The left is drooling over Mattel honoring actress and LGBTQ activist Laverne Cox with its first transgender Barbie even though it is made in Indonesia, where homosexuals are beaten and gay marriage is illegal.
The transgender doll was unveiled recently in honor of Pride month. The “Laverne Cox Barbie Tribute Collection” doll is aimed at ages six and up and models the “Orange Is the New Black” star in a red ball gown with a translucent skirt that shows off Cox’s legs. The odd collector’s item reportedly retails for $40.
The high price tag for the doll, the sexuality of Barbie, and the political virtue-signaling attached to it are all part and parcel of America’s expanding political correctness. Indonesia, on the other hand, is reportedly a country where gay and transgender people still experience widespread discrimination, violence, imprisonment, and at times death under Islamic law, according to Wikipedia.
“Laverne Cox uses her voice to amplify the message of moving beyond societal expectations to live more authentically,” Mattel stated in reference to the Hollywood celebrity and the reveal of transgender Barbie.
Good morning to everyone who finds it funny that Mattel is now making a transgender Barbie doll in Indonesia. A place where gay and transgender people have widespread discriminated & same sex marriage is illegal.

Homosexuality is not technically a crime in the Muslim country, but living “authentically” if you are gay is more than problematic.
The Muslim Indonesian province of Aceh enforces Sharia law which does not tolerate same-sex relations at all. It is punishable by flogging or imprisonment, according to Wikipedia.
In the rest of the country, the practice is ostensibly taboo. Recently, Indonesia summoned Britain’s ambassador to explain why a rainbow flag was hoisted at its embassy.

The rainbow LGBTQ flag was flown alongside the British flag at the country’s embassy in Jakarta on May 17 to commemorate the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, according to an Instagram message posted by the embassy.

“The foreign ministry reminds foreign representatives to be respectful of the sensitivities among Indonesians on matters relevant with their culture, religion and belief,” an Indonesian official named Teuku Faizasyah told Reuters.
Alumni 212 Brotherhood, which is an influential conservative Islamic movement in the country, noted in a statement that the flag sullied the “sacred values of Indonesia,” the media outlet reported.
Reuters is reporting that Indonesia is becoming less tolerant of its gay community. Politicians are becoming more vocal about Islam playing a larger role in the country, according to activists and human rights groups.
“Families experiencing crises due to sexual deviation are required to report their members to agencies handling family resilience or rehabilitation institutions to undergo treatment,” Indonesian draft legislation proposed in 2020 asserted, according to the Jakarta Post.
A 2020 survey by the Pew Research Center also showed that 80% of Indonesians believe homosexuality “should not be accepted by society.”
“It’s been a dream for years to work with Barbie to create my own doll,” Cox told CBS in an interview.

“I can’t wait for fans to find my doll on shelves and have the opportunity to add a Barbie doll modeled after a transgender person to their collection. I hope that people can look at this Barbie and dream big like I have in my career. The space of dreaming and manifesting is such a powerful source and leads you to achieve more than what you originally thought was possible,” she stated.
“I hope all the kids who are feeling stigmatized when their health care is being jeopardized, ability to play sports, I hope they can see this Barbie and feel a sense of hope and possibility,” Cox gushed on NBC’s “Today” show.

As the loner in my family, I can admit I don’t have terribly deep roots. And that same problem contributes to the growth of dangerous extremist movements. Pluralism in this country, from what I’ve read from others, has almost become an end in itself, and one result is you have people who are worse off than I am when it comes to rootlessness. I can at least say I know what I believe and why, and that’s helped me out a great deal. Others have to find their meaning and purpose elsewhere, and the bad actors are the ones who get the most attention. They’re the loudest, because they don’t care about our virtue-signalling nonsense and self-censorship. They get outreach almost for free, a lot of it from those moronic censorship police we call the mainstream media.
Nietzsche was right to worry about how Christianity’s decline would impact the world we live in, but I doubt he expected it to turn out like this. At the rate we’re going, if things go far enough over here, we might wind up going back to how it is over there. I’m not going to pray for that to happen.
Hey, no one ever accused leftists of having high-level functioning brains, so this news is not at all surprising.
No such thing as transgender. This is a made up word. So what about transevil?
Couldn’t even finish the article! Transgender doll for 6 year olds? Why! Can we please keep sex out for our very young children faces! There is absolutely no reason for this! Next you’ll have George Floyd hero dolls. These damn woke folks are friggen out of their minds. Vote republican please!
These woke folks want us to accept transgender and it will never happen. Why are transgenders participating in women sports but you don’t see transgenders participating in men’s sports! The reason is because of the physical difference even is you claim to be a female you are still really a male. And transgender women who claim to be male know they have no chance of competing in a male sport because of the physical difference. So who’s kidding who!
MAN in a DFRESS, get HIS own Sexually Confused “Doll”?! Haaaa…Sorry..Haaaaa !
Will these woke corporations ever pay for the damage they are doing to our kids? Confused about your gender – look down.
Well, if they go broke, that’ll go a ways to their comeuppance. But I’m more concerned about the leaders behind it. I’d rather them face the consequences down here, so that maybe they’ll turn away and won’t have to put up with them “down there.”
Mattel is planning on going full woke next when they produce a pregnant Ken doll. That’s the one I want to see on the shelf.
“Laverne Cox uses his voice to amplify the message of mental illness.”
There, fixed it for you, you stupid phucks!
I must live under a rock because I have no idea who thus Cox person is. I thought the new doll was Michelle Obama, seriously!
They force this insane agenda onto out youth out of one side of their mouths, then have the ga, the audacity to ask why there are so many shootings, why are so many kids mentally ill!
Surely, if a boy can be a girl and a girl can be a boy, you get to choose, then if one decides to go on a shooting spree, it must be okay, as they identify as a mass shooter! Sounds absurd, right, perhaps not so much to a bent mind!
Their minds aren’t ready for your argument yet. But then, they still believe killing those within a certain age-range without their consent is bad. According to them, why? They won’t accept that if you can change your sex, you can change your race. Why not? It’s a war between counter-hierarchies trying to do away with the one our ancestors built the West from. God isn’t at the top anymore, because they pretend to believe He doesn’t exist. Those who serve don’t rank so highly as before, since leading by example isn’t a warmly welcomed idea for today’s undeserving “elites”. The people who can get everyone to play their game are at the top, and they tailor their games to their interests.
They’ll be ready for your argument when those on top decide it’s good for them to follow identity-politics all the way through.
If you are transgendered, that is a huge burden and before you go changing anything, you’d be best to talk to a good psychologist

Such a small group of Americans are holding our country hostage for their political purpose. Young children are being confused beyond belief to make life decisions.
Parent need to be on top of things more than ever. Not only is the woke folks turning our country on it’s head our young children are being targeted.
Boycotts need to start for any retailer putting this crap out for purchase.
It is what happens when you try and force your way of life on others who do not want anything to do with it. It is not enough that people are being forced to accept gays and lesbians we are being forced to pay for transgenderism and our children are being forced to allow men into women’s bathrooms and vice versa. Then you have the women’s sports teams being forced to allow men to compete with women. It is just a matter of time before it happens in this country.
That will be one big a$$ S.H.T.F. day!
