Yes, I went. Yes, I cried…a lot. So yes, I should have worn waterproof mascara! Yes, I should have brought more tissues! And YES! I loved it!! So much that I’m going again this Sunday with another girlfriend. Maybe this time I won’t have to try watching it through my tears.
I’m not completely sure, but I believe recently being told that I am an intersex female, and the knowledge that I truly am a woman, had a major effect on my response to seeing the Barbie movie. I was so in touch with all the female characters and it brought back so many memories from my childhood. I have always been feminine! I don’t have a masculine bone in my body! When my sister got Barbies and I got Tonka trucks, I looked at my mom and tried not to cry.
The movie is also a very poignant, but definitely pointed, social commentary. Which is why it has apparently offended many who are all in an uproar, and a certain podcaster going to a store to purchase quite a few Barbie dolls just so he could film himself lighting them on fire!
I love the movie, it will always be dear to my feminine heart, and I can honestly say that it helped affirm and validate me as a woman traveling this new pathway on my journey.
Big hugs ladies,
Ms. Lauren M

I watched Barbie without losing my masculinity.
Although some would say having all my nails polished, wearing pink earrings and dabbing my eyes at the ending meant I already lost it.
I've lost the toxic part for sure.
A word of explanation, my feminine and masculine parts now love and accept each other.
That's a big deal.
What the movie showed you Lauren is that you are free from those male shackles imposed wrongly when you were young. You can be your true self, the one you were meant to be.
I saw Barbie last weekend and it was wonderful! Spoke to me on so many levels and the messages were clear and important. A theme that stood out for me was to “discover who you are (and your purpose) and love yourself for it; that is everything”. An important concept to embrace as a CD. We sort of “live in both worlds” of masculine and feminine so when the toxic “Bro Kens” took over, I was definitely not a fan. I’ve never been a “bro” and can’t stand other men who act that way. I digress tough. I loved Gloria’s monologue! Unpacked a lot of feelings, thoughts, about myself and my relationship with my wife. I have to say Allen is definitely an unsung hero in the movie. While he seems very quiet, introverted, not as popular as the “Kens”, he can jump in to action and do the right thing. So my new saying is “Be an Allen”.
Thanks Lauren and everybody else for commenting on Barbie. I am really looking forward to seeing it and your positive reports just made me all the more anxious to go soon. Marg
It is at the top of my list of things to do. Sounds even better now have your insights Lauren. I also played with my sisters Barbie dolls when young and even wanted to be her when I grew up.
I saw the movie 2 weeks ago and enjoyed it.
Proud to say that I watched and love the film, I did laugh out loud a few times especially with the excellent ending.
