From the Paper:

"From the first signs of gender, the conditioning begins from the ones we love most. From the cradle, girls wear pink, boys blue and both are taught what is and how to play her and his role. Family is defined according to each individual's unique situation. Beginning in this context, a person's sexual identity has either the opportunity to begin its creation and discovery healthfully, or at high risk of developing problems. Generally, a time comes for the talk about "the birds and the bees". Usually most young people await this important discussion with the utmost dread and trepidation. Too often this fear is due to the shame and embarrassment that can monopolize the conversation. "
