    Mattel, Inc., the toy company perhaps best known for bringing the iconic and hyperfeminine Barbie dolls to children across the world, has launched a new line of gender-nonconforming dolls.
    The Creatable World dolls come with short hair and a kit with a longer wig and a variety of clothing options, which children can use to customize their toys’ gender expression. Mattel promises that children can create more than 100 distinct looks with each set.

    “Toys are a reflection of culture and as the world continues to celebrate the positive impact of inclusivity, we felt it was time to create a doll line free of labels,” Kim Culmone, senior vice president of Mattel Fashion Doll Design, said in a statement.
    Confusing children further, doesn't help them, it hurts them.

    If a kid wants one of those they are either a girl or a puff.

    I like the idea too. The original Barbie and Ken were one-sided, very dull stereotypes.

    Since I live near Portland - Your story made me think of this. You can probably find something similar for a metro area near you.

    As long as your kind are contained in metro areas and away from REAL America I'm fine with that. You can play with dolls all you want in your fairyland oasis of mental illness.

    My kind? I now live in a county with a total population of 50,000 though I did live in Portland for ten years which is about a 90 minute drive from me. Beautiful, clean city with very distinctive neighborhoods.

    So no, I am no longer "contained" but chuckle at your concept of REAL America. WTF is that anyway?

    Real America is where we raise boys to men and girls to be women not some ill form of concocted identities that are abhorrent to mentally stable humans.
