Their culture isn't working in schools,

First, I want to start by saying, this is a boy,

ืจืืฉื™ืช, ืื ื™ ืจื•ืฆื” ืœื”ื’ื™ื“, ื–ื”ื• ื‘ืŸ,

and this is a girl,

ื•ื–ื•ื”ื™ ื‘ืช.
ื•ื–ื” ื‘ื•ื•ื“ืื™ ื”ืกื˜ืจื™ืื•ื˜ื™ืค
00:35
and this is probably stereotypically what you think of as a boy and a girl.

ืฉืœ ืžื” ืฉืืชื ื—ื•ืฉื‘ื™ื ืขืœ ื‘ืŸ ื•ื‘ืช.

If I essentialize gender for you today, then you can dismiss what I have to say.

00:45
This is a different kind of boy and a different kind of girl.
10

So the point here is that not all boys exist within these rigid boundaries

of what we think of as boys and girls,
12

and not all girls exist within those rigid boundaries

ื•ื”ื ืงื•ื“ื” ื”ื™ื ืฉืžื‘ื—ื™ื ืช ื”ื‘ื ื™ื,
