SCOOP: Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago has created a partnership with local public school districts to promote radical gender theory, “kink,” “BDSM,” artificial penis “packers,” “trans masc pump[s],” and “trans-friendly [sex] toys” for children.

Here's the story.🧵

According to a whistleblower, gender activists at Lurie Children’s Hospital and school administrators in at least four Chicago-area public school systems—Districts 75, 120, 181, and 204—have circulated a training document titled “Beyond Binary: Gender in Schools.”

The training follows the basic narrative of academic queer theory: white, Western society has created an oppressive gender binary, falsely dividing the world into the categories of man and woman, that has resulted in “transphobia,” “cissexism,” and “systemic discrimination.”

The presentation encourages public schools to support “gender diversity” in their districts, automatically “affirm” students who announce sexual transitions, and disrupt the “entrenched norms in western society” in order to create to a more “gender creative” world.

In a version of the presentation circulated to middle school and high school teachers and staff in District 75 and 120, Lurie Children's Hospital promoted a “Binder Exchange Program” to assist teenage girls in binding their breasts.

Next, Lurie Children's Hospital promoted a “kid friendly website for gender affirming gear,” which sells items such as artificial penis “packers,” female-to-male “trans masc pump[s],” and “stand to pee devices” for minors.

Next, Lurie Children’s Hospital promoted an “LGBTQ friendly sex shop for teens” that sells a range of “dildos,” “vibrators,” “harnesses,” “anal toys,” “trans-friendly toys,” and “kink & BDSM” equipment. The site includes graphic descriptions of sadomasochism and bondage.

Finally, Lurie Children’s Hospital published a school policy guide, encouraging districts to adopt a “gender-affirming approach” to the curriculum and to allow students sleep in bunks during overnight school trips in accordance with their “gender identity,” rather than their sex.
