The first-ever transgender doll was launched at New York’s toy fair last weekend. The doll, modelled on 16-year-old transgender LGBTQ campaigner Jazz Jennings, is made by the US-based Tonner Doll Company. The firm says that it has a tradition of making dolls inspired by “socially transformational heroes”, having previously created a plus-size toy. The dolls will be produced in a limited edition run in spring or summer and will retail at 90 ($approximately £72).
