Barbie and Ken - Caught in Transition

Question
Did you ever wonder why Barbie and Ken don't have private parts that look like yours or mine, or even like your mommy and daddy's?

Hypothesis
I think that Barbie and Ken don't have privates like you and me because they had them removed. They did the first couple of stages of Sexual Reassignment Surgery or SRS. Something bad happened and Barbie and Ken couldn't finish and get their new privates.

Results
Barbie and Ken are both . Imagine you're a boy and you act like a girl, or that you're a girl and you act like a boy. Transexuals get really sad because who they really are isn't their privates but inside their brain.

Transexual people sometimes feel like freaks or monsters, because people think they are and that's why they want to hurt them.

For about 30 years, transsexuals can change their privates to the ones they want, but it takes a long time and it's very expensive and very painful too. But I guess it's all worth it because they were so sad before.

Barbie and Ken couldn't finish their surgeries. Barbie's didn't turn out well and Ken just ran out of money. Now Barbie and Ken are sad because they can't people who they want to be. I'm sure you can understand that. I always wanted to be an astronaut and nothing's happened yet so I know how they feel. So next time you play with Barbie and Ken be extra-nice to them because most people aren't and they just want to be happy just like you and me
