Back in 2020, actress Chanel Stewart already had a few commercials under her belt but was in search of new work. She stumbled upon a post that Pixar was looking for a 14-year-old transgender girl to voice a transgender teen for one of their new series.

Voice actor Chanel Stewart has said she felt “disheartened” to learn that a storyline involving her character’s gender identity in a new Pixar series had been removed by Disney. Earlier this week, Disney confirmed that a planned storyline involving a trans character in the upcoming Disney+ show Win Or Lose would be removed from the final edit.
