But some girls \u2013 for example, transgender girls \u2013 might not get their periods. They need to understand about erections and those changes in their bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To make the language more inclusive, the authors chose to write, \u201cfor most girls, this happens; for most boys, this happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cisgender, transgender and nonbinary child characters were also used in the book to better relate with kids who identify as those things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost babies who are born with a penis grow up feeling like a boy on the inside too. That\u2019s called being cisgender (cis- means \u2018same\u2019),\u201d the guide tells young children. \u201cBut there are some babies born with a penis who grow up feeling like a girl on the inside. That\u2019s called being transgender (trans- means \u2018cross\u2019 or \u2018opposite\u2019).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>One America News<\/em> covered the response from parents who are upset with the book.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is all a radical gender ideology and sexual orientation ideology mixed into one and they\u2019re coming right for our kids where they\u2019re most vulnerable, in our public school systems,\u201d American Principles Project President Terry Schilling said.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" title=\"Parents outraged after American Academy of Pediatrics issues puberty guide\" src=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/embed\/v10b7eq\/?pub=rsl3j#?secret=YOq5ptl0XP\" data-secret=\"YOq5ptl0XP\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<div class=\"ifw-player\" data-video-id=\"626b0a8a8621a63e63a62fb4\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/infowarsmedia.com\/js\/player.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newswars.com\/american-academy-of-pediatrics-book-teaches-9-year-old-girls-they-can-get-erections\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Puberty guide for youngsters aged 9-12 seems intended to groom them<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-253041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-historic-sexual-abuse"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=253041"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253041\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253042,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253041\/revisions\/253042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=253041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=253041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=253041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
