Gender conditioning falls under the category of mind control (also known as brainwashing, coercive persuasion, thought control, or thought reform) is an indoctrination process which results in "an impairment of autonomy, an inability to think independently, and a disruption of beliefs and affiliations. In this context, brainwashing refers to the involuntary education of basic beliefs and values" The term has been applied to any tactic, psychological or otherwise, which can be seen as subverting an individual's sense of control over their own thinking, behaviour, emotions or decision making.
And as in my case, this conditioned state didn't occur to me until I achieved a self actualisation process as a mature woman.
It can begin when the sex of the unborn baby is determined and announced- 'It's a girl!' Who suddenly becomes 'Everyone's princess'. Then, more often than not, the onslaught of PINK begins - Pink clothes,pink nursery,pink toys,pink balloons and flowers,pink ribbons and bows..Pink EVERYTHING.
It seems that PINK defines the child, purely because of her sex. And not for her personality,character,attributes,interests,intelligence,talents etc. These are the things that really define a human being. A baby, whatever sex- Should begin life in a neutral world, full of love,nurture,education and choices.
