      There's been a lot of talk about the UK organization Mermaids. But the US equivalent is Gender Spectrum, which if anything has even more influence on policy in the US (including conferences, school policy, and more). Zero coverage of this org outside our website (so far).https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1096132516187000832 …

      These resources are in the US too. Notice how the 1st part of the book is all about GNC behavior. This particular kid's book is all about gender fluidity yet foreshadows medical transition: "I don't want boobs," plants idea of "medication" to prevent them. https://www.genderspectrum.org/blog/gender-spectrum-story-time-staceys-not-a-girl/ …

      In this children's book "Stacey's not a girl," the narrator (a "natal" girl) talks about hating dresses and ... barrettes! This is just a variation on the Barbie/GI Joe theme pushed by Mermaids. https://www.genderspectrum.org/blog/gender-spectrum-story-time-staceys-not-a-girl/ …pic.twitter.com/y1dzKSr14h

          Most of our followers are familiar with the "barrettes" lecture by Diane Ehrensaft, a member of the Gender Spectrum board of directors.https://www.genderspectrum.org/our-board-of-directors/ …

          Ehrensaft was asked by a conference attendee how a preverbal child might indicate they're transgender. Eschewing barrettes (for a baby girl) or making a dress out of a onesie (for a baby boy) can be telltale signs, she says. https://vimeo.com/185149379

          The "nonbinary" trope is becoming more and more common with gender docs and psychologists, as well as organizations like Gender Spectrum, which has plenty of material on its slick website and YouTube channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-22q5PwKTs&feature=youtu.be …

          Gender dysphoria is no longer a requirement for cutting-edge identity medicine doctors. "Personal comfort" for nonbinaries is a good enough reason for hormonal/surgical body tinkering.

          "A touch of testosterone" for a nonbinary identity. "The children are leading us....I'm a boy-girl, I'm everything," enthuses Diane Ehrensaft, Director of Mental Health at UCSF's youth gender clinic (and member of Gender Spectrum's board of directors). https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/when-kids-come-in-saying-they-are-transgender-or-no-gender-these-doctors-try-to-help/2018/01/19/f635e5fa-dac0-11e7-a841-2066faf731ef_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.b8b348e8c6b0 …pic.twitter.com/GX9WhfASNu

          So if barettes are signifiers of femaleness, why isn't Mum wearing the blasted things?

          In fact, looking at other pictures in that book we see Stacey's mum wearing BLUE PANTS! Where is her sparkly pink dress??

          "It's not NOT about gender stereotypes," they all say. But let's make sure to churn out children's books, movies, and "trainings" geared to plant the idea in parents' and kids' heads that gender atypicality COULD mean their bodies are wrong. #WrongBodyism https://www.genderspectrum.org/blog/gender-spectrum-story-time-staceys-not-a-girl/ …pic.twitter.com/0jQ4GDq08R

          "And then my parents said oh of course, wear whatever you like, we're sorry!" and I carried on in peace. <--why isn't that, like, the ONLY answer...how could it possibly be "And then I realized I must actually be a boy!"
