The nation’s largest abortion provider just released guidelines for parents instructing them how to talk to their preschool-aged children about gender identity.
Planned Parenthood’s new guide insists that telling a child that genitals differentiate the sexes is wrong.
While the most simple answer is that girls have vulvas and boys have penises/testicles, that answer isn’t true for every boy and girl. Boy, girl, man, and woman are words that describe gender identity, and some people with the gender identities ‘boy’ or ‘man’ have vulvas, and some with the gender identity ‘girl’ or ‘woman’ have penises/testicles. Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.
Science tells us that there are many immutable, hardwired differences between men and women, starting with the chromosomes that are imprinted upon every cell in our bodies. Every single cell in a man’s body is stamped with XY chromosomes, while cells in women’s bodies are stamped with XX chromosomes. These chromosomal differences manifest themselves outwardly in many ways, including most obviously in one’s genitals. Obviously, there are some rare exceptions to this rule, as genetic or anatomical abnormalities sometimes occur, but these are the scientific norms.
