Barbie Website Rewords Its 'Gender Confusing' Poll

The Barbie website recently changed an online poll that asked visitors for their gender, offering three choices to choose from – "I am a Girl," "I am a Boy,” and “I don't know."

On Wednesday, the third option was changed to "Don't want to say."

Mattel, the toy company that manufactures Barbie, was criticized for allowing children the original third option, which conservative Christian groups such as Concerned Women for America say only promotes gender confusion.

"It's the idea that well, maybe people aren't born a particular biological sex, or they are but that shouldn't determine their gender identity," said Bob Knight, director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute. "And that's a very big component of the homosexual activist agenda now."

Mattel released a statement Wednesday stating that they had meant the third option to be "Don’t Want to Say" all along. Story
