"Gender may mean less today than ever in history--in our society, at least--but it still means plenty. Boys and girls--and a whole newly vocal rainbow of gender variants in between--may be heading today toward the same bright future, but they continue to travel on a divided highway." (MACLEAN'S) The author examines the evolving role of gender in today's world, noting "Gender remains a bundle of contradictions. Lines are blurring any number of ways, in sports, in education, in careers. At the same time, scientists are citing ever more behavioural differences based on sex. Meanwhile, an ever-widening spectrum of gender identity is being celebrated as never before."
