🚨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.

Last week, the American Psychological Association released a statement about Trump's EO on the biology of sex.
In a section titled "What the Science Says," the APA makes several embarrassingly false statements due to their blind commitment to sex pseudoscience.
THREAD 🧵
STATEMENT 1: "Sex is a biological characteristic determined by chromosome and reproductive anatomy."
This statement is reflective of profound ignorance regarding the distinction between how sex is developmentally DETERMINED and how it's DEFINED.
It's true that in humans sex is "determined by chromosomes," but that just means genes on certain chromosomes guide embryos down developmental pathways that will result in either a male or female. So, on its face, this statement seems all right.
But the fact that they included "reproductive anatomy" in how sex is determined reveals their muddled thinking. The development of certain reproductive anatomy that has the function to produce either sperm or ova is how sex is DEFINED, not how it's DETERMINED.
STATEMENT 2: "The assertion that only two sexes exist is not scientifically accurate."
Because sex is universally defined in terms of the type of gamete an individual has the biological function to produce, and there are only two types of gamete (sperm and ova), there are and can only be two sexes.
For there to be more than 2 sexes would require a distinct third gamete that a person can have the biological function to produce.
🚨NEW: Proponents of "gender-affirming care" assert that "trans" people have an opposite-sex brain, a belief shaped by a pervasive pseudoscientific narrative flooding culture, courts, and clinics.
Here, @NeuroSGS, @buttonslives, and I address this fatally flawed "research." 🧵
The “brain sex” myth isn’t just an academic debate, it’s a diagnosis from doctors pushing people toward medical transition.
Take Yarden Silveira. The belief that he had a “female brain” caused him to pursue transition, and complications likely caused him to take his own life.
Civil rights lawyers, activists, and researchers pursue this “brain sex” angle to ground “gender identity” in biology. This is a legal play, because U.S. law protects “innate” characteristics, giving this claim serious weight.
So I usually just quote the most ideological and insane sections of the woke papers I share here, but the abstract of this new paper is so unhinged that I'll let it speak for itself in full.
🚨The NCAA's "transgender" policy is a TROJAN HORSE!
While the new policy might appear reasonable at a glance, a closer look reveals a massive loophole that actually streamlines the process of allowing males to compete in women’s sports. 🧵...
First, the policy is steeped in gender ideology and deliberately avoids referencing objective biology. It defines “woman” as a “gender identity” rather than as an “adult human female”—the language of Trump's EO. Further, it defines “gender identity” circularly as “an individual’s own internal sense of their gender.”
Second, though the policy states that “a student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women’s team,” and that eligibility will be determined based on the sex “marked on [the athlete’s] birth records,” this standard is easily manipulated.
They're doubling-down on sex pseudoscience. This won't end well for them.
This article attempts to critique the new definitions of sex announced by the @HHSGov, yet the new HHS statement completely anticipated their critiques and makes them entirely irrelevant.
Thread 🧵...
Sex is all about gametes, or "reproductive cells." Other traits—which emerge during puberty—are considered "secondary sex characteristics" because they are a downstream effect of sex, not sex itself.
The "expert" cited here, Sam Sharpe, is a Ph.D. candidate at Kansas State University, and self-describes as “a trans and intersex person” who has “been involved in trans and intersex activism since 2016.” Sharpe has previously called for a “more inclusive understanding of sex diversity” and believes Lia Thomas (the male swimmer who won an NCAA Division I title in the women’s category) is being discriminated against for “failing to conform to expectations of cisnormative white femininity.”
Sharpe says that “biological sex is complex, variable, not fully understood, and definitely not a binary,” and has blamed the binary view of sex on “capitalism.”
Sharpe is an activist first, and a biologist second.
The article claims that the new definition of sex "leaves out people who carry genetic variants and don't make any reproductive cells, or gametes."
This is 100% FALSE.
The new HHS statement (right) explicitly explains that "having the biological function to produce eggs or sperm does not require that eggs or sperm are ever produced" and covers cases where "males and females may not or may no longer produce eggs or sperm due to factors such as age, congenital disorders or other developmental conditions, injury, or medical conditions that cause infertility."
They're choosing to ignore the substance of the document.
🚨ALERT: On Day 1, Trump signed an executive order affirming the reality that sex is binary, immutable, and based on gametes—not “gender identity.”
However, protecting women’s rights requires not only acknowledging biological reality but also PREVENTING EFFORTS TO HIDE IT. 🧵
Right now, 44 states allow their residents to amend their birth certificate's sex marker. Fifteen states will even issue NEW birth certificates without any indication that a change has been made, and all records linked to the original are sealed, accessible only by court order.
⚠️Such efforts to conceal biological reality must not be allowed!⚠️
To actually defend women's rights, we need an additional executive order banning amendments to sex markers on birth certificates, at least for national purposes.
