Hello ‘new Barbie’. ?

Good for them! Inclusiveness rocks

I hate barbies for grooming kids into impossible beauty standards from just a young age

When are they bringing out transgender Ken?

What a load of rubbish! The world has gone mad.

The world has indeed gone mad. Little kids don’t need these ideas put in their heads. They find out about the world all too soon.

I thought Ken was already, er, transgender!

I thought Ken was already, er, transgender!

LOL Of course!

Same as 'Action Man'

I don’t think it’s the world gone mad but the human race. I will duck for cover now for daring to be critical.

????????????

Hadn't thought of that so I wonder what defines transgender Barbie from cis Barbie .

Personally I think it is an item of plastic that is not needed.

Here she is. Its clearly the end of civilisation as we know it.

But then I've always thought that about Barbies.

Well IMO unless you know who Laverne Cox is this is simply another Barbie.

Exactly. Isn't that amazing....

Laverne Cox is amazing.

None of them have any ‘bits’ so they are all fairly transgender in my eyes anyway ?
Honestly don’t care either way. There will be a market for them, hence their being made. Capitalism at work.
Bratz dolls are the ones I don’t care for. They look like hookers.

Exactly DillytheGardener it’s a marketing ploy nothing more, nothing less.

We are all being encouraging to buy less, particularly Chinese plastic tat so hey ho let’s jump on the transgender bandwagon…

Perhaps an overweight Barbie with a few tattoos would be more apt.

I suspect the market will be for a new Barbie and this being transgender will be irrelevant to the majority of adults who buy it and children who play with it.

??? Maudi.

It was the highheeled shaped feet that "got" me. Why?
At least action man had proper feet.
Is there an action girl/LGBT?

Oh Maudi yes

Or an elderly Barbie with disabilities?

Yes a bit like when my son had an obsession with Thomas and had to buy every engine. They made one for every character and then thought bugger we cant sell anything else, I know we will do 'winter Thomas ' (exact same engine with some snow on it) or Royal Henry (exact same engine with a crown on it) - still irritated 20 years later
