The world's first transgender doll was released this month by New York
based doll company, Tonner Doll. The doll is based on Jazz Jennings, the
16-year-old transgender teenager who has identified as female since she
was just a toddler (pictured right - she's a
YouTube personality, spokesmodel, TV personality and LGBTQ rights activist). Sharing a photo of the doll, Jazz wrote;
This is the first transgender doll on the market, and guess what?! It's
ME!!!😱😍 @tonnerdoll did a great job of creating this beautiful item!
It will be available in July, and I hope that it can place transgender
people in a positive light by showing that we are just like all other
people💗 For those asking: the doll is considered to be the first
"transgender" doll because it's based on an individual who is trans. Of
course it is still just a regular girl doll because that's exactly what I
am: a regular girl!💖
