Swedish pre-school fights gender bias

I'm not sure about the whole removal of gender pronouns. They don't appear to be putting transgender or genderqueer concepts into the program (that'd probably be a bit complicated for three-year-olds), so it seems like something that might backfire or at least limit the efficacy of the overall lessons they're trying to teach.  The idea is to promote equality; maybe there's some study somewhere to refute this, but I would think teaching "boys and girls are inherently equal" would be more likely to hold going forward than "there are no boys or girls, just people."
