In one case, Planned Parenthood finds parents useful to their cause; in the other, parents simply get in their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Planned Parenthood\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.plannedparenthood.org\/learn\/parents\/elementary-school\/what-should-i-teach-my-elementary-school-aged-child-about-identi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">website<\/a>, it offers a course called, \u201cWhat should I teach my elementary school aged child about identity?\u201d There it is claimed that children will \u201ccome to understand their gender identity during elementary school\u201d while acknowledging that \u201ckids have brains like sponges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what should you do with those \u2018sponge brains\u2019? Planned Parenthood tells parents to \u201cUse books, movies, or TV to point to role models that defy gender stereotypes (think: LGBTQ people, female athletes or mechanics, male dancers or nurses, etc.).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKids get a lot of messages about gender from the world around them.\u00a0We know that kids have brains like sponges. One thing growing brains are figuring out in the early part of elementary school are the messages they\u2019re getting about gender. What does being a boy or a girl mean for them? Some kids may feel strongly about sticking to strict gender roles, saying things like blue is only a boy color, or dolls are only for girls. Other kids may be inclined to play with or defy those gender stereotypes,\u201d the website states.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20370%20247'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-1024x664.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load wp-image-3700\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"664\" src=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-1024x664.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-1024x664.png 1024w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-770x499.png 770w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-293x190.png 293w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34-390x253.png 390w, https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/image-34.png 1387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Planned Parenthood teach child about identity website page jpg<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, Planned Parenthood has created a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qJdafLVf6xo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video<\/a>&nbsp;to \u201ceducate\u201d parents on how to know if their \u201ckid is transgender.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization tells parents, \u201cThe truth is that your child is who they are and it\u2019s going to be okay.\u00a0<em><strong>There\u2019s nothing you as a parent can do to change your kid\u2019s gender identity<\/strong><\/em>.\u201d (emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"How To Know If Your Kid Is Transgender | Planned Parenthood Video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qJdafLVf6xo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"How To Know If Your Kid Is Transgender | Planned Parenthood Video\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qJdafLVf6xo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhile most people don\u2019t have a sense of their sexual orientation until middle of high school, children do start to understand their gender identity as early as three years old,\u201d the organization claimed. \u201cSome little kids may understand that the gender everyone says they are is not really who they know they are inside.
