U. Minnesota Launching ‘Therapeutic’ Transgender Doll Project for 4-Year-Olds

Whatever you do, don’t call this grooming because it’s definitely not grooming.

UMinn scholars launching transgender doll project for 4-year-olds

A University of Minnesota project to create “therapeutic” transgender dolls for children as young as 4 is officially launching this year.

However, the project continues to face criticism from medical leaders, as well as questions about whether public funding is involved.

“Join the waitlist” and “Launching in 2026,” the MyGender Dolls website tells visitors.

“Grounded in gender-affirming clinical practices,” the dolls will be a “therapeutic” resource for clinicians and educators who work with children ages 4-10, it states.

The new website only includes a few details about the dolls, a years-long project by faculty at the university’s Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health. Some of the links on the site are not working yet, but there is a “waitlist” form that people can fill out “to be kept up to date about the MyGender Dolls.”

The College Fix contacted the email address listed on the website and the project organizers via email on July 2 and 5, asking for information about the product and launch date. No one responded.

Previously, the university had a webpage dedicated to the project, but it was removed at some point after The College Fix first reported on it in December 2024.

According to the page, MyGender Dolls mimic classic paper dolls, featuring drawings of children of different ages, shapes, and skin colors to represent “all” kids. Children will be able to choose different internal and external genitals, clothes, and other accessories to help them “visualize their anatomy and genders,” the page stated.

The new website has several images of the dolls, including one that appears to be a boy wearing a dress. It states that the dolls will include a base, expansion pack, and training materials.
