The end of the real-life Ken
Now, the Brazilian-British TV star admits to the Mirror that he no longer wants to be the human Ken and has surprised all of us with a courageous statement. He has always felt himself to be a woman on the inside and is on the way to becoming a woman: "I am known as Ken, but on the inside, I have always felt like Barbie."
His desire to live as a woman is now becoming a reality - he is already undergoing hormone therapy. He also started to tackle his appearance. He has already exchanged his fake muscles, including his artificial six-pack, for D-cup breast size. According to Rodrigo Alves, whom from now on calls himself Roddy and wishes to be addressed as "she", the hormones have already helped the broad hips. On her Instagram page, she is no longer seen as Ken, but as Barbie instead.
Decisive surgery is imminent for Roddy
The sex-change operation is already a few weeks away and she is already looking forward to her physical transformation and enjoys the fact that her body now corresponds to the true sex of her mind, she revealed in an interview. She loves being a woman and everything that goes with it:
I love it and everything that comes with it. I go to hair salons, nail salons, get eyebrows and eyelashes done. I buy dresses, high heels and wear sexy lingerie!
One can be curious now, about how many operations the former Real-Life-Ken as Transgender-Barbie still wishes to undergo and still rather, how many Roddy’s body can actually endure!
