American Girl Promotes Puberty Blockers, Gender Transitioning To Kids 3-12 In New Book

Well, there goes that little piece of childhood joy. The American Girl company was a nostalgic and beloved toy brand. And they don’t just offer dolls. They also publish sweet and inspirational stories about little girls, and even provide emotional and physical information about girlhood and emerging womanhood. But now they’ve crossed a line. They’ve gone full blown radical leftist woke. They’ve published a 96 page book called ‘A Smart Girl’s Guide: Body Image,’ intended for girls ages 3-12, in which they push radical woke gender theory including gender fluidity, puberty blockers, and even lying to parents about gender transitioning.

The cover describes the book as a guide for “how to love yourself, live life to the fullest, and celebrate all kinds of bodies.” One passage explains,

“If you haven’t gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body’s changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.”

That’s actually medical misinformation because that’s not really how it works. Those puberty blockers they’re promoting aren’t just an easy and consequence-free pause button on puberty. They do real damage to developing bodies and it’s dangerous to mislead kids into thinking their doctor can just prescribe a quick, no-big-deal pill for something so consequential. It also sets up completely unrealistic expectations for medical intervention generally, but also specifically regarding gender confusion.

Another part of the book provides a list of people to whom young gender-confused girls can turn “if you don’t have an adult you trust.” Translation: If you want to keep this all a secret from your parents, here’s who will help you lie to them about the permanent psychological and physical damage you want to do to yourself.

Another page of the book informs young girls,

“The way you show your gender to the world through clothes and behavior is your gender expression. your gender expression can be feminine, masculine, or somewhere in between–and it might change! Maybe you’ll experiment with bright dresses and long, feminine hairstyles. Or you might try baggy shorts, plaid shirts, and a buzzed haircut. Your gender expression should make you feel at home in your body.”

Wow, talk about stereotyping. Can you imagine if every girl who ever wore baggy shorts and plaid shirts was convinced that they were transgender and pressured into cutting off their breasts? And yet, that’s exactly what they’re leading 3-12 year old girls to believe. Tomboys everywhere are grateful they weren’t led to believe this absolute malarkey.

On the page about being transgender, they declare that “being transgender is not an illness or something to be ashamed of.” There are professionals who would disagree with this and say that it certainly is connected to mental illness, so this is at least somewhat misleading in that they cherrypick the medical information they choose to present to these impressionable girls. They then introduce girls to things like gender non-conforming pronouns and the idea that if “parts of your body might make you feel uncomfortable” then you can just “change the way you look.” Newsflash— young prepubescent and pubescent girls ALWAYS feel uncomfortable with parts of their bodies, and that’s completely normal and doesn’t mean you’re trans and need to cut off your breasts to make you feel more comfortable in your body! It means you’re a normal human girl! They encourage girls to “do things that make your body feel more like home” if you are “feeling out of place in your body.”

All this from a company that many parents may not even realize they need to be concerned about. But parents, please realize, you now need to be concerned about EVERYTHING. Nothing is safe from radical woke leftism. You cannot be complacent. You cannot let your guard down.
