Mattel has announced the release of its newest Barbie doll to celebrate transgender actor Laverne Cox meant to “highlight the importance of inclusion and acceptance”

“We are proud to highlight the importance of inclusion and acceptance at every age and to recognize Laverne’s significant impact on culture with a Tribute Collection Barbie,” said Lisa McKnight, Executive Vice President and Global Head of Barbie and Dolls at Mattel, according to People.





The super-secret manufacturing process was discovered to be just Ken with glue-on tits and a dress.

I like Laverne Cox - she was probably my favorite character on OITNB - but.......

How can a doll be trans? Is it anatomically correct? Did they make a male doll first, then reshape it to be female? Enquiring minds want to know....

Technically… Wouldn’t giving Ken junk count as trans as well?

I'm so old, I remember when Barbie was a cowgirl, an astronaut and figure skater.

I wonder if there are enough woke buyers that want this doll to make up for the people who will never buy another Barbie because of it.
