USA is now dealing with the onslaught of homogeneous pronouns to define gender (or lack thereof). I identified this in Norway, Iceland and Sweden back in 2012 as something that would appear in the states. It did...in a wave.
Another social concept that made it's way to the USA was the gender-neutral bathrooms. I'm split on this concept (in Northern Europe, they are labeled simply "Bathroom" which I have no problem with. They don't often display several gender symbols like they do here, which I DO have a problem with as it is contrary to several social-equality concepts and alienates those cultures that observe values requiring them to be separated, including Muslims and more Fundamental Christians).
The next movement that is now occurring in Scandinavia? It will come here very soon...if not already: The concept of having any sexual preference at all towards a gender or race is now outdated and discriminatory. It is concept growing with the youth in Sweden and Norway especially. Having ANY sexual preference towards a particular gender/race is increasingly shunned and not inclusive. So, here is the scenario:
Gay man approaches a straight man and asks him out on a date. Straight man refuses on the basis of preferring Vagina, no other reason. This is now being considered discrimination.
You heard it here first...get ready for the craziness. Stock up on the Playboys. Wait, those are no longer nude. Internet?
