'Human Ken Doll' Comes Out As Transgender: 'Inside I've Always Felt Like Barbie'

Roddy Alves, a former contestant on Celebrity Big Brother, has long been known as the "human Ken doll."

Alves spent over $650,000 on cosmetic surgeries, "including having four ribs removed, a "cat-eye" lift and so many nose surgeries that it began sinking and disintegrating" according to The New York Post.


Now, however, Alves has come out as transgender to The Mirror, revealing she has always felt more like Barbie than Ken on the inside.

"I'm known as Ken but inside I've always felt like Barbie."

Alves will now be using "she" and "her" pronouns while changing her first name to Roddy.

"I finally feel like the real me. Glamorous, beautiful and feminine."

Alves has now received additional surgeries to give herself a D-cup bust and fuller hips/lips.

All photos prior to her transition have been removed from Instagram and replaced with photos of herself as "Barbie."

The Brazil-born personality says she finally feels content now that her "body matches her mind."

"For years I tried to live my life as a man. I had a fake six-pack put in, I had fake muscles in my arms, but I was lying to myself. I'm a woman and have always had a feminine brain. Now my body matches my mind."

She is now looking forward to gender confirmation surgery.

"I will have a penile inversion and my testicles will be removed. That will be the final step. Before that I'm having silicone breast implants. I'll be able to wear dresses that show my cleavage and look sexy. I'm very excited."


Alves realized she wanted to transition during a photo shoot last year.

She now has plans to receive cosmetic surgeries to reshape her forehead, shave her jawline and remove her adam's apple.

She spoke about how she felt as a child, saying:

"Growing up, I was very feminine and used to play with dolls and wear my mum's dresses and heels."


Ultimately, Alves claims she has never felt better.

"Within a month I was diagnosed with gender dysmorphic disorder and given the option to start the ­appropriate medication to transition."
"Before, people looked at me because I looked very androgynous and weird for a man. Now I hope they are looking because they think I am a beautiful woman."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
