This is to, erm, 'educate' very young children that if your 'heart knows you are a boy' then it must be true, because a dream is a wish your heart makes. Or something. Fuck knows.

Also if you don't like wearing dresses and having long hair then you can become a boy! Hurrah! Now you don't have to do those things any more!

Just FWIW, apparently Julia/Julien is based on Julia from Sesame Street.

Who is an autistic character.

Not that that's the, er, target market for the videos above, or anything.

It s not sesame street.
It s not made by or promoted by sesame street.
It s using puppets but made by a foundation fondationjasminroy.com/en/

Hell no.

They were more progressive in the seventies. Check this out: "Boy meets girl"

yes sorry I should have made it clearer that it's not affiliated to Sesame Street, just a transgender rip-off of Sesame Street.

I'm not sure if they are sending a message out by using the same character name as the autistic Sesame Street puppet, and then transing her.

I was about to scream noooooooooooooooo into the void but thankfully it is just a rip off.

Hmm As if there isn't enough of that in RL

Sesame's street Autistic Character was a huge step forward - honestly, I would never see them combining like this - they would just have a new puppet.

The script of the 1972 "Free to be you and me" sketch is below, as the puppet clip missed out some of the lines. They really did have a better clue about sex equality and stupid stereotypes nearly half a century ago.

Mel Brooks (male, deep voice): Hi!
Marlo Thomas (female, higher voice): Hi!
Male: I’m a baby!
Female: Well what do you think I am, a loaf of bread?
Male: You could be, what do I know, I’m just born, I’m a baby, I don’t even know if I’m under a tree or in a hospital or what, I’m just so glad to be here.
Female: Well, I’m a baby too.
Male: Have it your own way, I don’t want to fight about it.
Female: What, are you scared?
Male: Yes, I am, I’m a little scared. I’ll tell you why. You see, I don’t know if I’m a boy or a girl yet.
Female: What’s that got to do with it?
Male: Well, if you’re a boy and I’m a girl you can beat me up! You think I want to lose a tooth on my first day alive?
Female: What’s a tooth?
Male: Search me, I’m just born, I’m a baby, I don’t know nothing yet!
Female: You think you’re a girl?
Male: I don’t know, I might be. I think I am. I ‘ve never been anything before. Let me see, let me take a little look around. Hmm… cute feet, small, dainty, yup, yup, I’m a girl, that’s it, girl time.
Female: Well, what do you think I am?
Male: You, that’s easy, you’re a boy!
Female: You sure?
Male: Of course I’m sure. I’m alive already four, five minutes, right? I haven’t been wrong yet.
Female: Gee, I don’t feel like a boy.
Male: That’s because you can’t see yourself.
Female: Why, what do I look like?
Male: Bald. You’re bald, fellah. Bald, bald, bald, you’re bald as a ping-pong ball, are you bald.
Female: So?
Male: So, boys are bald and girls have hair.
Female: Are you sure?
Male: Of course I’m sure. Who’s bald, your mother or your father?
Female: My father.
Male: I rest my case.
Female: Hmm. You’re bald too.
Male: You’re kidding!
Female: No, I’m not.
Male: Oh, don’t look!!
Female: Why?
Male: Ugghhh. A bald girl. Yuck. Disgusting.
Female: Maybe you’re a boy and I’m a girl.
Male: There you go again. I told you, I’m a girl. I know it, I know it, I’m a girl, and you’re a boy.
Female: I think you’re wrong.
Male: I am never wrong! What about shaving?
Female: What about it?
Male: You just shaved, right?
Female: Wrong.
Male: Exactly! And you know why? Because everyone’s born with a clean shave. It’s just that girls keep theirs, and boys don’t.
Female: So what does that prove?
Male: Tomorrow morning, the one that needs a shave, he’s a boy.
Female: Well I can’t wait until tomorrow morning!
Male: See, that proves it! Girls are patient, boys are impatient.
Female: Yeah, what else?
Male: Can you keep a secret?
Female: Absolutely.
Male: There you go! Boys keep secrets, girls don’t.
Female: Hmm.. Go on.
Male: Are you afraid of mice?
Female: No.
Male: I am, I’m terrified of them! I hate them! Squeak, squeak, squeak! What do you want to be when you grow up?
Female: A fireman.
Male: What did I tell ya?
Female: How ’bout you?
Male: A cocktail waitress! Does that prove anything to you?
Female: Hmm… You must be right.
Male: I told you, I’m always right. You’re a boy, and I’m the girl.
Female: I guess so. Ooh! Wait, here comes the nurse to change our diapers.
Male: About time too, I’ve never been so uncomfortable in my life.
Female: Hey, look at that!
Male: What?
Female: You see that? I’m a girl, and you’re a boy!
Male: Hey, it sure looks like it.
Female: What do you think of that?
Male: I can’t understand it.
Female: Well, it sure goes to show ya.
Male: What?
Female: You can’t judge a book by its cover.
Male: Ha, ha, ha. What does that mean?
Female: How should I know? I’m only a baby.
Male: So am I. Goo.
Female: Goo.

One of these things is not like the others
One of these things just doesn't belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time we finish our song?

'comments are disabled for this video'
hardly surprising
that adult dressed in a little dress is properly creepy

'comments are disabled for this video'

yes, their other videos have comments & votes, this one mysteriously does not.
