Your tax dollars are at work in the University of Minnesota recruiting elementary school children for brainwashing in left-wing gender ideology.

Fox News reports, "University of Minnesota looking for 'gender diverse' kids to play with transgender dolls for research project."

And how does this work?

"The University of Minnesota (UMN) is offering to pay parents of transgender and 'gender diverse' children to have their kids play with unconventional dolls, complete with genitals and sex organs.

"We are looking to hear from transgender and gender diverse children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old and their parents about a new hands-on activity to help talk about gender and bodies," the National Center for Gender Spectrum Health (NCGSH) at UMN wrote on Instagram earlier this year.

"Children and parents will meet a few times in groups with others to play with and give us ideas about the activities," they added.

This is evil and perverse.

Children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old have no business playing with sex toys and "researchers" and parents who think this is normal should be in mental hospitals themselves.

This is the left recruiting left parents, using your tax dollars.

The result is children who face the very real possibility of lifetime psychological damage.

Even reading about the "study" is creepy and disgusting for normal people.

From Fox News: " . . . families will be asked for feedback on a new therapeutic tool, called MyGender Dolls. MyGender dolls consist of bodies that vary in age, shape and skin color 'so that all kids can see themselves represented and communicate how they see themselves. With over 100 different clothing, accessory and hair options, kids will have a lot of choices for self-expression through this tool,’ according to the UMN website.

"Created by transgender and gender diverse artists, MyGender Dolls are sets of two-dimensional dolls with accompanying internal sex organs and external genitals.

"The dolls are intended to be used by a "gender competent therapist" who works with young children and adolescents for the purpose of 'gender exploration.'"

This is the Barbie starter kit for a lifetime of mental illness, depression, suicidal thoughts and medical intervention.

In reality, this study should be a crime.

Unbiased studies show 90% of the "gender diverse" children grow out of this delusion and genuine psychological help can deal with the rest.

Studies like these are made possible through federal grants and amount to ideological patronage spending for leftists.

Left-adherents in the federal government create jobs for more left-wingers at the state level who use the money to advance their twisted ideology.

In this particular instance, children are the final victims.

Elon Musk can start cutting government spending by eliminating leftist patronage grants in total. These grants aren’t research.

The grants are political payoffs for favored ideologues.

No sane taxpayer would want their money wasted on a study like this and no Trump government should support this waste either.
