American Girl produced a book titled “Body Image: How to love yourself, live to the fullest and celebrate all kinds of bodies.” Oddly, however, it includes advice on how to change one’s gender, even behind parents’ backs.
The children’s book, which is marketed to girls between the ages of three and five, reads: “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.” Sounds harmless. Of course, the authors make no mention of osteoporosis, nor any of the other psychological and physical risks that come from these experimental drugs. Later, the book details a list of activist groups for those children who “don’t have an adult you trust.”
This is not how to love yourself or “live to the fullest,” but how to make contact with strangers who will help you permanently disfigure yourself.
