Formerly Known as Male and Female
Greg Morse writes about the tragedy that is the “gender unicorn.” “My generation grew up with a purple dinosaur, singing, ‘I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family.’ This generation is growing up with a sexualized purple unicorn, singing similar lyrics with much different meaning.
