Doll has been assigned transgender at construction. Has anyone asked the doll how it chooses to identify? I think not.

The doll seems to 'pass'. I would never have guessed that it wasn't meant to be female. Or is that the point?

It's £72 because it's special.

I don't know how you're supposed to know it's transgender though, once out of the packaging. I rather thought it was a Kardashian.

£72?!?!

So what? I've put Ken in Barbie's clothes as a child, I am pretty sure.
And I sure hope this is the only thing transgender about that doll.

I'd find it a bit unsettling if it actually had a neovag detailed enough so that you can tell it is not an actual vagina. Confused

"I always loved playing with dolls, [says Jazz, who inspired the toy]. “It was a great way to show my parents that I was a girl".
