Dr. Michelle Forcier, an abortionist who claimed she “worked for a number of Planned Parenthoods for 20 years” providing “advanced contraception and abortion as well as gender hormones,” told<\/a> the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh that “There’s research and data that shows that babies and infants understand differences in gender.”<\/p>\n

Note that Forcier does not equate biological sex<\/em> with gender<\/em>. Therefore, she is not<\/em> simply claiming that babies know the difference between male and female\/mother and father.<\/p>\n

Forcier, an associate professor of pediatrics at Brown University Alpert Medical School, was interviewed in the Daily Wire’s documentary “What is a Woman?” in which she claimed that “Some children figure out their gender really early.” Forcier, who says she “takes care of hundreds of kids,” also claimed that young children are “figuring out their gender identity is not necessarily congruent with their sex at birth.”<\/p>\n

“All kids play with gender,” Forcier told<\/a> NBC News. “Three- and four-year-olds know about gender,” Forcier stated. “So, some kids at a very early age they know what gender they are. It just doesn’t match what they’ve been assigned at birth.”<\/p>\n

She also claimed that “kids rarely change their minds about their gender identity.”<\/p>\n

Forcier told NBC News in a separate interview that gender identity is not in the body. “It’s our brain, our heart, and our soul… Identity… isn’t parts,” she claimed, while pointing to her head. “It’s in here.” Some kids “look at their parts and say, ‘my brain says I’m a girl – but I have boy parts,'” she added.<\/p>\n

“When a brain says – wait a minute – my body doesn’t match my brain, and my soul, and my heart’s idea of who I am as boy or girl – my identity as a human being – and my masculinity or femininity – we can call that transgender. Where body gender and brain gender may be in different places,” Forcier stated.<\/p>\n

As for what it means to “play with gender,” Forcier attempted to explain the difference between gender identity and gender expression, telling NBC News, “All kids play with gender. All kids experiment with gender roles and maleness and femaleness. You know they play the daddy – they play the mommy….”<\/p>\n

“But gender non-conformity is different. It’s persistent, consistent, and insistent,” she added. “And these are kids \u2014 who, when you want them to put on a dress for Aunt Sally’s wedding \u2014 scream. They cry. As early as four, five, or six years old. These are kids that try to change their body at an early age. And these are kids whose current body and current gender make them very very sad,” she claimed.<\/p>\n

When Forcier speaks to kids who are brought to her office, she told Walsh that she asks them to “tell me your story – where have you been in terms of your gender and your gender identity? Where are you right now? And more excitingly, where would you like to be in the future?”<\/p>\n

It is interesting that Forcier describes her work as if it respects the rights of children, when in fact, there are many children whose lives are deliberately ended because of her work. Live Action’s “What is Abortion<\/a>?” video series describes the gruesome lack of respect that Planned Parenthood and other abortion “providers” show to children’s bodies before they are born:<\/p>\n
