Can anyone suggest books or other resources for a 12 yr old girl which reinforce the reality of biological sex and counter the mermaid type perspectives on gender ideology in an accessible way?

I dont think you need books on biological reality. Precisely because theres not much to explain. Man, woman done.

Its gender identity which needs books because it needs 50 million pages to form a circular argument.

What you need is culture and values.

Watching with interest because how can you create the rich culture that i grew up with (millennial). Everyone I know thinks this is nonsense after they think about for 2 seconds. Thats due to our upbringing. The 90s was such a vibrant time and I dont know what exactly made us resilient to this.

David Bowie? Micheal Jackson? I dont know but there were a lot of famous men who liked to dress up. And women were strong in their identity too. We had sporty spice, avril lavigne 😂

TV shows which made light of stuff; simpsons, family guy, little Britain, South Park. Amazing movies with strong characters.

I do feel for the kids today. I dont think they have half the richness we had in our lives. In a weird way because they have so much - theres a trillion options to stream. Whereas when we were younger everyone watched the same stuff on tv and I think that added to cohesion and shared values.
