Disney has removed a planned storyline featuring a transgender character from its upcoming Pixar series, 'Win Or Lose.' 18-year-old actress, Chanel, who was slated to voice the character, expressed her disappointment, stating that the storyline was meant to empower other transgender youth. The changes sparked criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates and viewers who argued that representation matters and that children deserve to see themselves reflected in media.
A spokesperson for the studio said: “When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognise that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.”
Each episode of the show will focus on a different member of the team, and explore a different aspect of their lives away from baseball.Although Chanel did not disclose specific details about the changes, she said “a few lines of dialogue” had been removed from the show. While her character will remain “a part of the show heavily”, she will now be depicted as a “straight cis girl”.Chanel’s mum Keisha said of the changes: “It was upsetting because my daughter is transgender and this is her life.
