A University of Minnesota project to create “therapeutic” transgender dolls for children as young as 4 is officially launching this year.
However, the project continues to face criticism from medical leaders, as well as questions about whether public funding is involved.
“Join the waitlist” and “Launching in 2026,” the MyGender Dolls website tells visitors.
“Grounded in gender-affirming clinical practices,” the dolls will be a “therapeutic” resource for clinicians and educators who work with children ages 4-10, it states.
The new website only includes a few details about the dolls, a years-long project by faculty at the university’s Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health. Some of the links on the site are not working yet, but there is a “waitlist” form that people can fill out “to be kept up to date about the MyGender Dolls.”
The College Fix contacted the email address listed on the website and the project organizers via email on July 2 and 5, asking for information about the product and launch date. No one responded.
Previously, the university had a webpage dedicated to the project, but it was removed at some point after The College Fix first reported on it in December 2024.
According to the page, MyGender Dolls mimic classic paper dolls, featuring drawings of children of different ages, shapes, and skin colors to represent “all” kids. Children will be able to choose different internal and external genitals, clothes, and other accessories to help them “visualize their anatomy and genders,” the page stated.
Trans is somewhat different from LGB.
ReplyDeleteThe social justice ideology propelling trans and LGB advocacy is fundamentally the same, which should be easy to recognize just by the fact that trans normalization was promoted by the same people and followed immediately on the heels of gay normalization. Andrew Sullivan, the leading gay marriage advocate who wrote "Virtually Normal," unsurprisingly advocates trans normalization as well.
You may think it matters that you can conceptually distinguish these things from each other, but it doesn't matter on a practical level. They are both a revolt against nature and our instinctive ability to identify behaviors that are sick and evil. First they insist that you stop noticing there's something "off" about men who want to have sex with men. Then they insist you pretend that men pretending to be women are mentally healthy. And it won't stop with trans, it will just get crazier.
It's surprising that this has to be explained to someone who wrote about NAMBLA's ubiquitous presence at gay pride marches (until that got notched back for PR reasons).
I agree these are related issues but are distinguishable by reversibility. A friend was a gay man who ran a bathhouse. He went back to college. He and a lesbian fell in love and got married. Is he still gay? Is she still lesbian? Orientation is not fixed. People do change. There is not much that can be done after mutilation.
