- 2019, David Limbaugh, Guilty By Reason of Insanity: Why The Democrats Must Not Win:
  He notes that schools are using cartoon characters such as a “genderbread person” or unicorn to indoctrinate students, beginning with seventh graders, to believe that one's biological sex, psychological sense of sex, manner of dress, and erotic feelings are independent of one another.
- 2022, Mary E. Kite, Bernard E. Whitley, Jr., Lisa S. Wagner, Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination:
  Have you ever been asked to complete a genderbread person? This person looks like a gingerbread cookie, but instead of drawing icing and eyes, you indicate your biological sex, your gender identity, and who you are sexually attracted to.
