Indoctrinating Children With MyGender Dolls

The University of Minnesota, a public university, has a project called MyGender Dolls. The dolls are the brainchild of a department that is euphemistically named, “National Center for Gender Spectrum Health.” Their latest venture, the dolls, are aimed at children between the ages of five and ten. Not only do these dolls have detailed genitalia, but they have genitalia that is swappable, so that the children can “explore their gender options”. The dolls likewise have swappable internal sexual organs. The fundraising video for the project can be watched below:

When most of us were children, dolls did not have any genitalia, because having kids play with sexual organs is disturbing and inappropriate. In fact, we have long since known that exposing children to sexual concepts at young ages was dangerous. It makes them more vulnerable to predators, which is why pedophiles begin their process of grooming by exposing children to images and concepts that are not age-appropriate. This is called the hypersexualization of children. When children are desensitized to such things, they are susceptible to pedophilic enticements because they no longer realize that they are inappropriate.

Therapist Elizabeth Panetta, who is affiliated with this diabolical project, was quoted on their website as saying, “We also were able to talk about private parts without it feeling too serious or clinical.” Nobody seems to be asking if it is a good idea to normalize children talking with non-parents about their “private parts”. Of course, we already know the answer, and we have for decades.

Psychologist Dianne Berg, who is listed on the university’s website as the co-director of the National Center for Gender Spectrum Health, stated in an interview for the school, “I think everyone should be learning that there’s diversity in gender identity and that what makes you ‘real’ is not what your body parts are, but how you think and feel.”

If physicalities do not inform our understanding of reality, then we have a real problem. As a basis of philosophical thought, this is a catastrophic error. How would we evaluate any thesis, if nothing is subject to an objective analysis—if reality as the rest of us can measure it does not matter? Further, if our thoughts and feelings must dictate reality, even when confronted by evidence that contradicts our worldview, how should we apply this to the mentally ill? Should we accept their delusions as more ‘real’, because their fantasies emerge from their thoughts and emotions?

This is not a merely facetious argument. Transgenderism is simply a modern word for the long-standing mental illness of gender dysphoria, along with several related conditions that stem from what we might colloquially call an identity crisis. At root, the person does not accept who they are, which is the source of their distress. A decent therapist would work to remedy that mental torment, instead of encouraging the mutilation of their patient’s reproductive organs.

If we begin to see people’s thoughts and feelings as indicative of their personal value, as what makes them real, this too would affect our end-of-life care. Those who are unconscious, unable to communicate, or in some way unable to think clearly would be subject to termination. It’s too easy to dismiss such concerns as ludicrous, until one looks at the state of medical ethics today, wherein ‘civilized’ countries like Canada are assisting in the suicides of those who are struggling with depression. They are engaging in the murder of the mentally ill under the auspices of an ideology that proclaims that it is rational to agree with a clinically depressed person’s statement that “life won’t get better”, and lend aid to their “solution”.

This philosophy of encouraging people’s feelings, even when they’re self-destructive and bad for greater society, is what leads so-called ‘harm reduction’ advocates to create youth-focused meth pipes in Valentine’s Day packaging:

Attempting to deny that which we can see and prove, to deny our senses and our reason, will condemn us to a future of such unintelligibility and consequent vapid apathy that none of us would wish to live in it. It consigns the children of today to the indoctrination of sex-shifting dolls and the institutionalized encouragement of mutilation.
