Entering a toy store reminds us that modern Western society is a binary one, with a strict split between girls and boys. There is a pink section for girls and a blue one for boys.

This computer application lets users play around with gender-assigning elements. Create your own gender by choosing masculine or feminine items, increase or reduce their feminine or masculine qualities, and explore the nuances.
