This is what Disney has deleted from Pixar's Win or Lose. This beautiful, moving, relatable sequence that would've meant so much to so many kids for years to come was not worth the risk of controversy to them.

Trans art is being censored. Our stories are being erased.

So I want people to see this.

Leaked storyboard animatic from a deleted storyline in the upcoming Pixar Disney+ series Win or Lose. The animatic depicts Kai, a transgender teen baseball player, nervously deliberating which gendered bathroom to use. After oblivious encouragement from a friend, she enters the ladies', and after another friend compliments her headband, she looks in the mirror feeling euphoric and happy. Then a little girl with a cast enters and struggles to use the tap. Kai helps, but then starts feeling overwhelmed with fear and dysphoria (depicted as her reflection transforming into Picasso-esque cubism, and then into a male bathroom sign stick figure) as the little girl looks confused by her voice. She runs out of the bathroom and hides. Her father calls her on her cell phone, and after calling her "son", her face is shown as shattering and falling on the ground. Finally, Coach Dan, her baseball coach, comes and sits with her, and gives her a reassuring and supportive pep talk. They exchange a secret handshake fist bump.

“The new study suggests that when too much mitochondrial damage is detected in brain cells known as sleep-control neurons, they trigger sleep. These neurons act like circuit-breakers, says Gero Miesenböck at Oxford University, one of the paper’s lead authors, tripping the brain into sleep before too many electrons build up. Sleep simultaneously restores the balance of electrons and allows the mitochondrial damage to be repaired.”

#Pixar, are you listening?
