When did “American Girl” become “American You-Might-Not-Be-A-Girl“??
From their brand-new “Body Image” book:
“The way you show your gender to the world through clothes and behaviors is your gender expression. Your gender expression can be feminine, masculine, or somewhere in between — and it might change! Maybe you’ll experiment with bright dresses and long, feminine hairstyles. Or you might try baggy shorts, plaid shirts, and a buzzed haircut. Your gender expression should make you feel at home in your body….
[L]oving your body might feel a bit different than it does for a cisgender person. Parts of your body may make you feel uncomfortable and you may want to change the way you look. … That’s totally okay!”
Wouldn’t it just be totally okay if they just sold dolls and stayed out of this???
