Results of the study yielded rich data detailing how educational attainment can broaden one's perspective about gender-related issues and thus makes one more sensitive to their gendered experiences with gender nonconforming individuals. This can impede chances and instances that might lead to sexism and gender discrimination. As implied, persistent efforts in educating people about sex and gender can effectively deal with lowering related aggression and violence in academic and related communities.
