A whistleblower at insurance company State Farm has outed the corporation for partnering with a radical transgender youth organization to purchase and donate transgender-affirming children’s books, and now the well-known company is hurriedly backtracking after getting caught.
The non-profit watchdog group Consumers’ Research is the source of State Farm’s public relations nightmare after the group received a string of corporate emails dating back to mid-January. In that first email, a Florida-based “corporate responsibility analyst” announced State Farm is seeking six insurance agents in the state to receive a three-book bundle then donate them to the “community.”
The three books are A Kids Book About Being Transgender, A Kids Book About Being Non-Binary, and A Kids Book About Being Inclusive, according to The Washington Examiner.
“This is a fantastic way to give back,” the State Farm executive, Jose Soto, wrote, “and an easy project that will help support the LGBTQ+ community and to make the world around us better.”
Although the January email was directed to agents in Florida, Soto wrote that approximately 550 agents and employees nationwide would have the “opportunity” to donate the books to a teacher, community center, or to their local library.
Will Hild, executive director of Consumers’ Research, tells AFN the whistleblower came forward because the employer who claims to be “like a good neighbor” was asking its employees to embrace the controversial books. He calls that a “creepy” and “bizarre” corporate decision.
“We think every State Farm customer, and in this case every parent in the nation, needs to be aware of what State Farm has been doing,” Hild says. “To make sure their kids were not approached through State Farm’s actions on these issues that are not appropriate for children.”
The whistleblowing emails make it clear the insurance company had chosen a side in the culture war, in particular the transgender craze, by partnering with the nonprofit “GenderCool Project.” The group sells the three books (pictured at top) on its website which celebrates mentally confused transgender children.
According to the Examiner article, State Farm was knowingly pushing its agents in Florida to purchase and distribute those books in a state that has been embroiled in controversy over the issue. The new Parents Rights in Education bill will ban those books in public school libraries when it takes effect July 1, the story pointed out.
GenderCool, an Illinois-based nonprofit, is overseen by parents John and Jennifer Grosshandler, who have a teen son named “Chazzie” who identifies as a girl.
This week, nearly six months after agents were asked to participate, State Farm announced it was ending the book giveaway with GenderCool only after Hild and Consumers’ Research published the whistleblower’s emails. A lengthy and confusing statement from State Farm said the company will no longer support a program that promotes the books in school but it supports organizations that “provide resources for parents to have these conversations.”
Elsewhere in the statement, State Farm said it will “continue to explore how we can support organizations that provide tools and resources that align with our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”
According to Hild, a Facebook post from April made it clear State Farm was purchasing the books and distributing them to schools just weeks ago.
“So these books are still on the shelves in schools today,” he says.
The website for GenderCool boasts that it is supported by household brands General Mills, Capital One, Dell and Nike, and by insurance companies Prudential and AllState. It appears the logo for State Farm, which was visible as recently as today, has been removed.

shame on you -state farm–you just lost my business —
Never used them. AND AFTER THIS, i never will!
Not so much like a good neighbor.
“This is a fantastic way to give back,” the State Farm executive, Jose Soto, wrote, “and an easy project that will help support the LGBTQ community and to make the world around us better.”
Define Your version of “better”?
“Any rational person with a child knows that children learn about the world through binary options: up or down, hot or cold, big or little, inside or outside, wet or dry, good or bad, boy or girl, man or woman.
So why would Democrats want to teach their young children to be a sexually confused pervert, even before the child knows what sex is?
“GenderCool Project.” The group sells the three books (pictured at top) on its website which celebrates mentally confused transgender children.“celebrates mentally confused transgender children.”What a wonderful way to make money….NOT!!!
State Farm management needs to go back to the American Farm to see how animals procreate, male and female style, not the secular socialist Orwellian “Animal Farm” where THE PEOPLE get turned into pigs, and the working loyal plow horses get sent to the meat factory to get ground into socialist sausage.
bi·na·ry – ‘relating to, composed of, or involving TWO things.”
So just how do non-binary people reproduce themselves and their race? Do they rely on the stork like Dumbo? No then they would all be elephant republicans. Perhaps like single cell Amoebas the just split in two, the obvious state of how Joe Biden’s brain was created and given birth. “Like a good neighbor State Farm is there”, now spying on your children through peep holes, who believe you are not In Good Hands with Allstate, but THE STATE.
SINCE they corrupt/indoctrinate everyone else’s kids these days, THEY SEE THAT as how they propegate their species.
Lost my business!!! Bye State Farm.
Picking sides on controversial topics not a good business plan.
Makes me wonder, WHO made the dumb call, to ALLOW THIS BOOK in the first place?
After all these years of sounding like a good neighbor, oozing family values in the commercials, then bacically turning on the very group they catered to and going behind the backs of insurance puchasers in support of programs and literature that do more to divide families than bring them together. It is quite apparant that the executive establishment has benn infiltrated indoctrinated liberal wokers who are bent on changinng family values to suit puposes that are in conflict with traditional tried and true axioms with the sixties ‘if it feels good, do it!” no matter the consequences, the harm it does to the ‘confused’ with wedges it drives rather than dialogue within families!
Like a “good neighbor” State Farm wants to groom your kids.
More like a good pervert…
I’ll bet you would never see **** like this from USAA! So glad my wife was able to ditch the State Farm losers.
Am I the only one who sees this push to sexually educate preschoolers as perverts who are grooming their victims.
Yes this transgender stuff has got to stop along with LGBT or whatever they call themselves. Children have enough to deal with in this world without this being one of them as well as causing them to question their sexually. And man with man, woman with woman is totally unacceptable. Why do you think God caused the flood to kill everyone but Noah and his family and the creatures? He was not pleased with people’s sexual choices.
