Remember the children's book Heather Has Two Mommies, which taught kids the joys of lesbian parenting?  Well, that's old hat now, as kids are now being taught the equivalent of Heather Has Two Mommies, and One of Them Used to Be a Daddy.

This year, children’s publishers are releasing around half a dozen novels in a spectrum of genres, including science fiction and young adult romance, that star transgender children and teenagers. “In our culture, it was really something that was in the shadows, but suddenly people are talking about it,” said David Levithan, vice president and publisher of Scholastic Press.

In the shadows?  Do you think transvestites were in the same shadows with illegal aliens, mixing transsexualism with transnationalism?

Last fall, a transgender teenager named Jazz Jennings published “I Am Jazz,” a picture book she co-wrote about a transgender girl. A blistering Amazon review for “I am Jazz,” written for 4- to 8-year-olds, called the story of a transgender girl “inappropriate material for young readers,” while another reviewer scolded, “We should not be indoctrinating young kids about ‘trans.’ ”

But writers and publishers have been undeterred, noting that child psychologists and L.G.B.T. advocacy groups argue that very young children can question their gender identity and that families should be open to discussing the subject. The next frontier for authors writing about transgender people seems to be middle-grade literature, or books aimed at 8- to 12-year-olds.

In August, Scholastic will publish “George,” a middle-grade debut novel about a boy who knows he is a girl but doesn’t know how to tell his family and friends. George decides to try out for the part of Charlotte in a school production of “Charlotte’s Web”

Look at the picture below.  This is the author of "George."

Alex Gino, the author of "George," identifies as genderqueer, a gender identity that falls outside of the male/female binary. 

This is what we want to promote to young children?  Has the whole world gone mad?  I have an idea: how about books that teach kids to be happy the way they are, and not to mutilate their bodies?  Maybe something like this:

Bobby liked to play with dolls and wear dresses.  Daddy wasn't at home much because he was serving in Afghanistan.  But when Daddy got back and saw what Bobby liked to do, he sat Bobby down and said, "Son, for a boy, playing with dolls and wearing dresses is sissy stuff.  You understand?"

Bobby nodded.

"I wasn't deployed overseas so you could be home here prancing around in a tutu.  Boys should be happy to be boys, and girls should be happy to be girls.  You can never, ever turn into a girl, so you should be happy the way you are.  You see?

Bobby nodded.

"If you do, you'll lead an unhappy life being something you can't be.  Oh, you may get a job at Apple or become a senator from South Carolina, but you'll always be hating yourself."

Now this teaches a positive lesson, one that used to be taught in schools.  No more.  Nowadays children are taught hate, resentment, confusion, and guilt, and liberals feel no shame in starting in on the youngest of ages.
