Analysis of the Importance of Gender Identity Information and Sex Education in Social Media and School
Abstract
“Rose adolescents” are a group of people with different behaviors that differ from their biological gender identity. But few people in society pay attention to this group. This is inseparable from the role played by the media in communication and the education of sexual knowledge. Biased general cognition will harm this group physically and psychologically, leading to social problems, such as school bullying. They need to be understood by the public, and the physical and mental health of young people also need to be protected and given attention from multiple dimensions. So, the paper will use three theories related to gender, media, and diversity, analyzing public stereotypes of gender diversity and, the social impact behind it. How does the media play an essential role in guiding public comments? What can sex education do to help? In the end, the article believes that when mass media is widespread and biased in disseminating social information, the resulting erroneous or misleading information needs to be managed and guided by the press and the family, school, and society for the mental health of young people.
