1. THREAD. Queer Kid Stuff outdoes itself.

Our followers may have seen our threads & articles about this YouTube channel for preschoolers. Creator Lindsay Amer & her "nonbinary" Teddybear sidekick cover topics like pronoun etiquette for tots in vids set to whimsical uke music.

2. This article covers one of Amer's videos from 2016, in which Teddy learns to always ask people for their pronouns, since you never can tell what their gender identity might be.

3. On 24 March this year, Amer welcomed (of all people) Riley Dennis on to QKS to talk about transitioning--a topic every 3 year old surely needs to learn about.

4. Riley Dennis teaches Teddy and the QKS viewing audience (presumably little tykes and--maybe?--their parents) about "top" and "bottom" surgery some adult "trans and nonbinary people" undergo.

5. Riley Dennis, for the uninitiated, is an MTF YouTube star who claims to be a lesbian (among other assertions). At the end of the QKS video, Lindsay Amer encourages her tiny-tot followers to watch Dennis' channel, which is definitely not oriented toward children (or is it?)

6. Also discussed by Riley Dennis on the 24 March Queer Kid Stuff video is transitioning for kids--in particular, hormone blockers to "stop estrogen or testosterone." In what is obviously supposed to be a cutesy-funny moment, Teddy has trouble pronouncing "testosterone."

7. Why, exactly, does Lindsay Amer think it's a good idea to invite Riley Dennis to plant the idea in a 3-year-old's head that kids might need to transition?

8. And why does the US organization Gender Spectrum heavily promote Queer Kid Stuff?

9. And why does Joe Biden's @bidenfoundation partner with Gender Spectrum (and by association) Queer Kid Stuff?

10. Some Queer Kid Stuff videos are funded by @glaad . How did this organization morph from advocacy for the civil rights of gay and lesbian adults to promoting "educational" vids to very small children about gender transition?

11. So here's the complete Queer Kid Stuff vid with guest star Riley Dennis.

Because evidently you're never too young to learn about genital surgery and hormones--even if you're too young to pronounce "testosterone" correctly.

8a. Interestingly, the playlist for QKS is now scrubbed from the Gender Spectrum YouTube channel, though they make reference to it at this link: facebook.com/GenderSpectrum…

The screen cap shows the Gender Spectrum FB page praising QKS toddler education.

8b. "Kids as young as 3 can understand gender identity, as long as you're explaining it well," says Lindz Amer, who hosts a YouTube show called Queer Kid Stuff."
