1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Transgender/intergender dolls?

Jan 7, 2014

    1. I do have one doll that is a trans guy, and I just knew when I saw his face. He is still getting his make up but I will let him show himself once he is half complete.

      Never even considered having a doll which gender wasn't "the one they came with from factory" but here we are, a male doll with female head and body (modded).

    2. I have a pair of dolls whose characters are identical twins, a boy and a girl. The girl is trans, but since they're both prepubescent YoSD models, that doesn't mean much. It's just the only way you can have identical twins of different genders, so I went with it when the dolls "told me."

    3. My first ever doll was an iplehouse boy that in the middle of character creation, sort of decided she was a girl! lol. It happens!
       
    4. I feel like any of my dolls could be transgender. I haven't really given any thought to which ones are cis and which are trans. They just are their gender no matter if that's how they were biologically born :love

    5. I've never head of the hot glue breast plate thing! Could you show this? I think this is a neat way to get a feminine body for a doll if you don't have the money to purchase another body. it also keeps the integrity of the original body. This feels very much gender-affirming for a doll and it's sweet <3
       
    6. Here is pics of Ryuma/Reyna that shows their genderfluidness. They have days when they feel male, and days when they feel female, and their name changes depending on their mood.

      I also have a transgender boy who's a Padawan/Jedi-in-training, but I want to make a separate post for him.

    7. Alexis, my only complete doll is non-binary, and I imagine most of the dolls I will have will end that way.
      I am medically intersex and having never found any real representation growing up am choosing to have my dolls do it instead!

    8. Just as I promised, I got him back from my make up artist.

      Kazu (pardon me for not having anything for him yet) is a trans guy that is winning the race to be my fav.

    9. I have a doll that is a trans female. The day I'll paint her body, I may paint scars or tattoos where the scars would be, under her chest.

      Here she is:

    10. I have plans to make an intersex doll. I am going to buy one of the Mascat Doll girls for this. They are very flat chested ⅓ scale dolls. I have been searching for a doll like this for awhile and stumbled across them by accident. I am very happy to have discovered this company because I can now make the ⅓ XXY doll that I want. I do not plan on modding the body. This doll will be able to wear the boy clothing and look androgynous without modifications.

    11. Well, yes, I suppose I do. I don't feel like I focus on thinking about it because my doll world has been my safe space where I get to act out everyone getting along with each other in their various identities without it causing them a bunch of lifetime traumas like it did me.

      Off the top of my head: Laurel is a transwoman I suppose (as the doll character began one way and moved through into herself now) I have a written narrative she's a supporting character in but her transness is not part of the story.
      Fer's character realistically is more transmasc than anything, just once again, trying not to focus on that and just let him be.
      The Dimitri/Dmytro characters have always been carefree and gender nonconforming (somewhere in non-binary/fluid)
      People have made plenty of comments about my "soft boys" (rude lol) and commanding women in my doll family overall. It is what it is (an expression of personal narratives in the way that is natural for me).

    12. Yes, I have two twin dolls I would consider transmasc. Well by human standards within the story I've written for them their society works differently from ours.
      Though they are still undergoing chest modifications. (I'm easily distracted ahah)

    13. Last year Metis doll had a pre-order for a fashion BJD doll called "Orlando" that is very gender fluid, the creator mentioned the the body type as "Angel" and described Orlando "as supermodel with both gender". Due to it's androgynous body type it can be dressed as a woman or as pretty boy. It reminded me of the film "Orlando" that Tilda Swinton was the protagonist back in 1993 and the 1970s anime series " Lady Oscar" aka Rose de Versailles set mainly in pre-revolutionary France. This is one of those dolls that I would like to add to my collection one of these days.
