Indigos and Crystals—Blurring the Gender Lines

If you look at Indigo boys and girls, between the ages of 14 and 25, what do you see? Do you notice any big differences between the males and females? Not really. The boys may have long or short hair and wear t-shirts and baggy pants that ride their hips. And the girls may have long or short hair and wear t-shirts and baggy pants that ride on their hips. There was a time that the Indigo parents can remember, when girls and boys dressed very differently from each other. Girls wore dresses, had their hair ‘done’ and wore makeup. They were taught to be ‘ladylike’ and to act like girls. Well, those days are gone. And that’s probably a good thing because girls now have the freedom to dress as they please.

But what is interesting about the way that Indigos dress is that the gender lines are blurring. Girls are no longer under pressure to look like ‘girls’ and wear dresses or skirts. Now they can choose what they want to wear. I remember when I was growing up, girls had to wear dresses or skirts to school. On cold, snowy days we could wear pants, but only under our dresses and we had to take the pants off as soon as we got to school. I always thought that was unfair, after all, boys could wear pants. Those kinds of strict gender distinctions are gone, thankfully, mainly because Indigos have insisted on wearing what they want to wear and their parents eventually had to give in. During the past ten years, this more casual attitude about dress has crept into the corporate culture as well. Many companies today have a casual dress code, which would have been unheard of more than ten years ago. And yet, it is acceptable and practiced widely today.

The way that girls and boys behave around each other is changing too and they often act more like friends than becoming involved in one-on-one dating relationships. Perhaps it is because Indigos tend to be less interested in committed relationships, but it is also because they are less about appearances and more about socializing. Dressing alike creates a sense of acceptance between boys and girls, which is typical of the Indigo energy. They are very accepting of everyone on an equal basis and are unconcerned with looking for differences in others. For them, races, genders and cultures are all alike. They embody the ‘one-ness’ that the Shift is bringing to the planet.

We can learn much from the Indigo children and in fact, we already have. The relaxing of the attitudes between genders, the blurring of the lines of separation will serve to help us see each other in different ways, focusing on the inner being instead of the outward appearance. Of course, this is not true of everyone everywhere, but the changes are happening slowly and once they are in place, there is no going back to the way things were. The Shift energy is being embraced in many different ways, but it is making progress and we can see examples of that progress all around us. For that, we have the Indigo to thank, as we move forward to creating a global culture in which all are honored and treated with dignity and respect, and all are recognized as being One.
