Question 1: How do you feel about Germany's third gender option?
We decided to conduct a survey to gauge people's reactions to certain hot-button gender issues. In this survey we asked 22 males and females from the ages of 15 to 55 what they thought about Germany’s third gender option, stay-at-home mom and dads, and blue and pink gender stereotypes. As a whole we found that a majority opposed Germany’s third gender option, supported stay-home mom and dads, and opposed the stereotypes of pink being for girls and blue being for boys. We then took the data and grouped it into two categories: the 32 and older group and the 31 and younger group. We found that when asking these questions, a majority of the 33 and older group opposed stay home mom and dad’s compared to people who were under 33. It is interesting to note that most of 33 and older group were parents and have gone through different experiences compared to the 33 and younger group. It would be interesting if we could follow up with everyone who was 33 and younger, and asked them this question after they raised any potential kids to see if their answer changed. There was no other significant correlation between the two other questions and the age categories.
