A professor at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine reportedly said children can identify as “gender hybrid” and compared them to the minotaur, a mythological creature.

The idea comes from Diane Ehrensaft, a psychologist and the director of mental health for the child and adolescent gender center at UCSF’s Benioff Children’s Hospital.

Ehrensaft has advocated a “gender revolution,” which she said is being led by children, and outlined several ways that “gender creative children” can express their gender, according to Fox News.

In a slide titled “21st Century Gender Creative Children,” Ehrensaft said some children could be “gender hybrids” such as “gender minotaurs” or “gender Prius,” where a child is a half boy and half girl. Other hybrids mentioned were “gender by season” or “gender by location,” where a child claimed a different gender based on the time of year or current location.

“I totally agree we are in the midst of a gender revolution and the children are leading it,” Ehrensaft reportedly said at a 2018 talk. “And it’s a wonderful thing to see. And it’s also humbling to know [children] know more than we do about this topic of being gender expansive.”

According to the Benioff Children’s Hospital website, Ehrensaft specializes in “gender-affirmative care for transgender and gender-expansive patients; assessment and psychotherapy for children; and support for parents and children in families created through assisted reproductive technology.”
