tv show 'Win Or Lose' transgender actress speaks out after Disney cuts her storyline

[GraceRandolph]

EXCLUSIVE: In 2020, Chanel Stewart was scrolling through X when she happened upon a post about how Pixar was looking for an authentic, 14-year-old transgender girl to voice a transgender teenager in a new animated series. 

Stewart, who at 14 had already logged a few commercials, knew instantly that it was her role of a lifetime. 

"I was exactly what they wanted to a T, and that's why it felt so right. It felt just so right," says Stewart, who is a transgender girl from Los Angeles. "I immediately asked my mom if I could do it, because I just felt like if I don't do this, it wouldn't make sense. You know what I mean?"

2020 seems like a lifetime ago when it comes to LGBT rights. It's sad really

That's the second time they cut out a trans storyline in two months. Trash company.

The people that were going to boycott this over having a trans storyline are still not gonna watch it unless they get a new actress...  So what exactly does Disney think they accomplished here.

By that logic no Disney film should explore death

Disney is more afraid of offending bigots than offending the LGBT community.

Yeah they want the most dollars possible and chances are lgbt us will still go see the movie even after they do this .

Disney is in such a weird position when it comes to LGBTQ rep. Netflix has never had any problems bringing queer or minorities storylines into their shows or movies. How come when Disney does it everybody seem to care all of a sudden? People are so weird tbh.

This is why I find the statement Disney is too w0k3!1!1!1!1 idiotic
