Genderidentity

[Martin Pagh Goodwin]

I think what Sandro is proposing is *not* to put in "non-binary" children, but 
find a different way to make two groups, perhaps even one that easily expands to 
three or four groups, "for pedagogic reasons". They suggest color of clothes, 
I would perhaps say "with cap, hoodie, etc, or with some toy - football, 
bicycle, etc"

PS. Sorry to just barge in. Have been lurking in the list for about 18 years.
