Agree. -add on, by people inspired by her, and people like her or involved in initiatives.

I think the concept will be difficult and strange to understand- either because the idea of gender is ambiguous or changes as often as they like subtly/etc ...or for the sideways perspective(?) - that its not relevant, so the idea that people could be treated badly or better based off of behavioural characteristics that were somehow linked to a biological sex that sometimes but wasn't always/really 100% lined up with in terms of gender...strange.
