Looking at all these, I always have a question in my mind what if there were never any genders to start with. Honestly being a female, I face a lot of comments and unwanted behaviour on daily basis and I ask myself why doesn’t all this happen to man, but if there were no defined genders to being with then also would all people face the unwanted treatment, they face for being simply what they are?

I read in History once that when a civilization started, a community used get formed when people came together and so that all living beings livid in a structured manner gradually categories were created, their duties in the society were defined and rules were set on them. Over the years as per western and eastern civilizations theses norms and rules either modified or were changed but for males and females. What about the rest?

Why were they never considered? we know from many historic stories about the existence of other genders but then why things were hushed about them? There are endless why and endless fights for all theses differences that have now become a deep rooted idea in our everyday life.

Now imagine if the civilization never divided the people into 2 categories and just had simple norms of living, people had the freedom to choose what they were and simply lived that way. would this have changed the way one treats the other? Children might fight less with their parents trying hard for them to accept them, or parents would not reject their own children and just let them be. People would not look at each other differently but normally and maybe mental health issues would also decrease.

The fight for gender equality might still be there as society consists of both good and bad but the huge gap created between the people by the people that now appears to be like a huge gap between two cliffs may actually could have been like a thin line between two states.

What a beautiful world it would have been where everyone expressed their true self and their love instead of fighting for it, humanity would have been everyone’s nature instead of need and there would be lesser children away from their families.

Would you like to be a part of such a world?
