To promote the dolls, a video was released featuring actual \u201cgender-neutral\u201d children.

More than ever. After C\u00e9line Dion\u2019s \u201cgender-neutral\u201d clothing line for children (<a href=\"https:\/\/vigilantcitizen.com\/latestnews\/something-is-terribly-wrong-with-celine-dions-genderless-clothing-line\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">which contained horrifying symbolism<\/span><\/a>), Mattel has released dolls that assume no identifiable gender.<\/h5>\n<h5>The gender-neutral dolls of the new <em>Creatable World<\/em> toy line let kids accessorize the toy to be a boy, a girl, both or neither. The six dolls have different skin colors, hairstyles, and clothing to \u201ccelebrate the positive impact of inclusivity.\u201d Each customizable doll comes with long and short hair wigs, skirts, pants, shirts, jackets, hats, and various shoes. To achieve \u201cgender-neutrality\u201d, Mattel toned down feminine and masculine features, such as Barbie\u2019s breasts and Ken\u2019s broad shoulders. The line is said to be geared towards kids who identify as gender-fluid, meaning they don\u2019t identify as having a fixed gender like male or female.<\/h5>\n<h5>According to Mattel\u2019s website, the line is \u201cdesigned to keep labels out and invite everyone in, giving kids the freedom to create their own customizable characters again and again\u201d.<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Barbie-gender-neutral-dolls.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-195425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Barbie-gender-neutral-dolls.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Barbie-gender-neutral-dolls.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Barbie-gender-neutral-dolls-300x189.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>During development, Mattel tested the doll with 250 families in seven states, which included 15 children who considered themselves trans, gender-fluid or avoided defining themselves altogether.<\/h5>\n<h5>As it is the norm nowadays, the promotion surrounding the line was coated in a thick layer of social indoctrination and \u201cfacts\u201d that border on utter absurdity. Kim Culmone, senior vice president of Mattel Fashion Doll Design said in a statement:<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cToys are a reflection of culture and as the world continues to celebrate the positive impact of inclusivity, we felt it was time to create a doll line free of labels. Through research, we heard that kids don\u2019t want their toys dictated by gender norms.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>I\u2019m sorry but that\u2019s a lie.
