BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Maryland public school teachers in rural districts were repeatedly instructed through a taxpayer funded program to use gender neutral language in classrooms, such as “people with vaginas,” according to documents obtained by Spotlight on Maryland.
The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) received about $7 million in federal taxpayer grant funds since 2020 to run the True You Maryland program in Allegany, Washington, Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties. Documentation of the program obtained in a public information request revealed that Planned Parenthood instructed Maryland teachers how to provide sex education in a presentation titled, “Tossing Out the Binary.”
“Some women might have a penis and testicles,” Vanessa Geffrard, the vice president of education and outreach at Planned Parenthood Maryland, told teachers in a 2023 training. “Rather than being like ‘this is women’s anatomy,’ or ‘this is men’s anatomy,’ we want to stick to ‘people with vaginas, people with uteruses.’ We want to identify the body part.”
Another portion of the presentation encourages teachers to use a “Gender Unicorn” to help students understand different genders.
The True You website states the goal of the program is to establish a “15% reduction in Maryland rural county birth rates,” “10% reduction in Maryland rural county youth STI [sexually transmitted infection] rates,” and “20% reduction in racial disparities in Maryland rural county teen birth and STI rates.” A federal grant description for the program states it is a collaboration between schools, health agencies, local community groups, and family planning clinics.
“””Alicia Miller, a community health educator for the Wicomico County Health Department, led a True You training for teachers in 2023 titled “More Than Pronouns.” She instructed educators to refrain from using terms like “boy” or “girl” when teaching sex education.”””
