Disney has reportedly yanked an episode about a transgender athlete from its Marvel animated series “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” in a sign that the political tides have now shifted.
According to the gaming and entertainment website Polygon, the episode titled “The Gatekeeper,” is about Brooklyn, a transgender classmate of Moon Girl, and a “narrow-minded coach” who wants to ban the character from playing in a girl’s volleyball game, another example of how the trans agenda has been inserted into cartoons and programming targeting kids.
“Brooklyn, who is voiced by actor Indya Moore, identifies as trans to her peers in the episode. ‘I’m trans, my very existence breaks Greer’s rules,’ she tells her teammates before breaking down into tears,” according to Polygon which reports that the character “wears Pride-themed kneepads and has a ‘Trans is beautiful’ sticker on her water bottle.”

“The episode’s color palette is saturated in hues from the transgender flag. Its themes of prejudice, exclusion, and finding support through progressive allies is unmissable,” according to the outlet.
The episode was set to air in 2025 on the Disney Channel during the show’s second and final season.
Creators who worked on the episode bemoaned the decision to shelf it in since-deleted posts to the social media platform Bluesky, a safe space for thin-skinned leftists whose fragile feelings are hurt by the free speech on X.
“One of the projects (episode) I worked on is getting shelved because of which party that won the recent election,” storyboard artist Derrick Malik Johnson wrote before deleting the post, Gizmodo reported. “It breaks my heart knowing this impactful and amazing [episode] is now about to be consider a lost media episode.”
Disney’s pulling of the trans episode drew a mixed reaction from X users.
Disney should be ashamed of themselves for canning this episode. You don’t get to approve approve approve something and then destroy it at the last minute, shattering the crews hard work and hopes. https://t.co/40QsPNhRMx

if an episode got this far, it was approved multiple times by multiple divisions, only to suddenly be struck down at the last second? Total break down of process and spitting on your team’s careful/thoughtful work. S&P approved this ep. It was good to go.

Is Disney finally starting to see sense when it comes to the trans debate? This topic has no place in Children’s programming, notwithstanding the fact that the messaging itself is just plain wrong on so many levels. https://t.co/ptvHbhVOo7

Good. They need to stop pushing mental illness on children.

Nobody wants this shit for their kids. Woke idiots are not the majority although they think they are.
