Nothing summarizes our discussion more today than the famous scene from Kindergarten Cop where a little boy respectfully raises his hand to speak and waits to be called upon. His words of wisdom for the class that he so ardently and patiently waited to share? “Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina.” In 1990, this was considered so obvious that it was part of the joke. Fast forward thirty years, and a statement like this could now be prosecuted as hate speech.  According to the genderbread person curriculum image, the simple definition of biological sex is: “. . . the physical traits you are born with or develop that we think of as ‘sex characteristics,’ as well as the sex you are assigned at birth.” Let’s break this statement down.

Forget the muffin man. Do you know the Genderbread Person? If not, you need to—and especially if you have kids. The Genderbread Person is now a commonly used craft for teaching kids (at least those young enough to be interested in anthropomorphic gingerbread cookies) how to identify the various LGBTQ identities. (The Gender Unicorn is another similar curriculum that is used, but more for older students. They are basically the same concepts.) So, today we begin a four-part series discussing what aspects of sexuality and gender are being taught through this curriculum, and how parents can understand and discuss the implications of it. Before we start this series, though, I want to point everyone back to one of the original posts we did on two questions we need to ask ourselves before we begin speaking…
