California grants funds to nonprofit promoting ‘Foxgender’ identity and instructing schools to conceal it.

The State of California Funds Grant to ‌Promote Bizarre Genders and Hide it from Parents

The state ​of California has recently awarded a nine-year grant to an organization that encourages students⁢ to explore a wide range of unique⁣ genders, including unconventional identities like “foxgender.” What’s ⁢more concerning is​ that this group also teaches school districts how to keep this information hidden from‍ parents.

The California Department of Public‍ Health has allocated a total of $2.3 million to a nonprofit called Gender Spectrum. Their activities⁣ involve developing strategies to ‌incorporate gender diversity into school ‍practices. This information was uncovered​ by ​the watchdog group OpenTheBooks.

The ⁣grant’s purpose is ⁤for Gender‍ Spectrum ⁣to conduct ​a thorough evaluation of the​ effectiveness of its programs. One of these programs includes the creation of a six-page form for students to submit their preferred pronouns to⁢ school districts. It also asks whether school staff should conceal the use of these pronouns from parents.

Supporting Students’ Gender Journeys

“It’s not always the case that caregivers are supportive of their child’s gender, their gender journey. In that case, ⁣if parents are not supportive or​ if the child is not out, that’s not necessarily someone who will be part of the gender support team,” said Naomi Cruz, the manager of family and educational programming⁤ at Gender Spectrum.

During the group’s annual Gender Spectrum Family Conference, Cruz delivered a presentation titled “Intro to Neoidentities and ⁢Neopronouns.” The presentation introduced pronouns that describe​ gender as ⁣a personal, aesthetic,‍ synesthetic, or head-space oriented experience. These pronouns‍ include “noun genders” like “foxgender,” “moongender,” and “rockgender,” as well as unconventional “emojiself‌ pronouns” such as “:)self.”

Empowering Youth to Embrace Their Unique ​Identities

“Our youth are becoming more and more independent regarding their self-expression. Instead of⁣ trying to fit into ‌premade boxes, they’re using ⁢their unique identities and forms of expression to create terminology to describe themselves,” the presentation stated.

The presentation also⁢ emphasized that youth are on a “gender journey,”‍ and their genders may evolve over time. ‍However, parents are ​encouraged to affirm these identities,⁤ except when ⁢they appropriate a racial, ethnic, religious, or disability group they do not belong to. ‍In ⁣such cases, parents are advised to suggest alternative terms or pronouns that hold personal⁢ meaning without appropriating closed identities and pronouns.

Curiously, it ⁤remains unclear why youth do not need permission ‍from foxes before adopting fox-related identities.

While Gender Spectrum aims to expand its programs nationwide, it seems that the organization has taken down its website after attracting attention.

OpenTheBooks discovered that California previously granted ⁤$1.1 ‍million to Gender Spectrum for a ⁤”pilot project” from 2017 to 2022. The grant was ‍extended until 2026, with ‍the fee doubled last​ year.

Improving Mental Health and ‍Gender Understanding

“As a ⁢result⁣ of our work, students who fall all⁤ along the gender spectrum will‌ see their experience recognized and affirmed‍ in ⁤their school,” stated the initial grant application.

The grant⁢ application argued that recognizing and affirming diverse gender identities would reduce mental illness among LGBTQ children. ‍It cited ‍statistics showing that 41.5% of ⁣transgender youth have seriously considered suicide. The application also claimed that cisgender young people would have a better understanding of gender and be more comfortable with their own gender expression as⁣ a​ result ‌of the⁢ program.

When asked about evidence of the program’s effectiveness, the application ​admitted that resources‌ were ⁣insufficient to measure the impact of their trainings.‌ However, initial findings ⁢from individual schools⁢ indicated positive results, including significant changes in participants’ knowledge, intent ⁤to⁣ use gender-inclusive practices, and ⁢recognition of ⁤the importance of creating gender-inclusive schools.

Unfortunately, the application did not mention whether the program led ​to a decrease in suicidal tendencies among students.

Gender Spectrum was previously involved in the development of ‍the “National Sex Education Standards.” These standards propose that by second grade, students should be‍ able to define gender identity, and by fifth grade, they​ should understand ⁤the⁣ role of puberty blockers, according to OpenTheBooks.

Despite⁢ the higher suicide rates associated‌ with⁢ nontraditional gender identities, Kim Westheimer, an official from Gender Spectrum, expressed at the 2022 conference that allowing young people ⁢to explore and experiment with their identities is a positive thing.

OpenTheBooks also discovered that the ‍organization received $297,000 in coronavirus loans from‍ the federal government.

Controversy Surrounding Radical Content in Schools

“How many taxpayers‌ can tolerate paying for their children ⁣to be ‍confronted with such controversial ⁣and confusing material?” questioned Adam Andrzejewski, the founder ‍of OpenTheBooks.

Recently, California lawmakers introduced a bill titled “Instructional materials: removing instructional materials and curriculum: diversity.” This bill aims to prevent local school boards from refusing to ⁤teach radical content, including gender-related materials produced by California’s Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s ⁢wife. It is worth​ noting that she has earned money by creating content that is later used‌ in the ‍state’s schools.

In a related incident, a Virginia mother filed a lawsuit against a school district for facilitating and concealing her 14-year-old child’s gender transition. She alleges that this led to ⁣her⁢ child​ being sex-trafficked to ‌Baltimore and held captive by a registered sex offender.
