Update on Girl of the Year 2023 Kavi Sharma

A few days ago, an illustration reportedly from Kavi's book was leaked on Instagram saying that Kavi would use they/them pronouns in addition to she/her pronouns. This bit of information has since been confirmed as false, as AGIGer @wall.to.wall.dolls found that the image's source wasn't from American Girl, but from something completely unrelated: an NPR article about pronouns. Other sources have since confirmed Kavi only uses she/her pronouns.


I feel bad for misleading everyone, but even though we only have eight days left to go, we know barely anything about Kavi, so pretty much any rumor can be seen as true at this point...

Along with some other people, I am going to make mine have She/They or They/Them pronouns. I hope AG comes out with some LGBTQIA+ dolls soon!

I'm nonbinary so I think it would be great to have a trans girl! Of course, I do know the backlash would be there. Seeing as American Girl was more than willing to sell J.K Rowling Harry Potter dolls and people were so open to buying them...I don't think too many people would support a trans doll unfortunately.

I would totaly support a trans doll. I think it's really important that young children understand that it's OK to be you. If the toys they own don't show diversety they might feel like they aren't included. And thats NOT OK. Everybody matters. I think it would be nice to have a trans doll model the Harry Potter line. Just to stick it to JK Rowling.

Sad this isn't true. Regardless, I hearby declare that Kavi uses she/they pronouns. (And yes, it does mean once I get Kavi it will be my headcanon)

i was looking forward to seeing a doll who uses different pronouns but i kind of doubted it was true from the beginning. after the body image book backlash i don't think AG is ready for even more backlash by introducing a character who might be trans or otherwise non-cisgendered. i hope one day when it is safe that they will create a transgender character and it is still possible that kavi could be trans and use she/her pronouns since we really don't know too much about her yet. but as much as i would like to see that i don't think AG will make that decision for a while.

i think the book has been delayed long before the backlash started. interesting theory but i highly doubt it.
