The popular American Girl doll brand is facing backlash for pushing children as young as three years old into changing their gender.<\/p>\n
A Smart Girl’s Guide: Body Image, contains lines that give advice to prepubescents on how to change their gender – without their guardians’ blessing. Parents have since slammed the book’s contents as ‘deceptive and dangerous.<\/p>\n
A passage in the book – marketed to girls aged between three and 12 advises: ‘If you haven’t gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body’s changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity.’<\/p>\n
It also provides a list of resources for organizations the children can turn to ‘if you don’t have an adult you trust’.<\/p>\n
The book, penned by resident American Girl author Mel Hammond, is currently available on shelves in bookstores across the country and on the company’s website.<\/p>\n
The release of the book comes amid a wave of increasingly woke content from the American Girl brand.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, its parent company Mattel, recently put a transgender Barbie doll on the market. Before that, American Girl, which sells more than 30million dolls a year, shilled an Asian doll when anti-Asian hate crimes were skyrocketing across the US.<\/p>\n
The company has yet to comment on the contentious content.<\/p>\n
In the book, it normalizes being transgender, and pushes children to use puberty blockers.<\/p>\n
