Transgender Barbie is now available for purchase.

Toy giant Mattel announced last week that they ‘couldn’t be more excited’ about the doll which was made in the likeness of actress Laverne Cox.

Well of course. What could be more exciting than Ken, realising he was a Barbie trapped in Ken’s body, finally being able to exist as her authentic plastic self?

A Mattel spokesperson said the transgendered children’s doll highlighted diversity and inclusion and acceptance – you know the drill.
