The concept of "Win Or Lose" originated from one fateful meeting and two very different perspectives from Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates when they where working on Toy Story 4.

Disney Pulls Transgender Storyline from Pixar Television Animation ‘Win or Lose’ Streaming Series 

Pixar Television Animation's original animated series Win or Lose will no longer include a transgender storyline in a later episode. The character remains in the show, but a few lines of dialogue that referenced gender identity are being removed. A source close to Win or Lose said the studio made the decision to alter course several months ago.

A spokesperson for Disney confirmed that the story arc was removed and provided the following statement to THR: “When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.”

Chanel Stewart the transgender actress who voiced the trans character has said she is “very disheartened” by the situation.

“[They said] my character would now be a cis girl, a straight cis girl.” “I was very disheartened. From the moment I got the script, I was excited to share my journey to help empower other trans youth. I knew this would be a very important conversation. Trans stories matter, and they deserve to be heard.”

Gender identity has become a charged and divisive topic across the United States, especially around youth and sports. Most recently, Disney Television Animation's series Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur made headlines after some who worked on the show took to social media to say Disney banned the release of an episode focused on a recurring transgender character. The company denied that the episode was “banned” and said the decision to hold on releasing the episode was made more than a year ago and was not because of the transgender character inclusion. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney is far from alone in grappling with potential fallout from politically charged content in TV and Film. All of Hollywood is bracing for what could be a tumultuous four years under the Trump administration. President-elect Donald Trump, who won in a sweeping victory last month, has routinely criticized Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts, and it’s been widely reported that a number of businesses have started to pull back on DEI programming, a trend that underrepresented groups fear will only continue. Top media execs have already met with Trump, including Apple’s Tim Cook, while Netflix’s Ted Sarandos is scheduled to meet with him at Mar-a-Lago today
