Three-year-old children and other youngsters in U.K. schools and
nurseries are being encouraged through books to question their gender.
One of such books is 'Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl?' written by a transgender activist.
An online description for the book says that it "includes all forms of gender expression" and that it "allows parents and children to begin to break down the barriers of gender and to talk about what different stereotypes and roles mean to them."
The book includes the character Thomas, a male teddy bear, who tells his friend Errol: "I need to be myself, Errol. In my heart, I've always known that I am a girl teddy, not a boy teddy. I wish my name was Tilly, not Thomas."
Other of such books include Gracefully Grayson, which is about "a girl on the inside, stuck in the wrong gender's body," and one titled Jamie: A Transgender Cinderella Story.
A critic has said concerning these books, "They are inflicting adult neuroses about gender onto children who are not interested in gender. Children do not have issues about their gender in 99.9 percent of cases.
"Adults need to stop thinking children see the world the way they do. They do not. They may play at being a goblin one day, a dragon the next. They do not see the world in the way adults do and inflicting adult neuroses about gender onto children is damaging and cruel."
