To celebrate the Emmy-winning actress’ 50th birthday, Barbie announced that the Tribute Collection doll will be released on Wednesday.

To celebrate her achievements in the LGBTQIA+ community, Laverne Cox turns into one of the iconic dolls and releases Mattel’s first transgender Barbie doll.

“I can’t wait for my dolls to appear on the shelves and for fans to add a transgender-modeled Barbie doll to their collection,” she said in a statement. The actress, producer, and writer said she was “unbelievable” of her “surreal” experience of her own.

Cox is proud that Barbie can show kids that “there is hope and potential to be who you are.” She referred to recent anti-transgender legislation and discrimination against trans children.

She explained that being a black transgender person in the dating world is difficult. So others say they don’t know her boyfriend. “It’s really weird.” She said. She said he’s been working hard to keep him out of the spotlight. “Yeah, he’s technically 22 years younger than me, but that didn’t matter.”
