I translated it to english from swedish using google translate.

"Until we actually luciafirnadet wrote about" A confectioner "," He "was instead to" Hen "

At pre Egalia are all buddies.

No one is a girl or boy. She and he often becomes her.

- We do not conceal that there are different gender. But a child should not be placed in a compartment on the basis of their biological sex, "says Gabriella Martinson, director.

Backs of the children's binder in the staff room is in rainbow colors. On Egalia in Stockholm has nothing left to chance - or to the routine.

- We have started from an idea of equality. It's in everything we do, everything we say, everything we buy, the whole being and thinking, "says Lotta Rajalin.

She is head of the six pre-schools in Stockholm and has worked on gender education even before Egalia opened its doors in May 2010.

Gabriella Martinson's Kindergarten teacher and principal teacher at Egalia.

- The difference is that this is gender equality and our basic education, just as some have Montessori teaching as a basis. It is not only a subject, "she says.
Rejects traditional books

The playroom is a stove, toaster and a shopping cart in light wood. The bookshop is all the titles carefully selected.

- We like to choose books with single parents or same-sex parents, "says Gabriella Martinson.

The goal is to offer diversity. But when you have to choose, it is the most traditional books that are rejected.

- Straight Family books, they still everywhere. It may seem exaggerated, but we must always be a counterweight to a gender-segregated and conservative society.
"Do all the possibilities"

The dark-skinned rag dolls are exactly alike - except for one detail: the genitals.

- We do not want to remove the biological sex. It is the social sex, we are working with, "says Lotta Rajalin.

And the most important thing is how adults relate to children. Research shows that sex determines the standard of conduct a child - even as a crying infant.

- We believe that we are free, but when we suggest something, it's almost always something in the gender category. And most of the joints in the gender roles imposed on them. But there are those who can not. And no one feels bad to get all the possibilities, "says Gabriella Martinson.

Therefore, language is so important at Egalia. The gender-typing words that boys and girls are not used.

- We do not say "Let's all Swedes play with this". Why then should we divide by gender? Sure, children have preferences - but is not related to biological sex, "says Gabriella Martinson.

Instead, it uses the first name, "buddy" or "person".

- But we never informs the kids, they never make errors, they do what they have learned, "says Lotta Rajalin.

"She" and "he" is not banned but are interspersed with the gender neutral "hen".

- The Lucia celebration we actually wrote on a "confectioner". "He" became "hen," said Gabriella Martinson.

Why is it so important?

- Because there always is a he. He is the norm and the start of the children singing. Every cow and squirrel is a he, unless otherwise stated. And when a thing to normalize, then it is something that is abnormal.

Implemented Owns Do you ever?

- Sure we make mistakes sometimes. I say sometimes "little sweetie" or "little man". And "refuse collection" I find it hard to get used to at, "says Lotta Rajalin.

Will there be a culture shock when these kids grow up?

- It is a common objection. But we'll start with something bad right now - just because it gets worse then? Though it certainly is a problem that the school lags behind, "says Gabriella Martinson.

- We believe that they will be strong when they come out. The fact that we give them is a treasure to expand, says Lotta Rajalin.

Opens a new department in our

Egalia in Stockholm is a municipal nursery school with a gender and equality as basic education.

It is a long waiting list for places and the spring expands preschool with another department.

Egalia is also in the spring of LGBT certified by RFSL, National Association for Sexual Equality.

Sweden is fucked up no doubt. This is just depressing.
