I know that's unthinkable in a patriarchal society, but I've been thinking about it for 25 years, so maybe now I can talk about it.
Most of us have heard of that famous university experiment where they took a diapered infant and handed it to people saying it was female, and the infant was treated quite differently than when they handed the same infant to people saying that it was male--and when they gave no indication people were at a loss and tried to peek under the diaper!
So just imagine that we dress babies alike and gave them unisex names. Of course secondary sexual characteristics would appear around puberty, but by then kids have already learned how to interact with others and gained what self-esteem they're allowed.
We'd have to use the traditionally inclusive pronouns for all children, of course, because we wouldn't be able to differentiate on the basis of sex in order to assign them separate and different pronouns. So kids wouldn't have to be divided into two teams at birth and could grow up treating each other as individuals.
And if we couldn't differentiate, as Prof. Gerda Lerner has pointed out, we wouldn't be able to discriminate. We wouldn't be able to force kids into artificial gender roles, but would have to let them act and develop naturally. Schools would have to have 1-person toilets instead of public locker room type bathrooms.
There are lots of ramifications, but as I say, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Patriarchal societies begin to enforce patriarchal values from the moment of birth, so when as adults we say that we prefer something, we've forgotten that we weren't given a choice as infants and therefore we don't know what we'd have preferred if we'd actually had that choice.
