An actress on Disney's streaming service is encouraging The Walt Disney Company to have trans princesses, or princes, in new movies.
Stand-up comedian Margaret Cho made the remarks during a press junket promoting the latest Disney original movie, “Prom Pact.”
The Daily Wire explains:
During the 54-year-old actress' interview with Times of India, the LGBTQ activist described her role in the movie as “a Queer character in the film who's somebody that the kids look up to, which I think is really amazing,” and said it's “absolutely” time for a lead LGBTQ character in a Disney movie.
“I would love to see them everywhere,” Cho said. “I would love to see trans characters and different types of people in roles of like Disney Princess, Disney Prince and Disney everything.”
“I think this would be really important and it's a move towards the future,” she added. “It's a move towards who we are. I think it's really admirable and really exciting.”
The TV-14 movie first aired on Disney Channel on March 30 and was somewhat edited for broadcast, the outlet noted. A “slightly longer” version of the film then streamed on Disney+ “with some more explicit dialogue,” according to IMDb.
Disney's films and series have increasingly included trans and non-binary characters.
Cho added Disney's commitment to inclusion was a major part of why she wanted to take the role.

In keeping with the percentage in the population at large, there would be .05% gay and trans characters in a movie. So if there are 20 characters in the story, there would be .0005 gay and trans actors. Which is…what, one actor with a non-binary little finger?
With the spectacular success of Bud Light, what can possibly go wrong with this!?
It’s sad that a company known for children’s and family entertainment must now be screened for inappropriate sexual content.
What part of woke=broke can’t they understand?
Yeah, go ahead on that! We’ll turn Disney into Disno!
A trans princess? Why not??? It can join in with the same success as “Lightyear”.
And help Disney dig itself deeper into the abyss.
