Yes, I understand that the custom toy maker should respond to customer demands. I do not fault them for giving into the demands of their customers. What I am having a hard time with is I find this idea horrific and I can't really explain why. As someone who grew up during the 80s and who was assigned male at birth, the closest thing we had to this were the Starscream action and Destro action figures.

As for Starscream and Destro, having just read the beginnings of both Wikipedia articles, how do these particular action figures relate to you being trans? — or to being disabled? I never watched either show, and the Wikipedia articles are less than enlightening on the subject.
