Disney Removes Transgender Character from Pixar’s “Win or Lose,” Sparking Backlash

Disney’s recent choice to remove a transgender character’s plot from Pixar’s upcoming animated series “Win or Lose” has stirred up controversy. Since the series, which centers on a middle school softball team, will now portray the character Kai as cisgender, former Pixar employees have expressed their disapproval of the move. This change stands out because the character’s voice is done by transgender actor Chanel Stewart.
People are paying more attention to how Disney portrays LGBTQ+ people, which led to its decision. The company told The Hollywood Reporter that the change was necessary because “many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their terms and timeline.”
Former Pixar staff members are very upset about the change. Sarah Ligatich, who used to work as an assistant editor on the episode, was upset about the choice. A long time ago, Disney wasn’t making great material as a business.
