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 …

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 …

How on earth did kids and their parents get by for thousands of years without the good people at Gender Spectrum teaching them how to parse & dice their every childhood behavior into intersecting identities? Minotaurs, Priuses, and "gender smoothies"! https://www.genderspectrum.org/blog/gender-spectrum-story-time-staceys-not-a-girl/ …pic.twitter.com/kTuSS6cOew

Replying to @4th_WaveNow
This is quite possibly the most bonkers thing I've seen since the transman teddy ready to read about gender to five year olds. Or possibly more so.

Makes Barbie and GI Joe look almost rational, eh?

It’s quite astonishing. Who is actually taking this sexist nonsense seriously?
