modifications that are viewed as traditionally masculine or feminine in our world?<br><br>-How would body positivity function? How would people view body positivity movements if people didn't have a gendered view of bodies? How would people view their bodies without a gendered view of them?<br><br>-How would people navigate body dysmorphia? How would people view their bodies and navigate their dysmorphia without a gendered view of dysmorphia?<br><br>-How would people view intimate relationships? How would people view marriage? How would people navigate the different roles men and women in our world have in relationships? <br><br>-How would people view sex education? How would people teach sex education? How would people view the sex education system if they didn't have a gendered view of sex?<br><br>-How would people view sexual assault? How would people view consent? How would people navigate sexual assault cases if they didn't have a patriarchal definition of consent and assault?
