As a girl who grew up with type 1 diabetes, seeing these tasteless jokes in here just remind me of the shitty time kids can have when they feel *different* to other kids and get singled out for something they can't control.

So what if its a gigantic mega-corp, they're doing a good thing here for children.
Disgusting fucking 'jokes'. Shitty people.

Kids can be cruel.
I'm glad this Barbie exists. Representation matters, and this toy is one way to show little kids it's ok to have T1D. If a kid knows that Barbie can wear CGM then maybe the kid won't be a jerk when they meet a new kid with a thing on their arm.

So are lgbt+ people, they are clearly a minority and yet their visibility is very important for the preservation or creation of their rights.
Yes, everyone is different, but normalising that difference instead of marginalising it is important.

Made to feel different is a subtle way to say that she was marginalised. We are talking about school, so probably a gentle way to say she was bullied for it.
Also, she did mention getting singled out. I am pretty pedantic myself but dude, this is not the moment.

wrote last edited by [email protected]What does (or could) being marginalized mean here? I have heard it before bunch of times but don't have a very concrete sense of it.
