NEW: The Michigan Department of Education instructed public school teachers how to facilitate child sexual transitions and recommended that teachers keep a child's "chosen name and pronouns" a secret from parents, even if the child is suicidal.

It's all on video. 🧵

The training program follows the basic narrative of radical gender theory: the presenters claim the West has created a false notion that “gender is binary” in order to oppress racial and sexual minorities. In response, teachers should work to “dismantle systems of oppression.”

Trainer Amorie Robinson, who says she is a “Black, masculine-identified, cisgendered lesbian” and uses the “African name” Kofi Adoma, says that gender is an infinite spectrum, including identities such as “genderfluid,” “genderqueer,” “butch,” “stud,” and “questioning.”

Next, Michigan Department of Education employee Kim Philips-Knope share a series of TikTok videos featuring minors and young adults exploring their sexual identity. One person identifies as "agender" and uses "she/her/they/them/he/him" pronouns.

In another video, the Michigan Department of Education promotes an individual who is “struggling with gender issues” and has started using breast binders and “they/them” pronouns. “I have never been happier with how my body looks.”

When a teacher asks how to respond to a student who claims to have “she/he/they/them” pronouns, the trainer responds adamantly: “Go with what the kid says. They’re the best experts on their lives. They’re the best experts on their own identities and their own bodies.”

Finally, the Michigan Department of Education instructs teachers how to facilitate child sexual transitions and recommends that they keep a child's “chosen name and pronouns” a secret from parents, even if the child is suicidal.
