Planned Parenthood Tells Parents to Teach Preschoolers, ‘Genitals Don’t Make You Boy or Girl’
‘In a page appearing on Planned Parenthood’s official website, the organization tells parents, “Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl,” and says boys can have vulvas, while girls can have penises.

Your genitals don’t make you a boy or a girl.
