Taxpayer program pushes gender identity in rural Maryland: 'Women might have a penis' BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Maryland public school teachers in rural districts were repeatedly instructed through a taxpayer funded program to use gender neutral language in classrooms, such as “people with vaginas,” according to documents obtained by Spotlight on Maryland. The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) received about $7 million in federal taxpayer grant funds since 2020 to run the True You Maryland program in Allegany, Washington, Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester Counties. Documentation of the program obtained in a public information request revealed that Planned Parenthood instructed Maryland teachers how to provide sex education in a presentation titled, “Tossing Out the Binary.” “Some women might have a penis and testicles,” Vanessa Geffrard, the vice president of education and outreach at Planned Parenthood Maryland, told teachers in a 2023 training. “Rather than being like ‘this is women’s anatomy,’ or ‘this is men’s anatomy,’ we want to stick to ‘people with vaginas, people with uteruses.’ We want to identify the body part.”
