✅ A children's book in an American Girl-branded series of self-help guides gives children advice on changing genders.
While the book does not advocate any particular treatment, it does provide advice and tools to help kids discuss gender- related issues — including transitioning — with doctors and others. The relevant section reads:
Being transgender is not an illness or something to be ashamed of. If you're questioning your gender or if you already know for sure that you're trans or nonbinary—talk with an adult you trust, like a parent or school counselor. That person can connect you with a specially trained doctor, who can help you and your family decide what's best for your body.
At first, you and the doctor might talk about wearing the clothes and using the pronouns that make you feel most like the true you. If you haven't gone through puberty yet, the doctor might offer medicine to delay your body's changes, giving you more time to think about your gender identity. And if you've already gone through puberty, a doctor can still help.
The book also provides a list of resources for children who lack an adult they trust to discuss gender issues. In response to criticism, the American Girl company defended the book,We value the views and feedback of our customers and acknowledge the perspectives on this issue.
