The world’s first transgender fairy doll? Parents are crying foul when Chinese manufactured fairy dolls appeared to have male genitalia. However, a manufacturing defect may be to blame: “In molded plastics, you won’t find mysterious holes, but you will occasionally find small protuberances that allow the part to be pulled from the mold. I think what we are actually looking at is not so much a penis, as that manufacturing aid. If you are wondering why you rarely see these manufacturing tabs, it’s because most companies would have a “trim station” during the process where that bit of plastic would removed. Unfortunately, it appears this Chinese company thought they’d save the fraction of a fen it would cost to castrate the pretty fairy doll before packaging, and keep mothers out of panic mode. And so, because a Chinese manufacturer was being thrifty, we now have what is being called the world’s first trans doll.”
