Mattel’s latest collection, Barbie’s Tribute Collection, features an innovative model: the first and only transgender Barbie. With a view to paying tribute to remarkable women throughout history, the brand does justice to Laverne Cox, with a doll model resembling the actress. It’s not just about another Barbie in the pink world, but about gender inclusion and putting an end to unfortunate choices and situations that prove to be embarrassing for children who choose to follow other paths than the most common ones, according to Laverne. Thus, the new transgender Barbie is born, a symbol of social inclusion.
