Disney Faces Backlash for Pulling Trans-Inclusive 'Moon Girl' Episode

An episode of 'Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur' featuring a transgender storyline has reportedly been shelved due to political sensitivities.

The episode, titled 'The Gatekeeper,' centers on a trans character, Brooklyn, facing discrimination in a school volleyball setting.
Social media posts from the show's animators suggest the episode was pulled following the 2024 U.S. presidential election results.
Disney reportedly decided to withhold the episode to respect parental roles in discussing trans rights with children.
The episode has leaked online, with Disney enforcing copyright claims to remove it from various platforms.
Disney's history of censoring LGBTQ content is highlighted, drawing criticism amid recent political developments.
