Gender Essentialism

Lifesite New reports that a study released just days ago in the British Journal of Developmental Psychology found that stories about ‘transgender children’ can manipulate children’s innate gender essentialist beliefs, showing that indoctrination is deliberate and effective. “Gender essentialism” according to The Oxford Reference dictionary is, quote, “the belief that males and females are born with distinctively different natures, determined biologically rather than culturally.”

Gender essentialism is what trans activists want to eradicate through both indoctrination and state coercion. The books used in this study, such as I Am Jazz and Red: A Crayon’s Story, are books that often show up in classrooms here and around the US. Students in public schools where these indoctrination tactics are used are being influenced. This is fact, not fiction.
