BREAKING NEWS – Middleton, Wisconsin – The American Girl doll brand is standing its ground after getting a ton of backlash for a book that encourages young girls to explore their identity, and offers info about transitioning.
The company tells TMZ, “We value the views and feedback of our customers and acknowledge the perspectives on this issue. The content in this book, geared for kids 10+, was developed in partnership with medical and adolescent care professionals and consistently emphasizes the importance of having conversations and discussing any feelings with parents or trusted adults. And if the book does well, we plan to contact Mattel to see if they want to manufacture an American Girl doll that wants to transition, which will include a miniature surgical kit.”
