Disney has decided to remove a transgender storyline from its upcoming animated series Win or Lose. The series, which revolves around the Pickles, a co-ed middle school softball team, centers on their journey toward a championship game over the course of one week. Each episode highlights the life and perspective of a different character, including players, parents, coaches, and umpires.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the character involved in the storyline will still appear in the show, but references to their transgender identity have been removed. A Disney spokesperson explained, “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.”
The decision to cancel the transgender storyline was made several months ago, although Disney has declined to provide additional details regarding the reasons behind the change.
While this decision may be welcomed by many parents, it doesn’t change the fact that Disney has been aggressively promoting the LGBT agenda to children over the past few years. In 2022, Disney released Strange World, a film featuring a teen homosexual romance, which failed to perform well at the box office. That same year, Disney voiced strong opposition to Florida’s Parental Rights Law, which they misleadingly labeled the “Don’t Say Gay” law, before ultimately backing down after Governor Ron DeSantis threatened to revoke their special privileges in Orlando.
Furthermore, a recent investigation by the O’Keefe Media Group revealed that Disney had been promoting pride events for children that included inappropriate content, such as fully naked men on bikes. Last year, an expose also uncovered one of Disney’s marketing directors boasting about plans to push LGBT-themed messaging to children in an effort to recruit them to the progressive cause.
Despite this recent change, Disney’s past actions reveal a continued push for progressive ideology in its content, especially aimed at young audiences.
