University of Minnesota UMN is offering to pay parents of transgender and “gender diverse” children to have their children play with unconventional dolls, complete with genitals and sex organs.
“We look forward to hearing from transgender and gender diverse children ages 5 to 10 and their parents about a new hands-on activity to help talk about sex and bodies,” the National Center for Gender Spectrum Health (NCGSH) at UMN said. he wrote on Instagram Earlier this year.
“Children and parents will meet several times in groups with others to play with them and give us ideas about activities,” they added.
UMN indicated it would pay $20 to $60 per group for the study.

Additional information about the eligibility screening revealed that families will be asked to provide feedback on a new therapeutic tool called MyGender Dolls.
MyGender dolls are made up of bodies that vary in age, shape, and skin tone “so all kids can see themselves represented and communicate how they see themselves. With over 100 different clothing, accessory and hair options, kids will have plenty of options for their self-expression through this tool.” According to UMN website.
Created by trans and gender diverse artists, MyGender Dolls are sets of 2D dolls with internal sex organs and accompanying external genitalia.

The dolls are designed to be used by a “gender therapist” who works with young children and adolescents for the purpose of “exploring gender.”
NCGSH was held at UMN A Double match fundraiser For MyGender dolls. Every dollar donated is said to be matched by two members of the program on the Human Sexuality Leadership Council.
