It looks like after years of going “woke” - and broke - Disney is finally wising up to the error of their ways. Or at least noticing how it's affecting their bank account.
The children’s entertainment giant is reportedly pulling a planned transgender storyline from its upcoming animated series “Win or Lose,” which centers on a co-ed high school softball team. The series, set to begin streaming on Disney+ in February of 2025, still includes the formerly “trans” character, but the company has removed several lines of dialogue that referenced the character’s “gender identity,” the Hollywood Reporter explains.
“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” Disney said in a statement.
Um…ya think?
The move comes after children’s films featuring openly gay characters - including "Lightyear" and "Strange World," both released in 2022 - utterly bombed at the box office amid a larger string of Disney fails. The announcement also comes ahead of the much-prolonged premier of the company's live action "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" remake, a not-yet-released-film that has already garnered an avalanche of negative public reaction thanks to its obnoxiously leftist lead actress and her feminist diatribes.
Of course, the decision to nix its first pointedly "trans" character hasn’t sat well with alphabet mafia, or the “trans” person who voiced...it? Them? Whatever.

Chanel Stewart, an 18-year-old biologically male actor who believes himself to be a woman and who voices the role of the show's now-formerly “trans” character, said he was “disheartened” when Disney called to tell him his lines openly spewing leftist gender propaganda at young children were being cut from the story.
“It’s just that my character would now be a cis girl, a straight cis girl,” said Stewart. “So yeah, that’s all they really told me and that I was still a part of the show.”
“I was very disheartened,” he continued. “From the moment I got the script, I was excited to share my journey to help empower other trans youth. I knew this would be a very important conversation. Trans stories matter, and they deserve to be heard.”
First off, there is nothing “empowering” about telling young children that they should be so dissatisfied with the body God gave them that they should pump themselves full of chemicals and mutilate their anatomy to try to be something different.
Secondly, and even more importantly, there is no reason whatsoever that a company that makes movies and shows for young children should be peddling that garbage.
