Blue's Clues Pride segment for preschoolers, featuring a trans beaver with mastectomy scars.
And before anyone says, "Nah, you're reading into this" --nope. That's exactly what they are. Image
Here's the whole segment. Resistance fist is an interesting touch on the drag queen's microphone.
Tiny tot gender identity indoctrination has been going on for years--didn't start with this Blue's Clues episode. To take but one example, Queer Kid Stuff has had a thriving video and social media presence for quite some time.

Gender surgeon Marci Bowers took to Instagram yesterday to complain hat her interview was relegated to the "overtime" clip on @60Minutes . Bowers, like other trans celebrities, doesn't seem to think detransitioners are important enough to be interviewed by major media outlets.
Not just any gender surgeon, Bowers is WPATH president-elect, a rather important and influential role.
Bowers was one of the surgeons consulted by Jazz Jennings and family.

There's been a lot of discussion about Dr. Olson-Kennedy in the last few days. For those who haven't read it, we covered her "pop tarts" workshop in 2017 (audio provided by a participant at the gender conference).
Here's the 7 minute audio clip wherein Olson-Kennedy explains in detail how she "just gave him [the 8-year-old "assigned female at birth"] the language" to understand she was actually a boy.

It's worth listening to in its entirety, especially for this:
Olson-Kennedy herself says that the 8-yr-old child was not expressing the desire to "be a boy." She had short hair and wore "boy's clothes", yes, but when the good doctor asked her "are you a boy or a girl", the girl stated she WAS a girl..."because of this body."

Johanna Olson-Kennedy, one of the most famous pediatric gender doctors in the world, posted 3 hours ago in the [public] International Transgender Health Facebook page that "so many of us worked hard to dissuade" @60Minutes from airing the show on detransition. @CBSNews
Presumably "us" refers to the community of "affirmative-care" gender clinicians. Why are these providers so hell-bent on suppressing information and personal experiences from people who did not benefit from their services?
Many such providers have given public lip service to "caring" about detransitioners in the past; but if they "care" why do they "work hard" to intimidate journalists who dare to interview them?

Jack Turban admits to pressuring @60Minutes and @CBSNews about last night's episode, evidently for the sin of allowing interviews with some detransitioners to be aired (less than 10 minutes airtime).
Honestly, who the hell does this? Goes out of their way to suppress and silence people? Has a detransitioner EVER make a "series of phone calls" to try to suppress media coverage of happy trans people?

A little trip down Memory Lane. In March, Jennifer Boylan, a prominent member of the trans community said @HRC was "on it" to influence producers of the @60Minutes program on detransition... Image
Boylan spilled the beans on Twitter that she was asked (but declined) to interview for the program...thereby alerting the activists who couldn't tolerate detransitioners being allowed the opportunity to tell their stories on a major news program. ImageImageImage
Last night, Boylan tweeted about the results of these efforts by a "hardworking group of LGBTQ advocates to pressure" @60Minutes ImageImage

The long-awaited @60Minutes segment featuring (in part) detransitioners airs tonight. Here's the 13+-minute segment.

Stick with it. The segment featuring interviews with detrans people is very good.

It's a start.
CBS released this backgrounder too. It's quite obvious how much activist pressure influenced the final production.
