(Faithwire) – Cartoon Network, which hosts shows mostly catered toward children, is now telling kids about all the different “gender identities” they can use for themselves. On Monday, the Twitter account associated with Cartoon Network tweeted a new series with the caption:
“Here’s to not only normalizing gender pronouns, but respecting them, too. Whether you use he/she/them or something else, we acknowledge and LOVE you!” The comic strips in the new series, created in partnership with the National Black Justice Coalition, a leftist, pro-LGBT organization, used the characters to explain the radical embrace of differing gender identities.

“Gender pronouns describe a person’s gender identity,” reads the text in one frame. “Examples of pronouns are she/her, they/them, and ze/zir. A lot of people are learning about gender identity. If you’re comfortable, you can share your own pronouns.” In another frame, two characters explain “pronouns” to another character. “Hi! My name is Kam. My pronouns are they/them,” says one character.
The other adds, “I’m Alex! Mine are they/them, too! I feel seen.” “Thanks, y’all!” Kam added. “When people use my pronouns, I feel respected, safe, and included.” “Yes!” answered the previously unaware character. “Your pronouns reflect … you! I’ve learned something new today!” READ MORE
