They're referring to Disney's decision to change a trans character to cis in the Pixar show Win or Lose. While it's pretty clear that Trump being elected played a part, as it happened in December, Trump wasn't even in office yet, so this was Disney being transphobic in anticipation of the incoming fascist overlords. Not really the same situation at all.

Never heard of that. Not surprised it didn't spark more outrage. Kimmel on the other hand is a household name.

okay, so completely unrelated to the topic at hand? I feel better about being confused, then. Thanks!

Win or Lose is apparently the title of a different show. I've never heard of it either.

it's actually really good. Short sweet 8 episodes.

All about the same day but from the perspectives and lives of different people and the different challenges they face. Anxiety, confidence, responsibility, maturity... I am pissed that they altered one of the episodes regarding a trans kid and their fears of being true to their authentic self to instead a sort or stress of living up to expectations... but still it's worth the watch.

Especially if you have kids.
