Neither girl nor boy, “Forbidden Zone” investigates the new genre of Generation Z

The magazine ” Restricted zone “ presented by Ophelia Meunier offers, Sunday January 10 at 9:05 pm, a new topic on the freedom to say who we are and who we are not.

At a time when more and more young people say they are neutral, gender fluid, agenre or non-binary, Zone interdite, M6’s social magazine, poses the question of the origins and expansion of the phenomenon.

One in five young people in doubt

Chloe, 21, is about to make her social transition. “Gender, I see it as a spectrum, with the masculine on one side, the feminine on the other, and each has its own little cursor. Mine oscillates from feminine to neutral, without ever going to masculine, without ever being exclusively feminine, ”she tries to explain to her 84-year-old grandmother, who despite all her good will does not understand. obviously nothing. First interlocutor of this new investigation of the Forbidden Zone, Chloé, soon to be renamed Cami, is the very demonstration of a phenomenon which touches the most intimate as well as the whole of society, which concerns nearly one in five young people today. , and which, after years of struggle, no longer seems a taboo.

A generation that loves transgression

Non-binary, androgynous, gender fluid, agenre, neuter … Generation Z – all individuals born between 1990 and 2010 -, lover of transgression, enamored of freedoms, obviously wonders about physiological, structural belonging and societal to a genre. She breaks taboos, assumes her psychic bisexuality, breaks codes, asserts herself and has fun. In a world where individual freedoms are increasingly contested for the common good, it is possible that she finds an interesting escape, why not even a raison d’être. “Just because I have a penis doesn’t mean I have to dress like a boy, and just because I wear makeup doesn’t mean I won’t be a dad one day,” said the teenager.

The phenomenon is growing. Is it a fashion, launched in France by the singer Bilal Hassani or the young influencer Fabian and relayed by the brands who see it as a bonanza of money? Forbidden Zone asks all these questions.
