Is it possible to satisfy children's curiosity about gender in a binary society? A retrospective autoethnography of educational discomfort

The contribution aims to explore whether and how it is possible to indulge children's on-gender curiosity in a binary and heteronormative society. From a theoretical perspective, the contribution draws on those theoretical approaches that, in questioning gender role models, propose the plurality of adult figures as a means of deconstructing stereotypical gender roles. From a methodological point of view, this is an experimental qualitative research, mainly carried out with a reflexive approach inspired to autoethnography. Autoethnographic events are considered ex-post in order to highlight both some rising problems for a non binary gender education, and related countermeasures,and the difficulty of making synthesis between my professional expertise on the subject, the existing literature and the sense of displacement when not discomfort in proposing a non-binary educational approach to gender in a society expressly so.
