🚨A new study explored the most effective way to brainwash children into accepting gender ideology.
Researchers had kids watch either a story video of Jazz Jennings, who is said to have "a girl brain but boy body," or of a marker named Blue who has "a blue inside but a red outside."
They found that "a direct, realistic story was the only effective means of teaching children about transgender identities and reducing the belief in gender immutability."
These are some excerpts from the scripts of the story videos with screenshots. The stories are nearly identical except for "boy" and "girl" in Jazz's story being replaced with "red" and "blue" for Blue's the marker's story.
The videos were stopped periodically to ask the children 3 questions about the video they were watching:
▫️What is different about Jazz/Blue?
▫️Why is Jazz/Blue sad?
▫️Why is Jazz/Blue happy?
Regardless of the child's response, the researchers responded with set answers ⬇️
The researchers acknowledge that their "findings were generally modest," but claim that "a more powerful manipulation," such as "a longer story" and "repeated readings of the story"—especially by someone familiar to the child—"may show stronger effects."
They are literally testing how to most effectively indoctrinate young children into the gender cult. Don't be surprised if we see these tactics implemented in public schools.
Also, this study is part of the first author's PhD dissertation. Yes, people are literally getting PhDs in how to indoctrinate your kids into gender ideology.

I demand an explanation from the @NIH and @genome_gov as to why I was just kicked out of their public event "Exploring the many dimensions of sex and gender in the genomics era," which I had registered for in advance and was quietly attending.
About 20 minutes into Dr. Tucker Pyle's session titled "Sex and Gender in the Clinic," a window popped up stating, "The host has removed you from the webinar."
When I tried to rejoin the webinar, I was told I could not rejoin.
According to the event description, this is a "public two-day National Institutes of Health (NIH) symposium" that "brings together experts from the biological and social sciences to clarify and contextualize – but not resolve - the complexities around sex, gender, and genomics by considering them in their scientific, ethical, and historical contexts."
I was not disruptive and could not have been, even if I had wanted to, because the webinar was view-only. I did not submit any questions in the Q&A chat window either. I was just quietly watching.
I signed up for the webinar because, as a scientist involved in influencing policy on sex and gender, I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of how these concepts are being applied in medicine and genomics. If anyone should be attending this event, it's me.
The event claims to be an "interdisciplinary conversation," yet the speaker lineup consists entirely of ideologically aligned sex and gender activists who promote radical and pseudoscientific views of sex and gender.
Additionally, @TomasBogardus, an academic who has also voiced dissent from activist orthodoxy on sex and gender issues, was removed from the event around the same time I was.
This is completely unacceptable.
I demand that Eric D. Green (@NHGRI_Director), the director of the @genome_gov at the @NIH, who gave the opening remarks, explain why Dr. Bogardus and I were kicked out of the event.
I wrote about this event shortly after it was announced in May. See my article below for the details. city-journal.org/article/nih-ho…
After emailing the Communications Director, I was told that they did not know why I was removed. I am suddenly now able to rejoin the webinar. 🤔
Racial "inequity" is literally measured, according to DEI ideology, by the magnitude of disparate outcomes between racial groups in any given context. This idea forms the foundation of Kendi's and other DEI proponents' entire worldview. They are explicit about this. To achieve racial "equity" therefore entails eliminating those group outcome disparities. Achieving equity is synonymous with achieving equal outcomes.
Mark is absurdly naive if he does not understand this yet.
I literally clicked on the first result of a Google search for "racial equity" and got this
🔗raceforward.org/what-racial-eq…
Second Google search result:
🔗
"This site defines racial equity as 'the condition that would be achieved if one's racial identity no longer predicted, in a statistical sense, how one fares.'"
Kareem is forwarding what is essentially a "racism of the gaps" argument. It's everywhere we don't look and don't understand. As soon as you look for it in a specific place and don't find it to be predictive of outcomes, it suddenly moves to a new obscure location.
"You can't control for education, because education is racist!"
Okay, then demonstrate the effects of racism in education. Oh, we didn't find any when we controlled for hours spent studying.
"You can't control for hours spent studying, because racism is responsible for disparities in hours spent studying!"
Round and round we go in the CRT carousel.
The woke view of racism is something similar to (but much stupider than) Dark Energy in physics. It can't be viewed directly, but it's assumed to exist because they see its effects.
They've convinced themselves they see its effects because they're committed to the nonsensical idea that the existence of group disparities can only be explained by racism.
The idea that the "accountability culture people weren't defending firings" and that conservatives were just "complaining about not being liked" is a COMPLETE lie.
🧵Let's take a trip down memory lane to 2020 when activists tried to destroy my career...
In 2020 I was a postdoc at Penn State with a soon-expiring contract. I was job hunting for tenure track professorships.
I posted the following tweet (left) citing the well-known "social contagion" hypothesis by Lisa Littman in her work on ROGD. See Littman's paper on the right.
The "accountability culture people" thought this tweet was cancel-worthy and attempted to spread word of my "vile transphobia" to my colleagues, even tagging diversity organizations in my field.
"Colin is on the job market. I hope the EEB community is paying attention."
🚨BREAKING: The American Anthropological Association the Canadian Anthropology Society have cancelled the panel "Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology" scheduled to take place at their annual conference.
The reasons given for the cancellation was that the panel conflicted with their values, compromised "the safety and dignity of our members," and diminished the program's "scientific integrity."
They claimed the ideas the panel was planning to advance (i.e., sex is a real and scientifically important biological variable) would "cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large."
The AAA and CASCA have vowed to "undertake a major review of the processes associated with vetting sessions at our annual meetings" to ensure that such discussion panels about the reality and importance of sex will not be approved in the future.
The panelists responded to the sudden cancellation of the scheduled panel discussion, expressing their disappointment that the AAA and CASCA "have chosen to forbid scholarly dialogue" on this topic.
They also firmly rejected the "false accusation" that "to support the continued use of biological sex categories (e.g., male and female; man and woman) is to imperil the safety of the LGBTQI community."
The panelists say the suggestion that the panel would compromise “…the scientific integrity of the programme” is "particularly egregious," noting that, on the contrary, "the decision to anathematize our panel looks very much like an anti-science response to a politicized lobbying campaign."
Finally, the panelists claimed that the AAA's and CASCA's attempt to chill future debate on this topic represents a "declaration of war on dissent and on scholarly controversy" and a "profound betrayal of their stated commitment to "advancing human understanding and applying this understanding to the world's most pressing problems."
Below is the program entry for the now cancelled panel.
NEW YORK TIMES: "Pediatric gender medicine is a nascent specialty, and few studies have tracked how patients fare in the long term, making it difficult for doctors to judge who is likely to benefit."
TRANSLATION: Hormonally and surgically transitioning children is completely experimental, and claims that such interventions are "life-saving" are not based on any reliable data.
"And conservative lawmakers in more than 20 states have taken the draconian step of banning or severely restricting gender treatments for minors."
Apparently it's the laws putting age limits on irreversible and often sterilizing hormones and surgeries that are "draconian," not the procedures themselves that, as the author admits, have no evidence of benefit. Right...
"It’s clear the St. Louis clinic benefited many adolescents: Eighteen patients and parents said that their experiences there were overwhelmingly positive..."
That's not how evidence-base medicine works. Given the lack of long-term outcome data and properly controlled experiments, which the author fully acknowledges, it is impossible to know whether the "positive" outcomes were a direct result of "gender-affirming care."
This is a classic post hoc, ergo propter hoc (after this, therefore resulting from it) fallacy.
