Disney Pixar's new animated series Win or Lose has received a mixed reception following the decision to remove a storyline featuring a trans character, Kai, voiced by transgender actress Chanel Stewart. Critics varied in their response, with some praising the show's heartfelt approach while others condemned the decision as cowardly. Despite a petition with over 7,000 signatures advocating for the character's reinstatement, the series debuted without any acknowledgment of LGBTQ+ themes, raising concerns about representation and empathy for trans youth in media.
A bit of compassion toward a trans child, and other people who might see themselves or their loved ones in her, would have gone a long way right now.
Disney has evidently decided such empathy should have its limits.
