American Girl is a popular doll brand founded in 1986 featuring dolls of young girls from American History with books telling their stories.
A new book trumpets how prepubescent girls can change their gender.
A book titled' A Smart Girl's Guide: Body Image: How to love yourself, live life to the fullest, and celebrate all kinds of bodies is aimed at girls aged 8-11 years in grades four through six.
The book states, 'The way you show your gender to the world by clothes and behaviors is your gender expression.'
Your gender expression can be masculine, feminine, or in between; it might change. You will experiment with bright dresses, long, feminine hairstyles, baggy shorts, plaid shirts, and a buzzed haircut.
Parts of your body may be uncomfortable, and if you want to change how you look... that is ok!
The book advises, 'You can appreciate your body for everything as it allows you to experience and still want to change certain things about it.
The original book written by schoolteacher Pleasant Rowland featured a 9-year-old girl in American History. The focus of the book became modern girls looking for empowerment.
In May 2022, Mattel, the owners of Barbie dolls, created a transgender Barbie doll modeled after activist Laverne Cox as a part of its tribute.
