    Encouraging the castration of minors at their request is evil and from the pit of hell. Walt Disney is spinning in his grave

    1. LESKO Brandon

      totally agree – its truly an evil company and needs to be put out of business, and these “leaders” jailed for life

      1. Michelle

        Nothing evil about being compassionate to trans people

        1. SayNOtowoke

          Being compassionate to “trans” people, would be to tell them that they are in delusion.

          1. Ryan

            We are NOT delusional. You’re the ones they are delusional for thinking that we don’t know.

      2. stephen

        LOL. What exactly have they done that would send them to prison for life? Offend your delicate sense of order in the world?

    2. Michelle

      No it’s compassionate and evidence based medical care. Also minors includes people who are 17 which is probably the main group who’s actually receiving surgeries. Younger minors are just on blockers and hrt

    3. billnyenotascienceguy

      Just another reason to go to Universal Studios.

    4. K Jay

      At least, post surgery, these folk will not be able to reproduce. RE “Don’t say gay”, what right do they have forcing their life choices on my children? Those bills have nothing about not saying gay. Only talking about it a responsible age. Is 6~8 years appropriate? I think not. Will not visit Disney parks ever again. Canceling Disney+.

  2. Minors’ brains are not formed like adults. They can’t comprehend long term consequences. This is pure evil! This will lead to many suicides. SHAME!

    1. Michelle

      No bigotry and transphobia like yours is what will lead to more suicides which the science shows.

      1. SayNOtowoke

        trans people are suicidal because they gave in to insanity.

    2. stephen

      It isn’t evil by any means. Showing some care and compassion to people would go a lot further than your way of simply ignoring the issue and hoping it just goes away.

  3. Karen Jackson

    I hope people wait until the age of 18 before any gender reassignment occurs. It is a life altering decision and should not be made by anyone underage.

    1. Michelle

      No, surgery should be available for older teenagers like 16 and 17

      1. Deb

        This is where Disney has lost it. With all the trouble they are having, why put this out there. I would imagine that any of these procedures and meds are covered by a health plan offered by Disney. Probably as an additional rider to the policy. Also remember that children are covered by their parent’s plan until they reach 26. The point is why even put this out there. There is no advantage for Disney to do this. This company worth billions, must have some of the most stupidest people working for them.

        1. Deb

          Upon checking transgender benefits are part of their healthcare package. It is also part of many insurance companies packages including mine. This really isn’t a story.

  4. Jose

    This is the epitomy of evil!

    1. Michelle

      No it’s compassion for trans people

      1. SayNOtowoke

        True compassion would be tell “trans” people that they ARE not the opposite gender, and to stop giving in to delusion.

    2. stephen

      If you think this is evil, boy have I got some depraved things out in the real world to show you.

  5. SP

    Disney get your head out of your ass! It’s not a hat!! Why do you continue to bow to 2% of the population? You are supposed to be in the business of entertaining children and families. Politics is not your arena. If parents are smart they will educate and discuss their child’s options if they have gender issues and wait until their brains have developed into an adults before allowing these permanent surgeries. Don’t give in to your child’s request just because you want them to like you. You are the parent and the mature person. If they still want to make changes after they become adults then fine but make them wait while you continue to nurture. I think Bob Chapek may be the Devil in disguise.

    1. Ss

      I agree!!!!

    2. Michelle

      We allow breast reductions for minors, and this is much the same. In the end its about compassion towards trans people, not devils that don’t exist.

      1. Kine

        We allow breast reduction surgery for some minors because their breast grow abnormally large for their bodies and create difficulties for them physically such as back problems or being physically active. Comparing this to gender reassignment is like comparing apples and walnuts. Both are food but not in the same ball park.

    Question, there is no news on Shiloh Jolie Pitt Who parents are actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Shiloh born a female identified herself as a boy and her parents raised her as a boy throughout Shiloh’s childhood years.
    Now she is in her early teenage years and may have possibly started hormonal prohibitors.
    Today at 15 years old Shiloh identifies herself as her birth gender a female. Shouldn’t this story be public? This is true validation on the possibility that children my change their minds later. For some children this could never be reversed.
    Unfortunately, many years later statistics may see show that this will cause more danger when a child makes this life altering decision such a young age.
    Im so sad for these kids are going through this what many believe is a trend.

    1. Catherine L Sweet

      I didn’t know this so thanks for telling people! This story needs to get out to more people! This is exactly what I was thinking-children should have to wait till they are adults. Some parents may even be doing it for their own sake. I, also, think this is a trend.

    2. Michelle

      “ identified herself as a boy and her parents raised her as a boy throughout Shiloh’s childhood years”

      This never happened, there is no evidence she ever identified as a boy, beyond dressing in a gender nonconforming way (which many girls and women do) and using “john” as a nickname when she was little.

      1. BeTheLight

        Ummm there are actually several articles and interviews that affirm Shiloh identified as a boy growing up and is now identifying as her birth gender, female. Just because it doesnt fit your narrative doesnt make it not true. There isnt just one box to be checked .. even trans people have a multitude of stories and outcomes – including changing their minds! Dont devalue Shilohs personal journey. Her story is just as important as anyone elses who struggles with these issues.

  7. LESKO Brandon

    this truly shows starkly the EVIL that is the left! This isnt about policies and positions – this is about GOOD vs EVIL!

    It is beyond time for the good citizens to rise up!

    1. Michelle

      No it shows that the right hates compassion and tolerance for trans people. Reading a storybook about how johnny has two dads isn’t evil!

      1. SayNOtowoke

        No, the agenda of the alphabet mafia is evil, and clearly you have bought fully into their lies.

  8. Mickeymouse3

    Sounds like a sick side of the left…If a parent pushes their sexuality, the kids pick up on it and says they are whatever mommy or daddy thinks they should be. Later, when the kid matures and has true feelings, they’ll be a mess. Good for Disney to help these parents out….NOT!

    1. Michelle

      “ If a parent pushes their sexuality, the kids pick up on it and says they are whatever mommy or daddy thinks they should be”

      This is exactly what the right is trying to do by restricting mention of LGBT people in classrooms. It’s not evil to read a storybook to children about how johnny has two dads and that’s okay. It’s about increasing tolerance and understanding not grooming

      1. SayNOtowoke

        No, it is about grooming. The falsehoods of the alphabet mafia destroys genuine human relationships.

  9. Lisa

    Chapek is the downfall of Disney, this is not what a business should be doing, This place was built on one mans dream and all are welcome, what gives you the right to change that. stay out of politics and stay out of a business you know nothing about, kids change their minds often and so do adults, its not up to you to phycologically make that decsion, you are not in that business you are in the business of entertainment. i fyou want to donate trying donating money to finding a cure of cancer for children,

    1. Michelle

      Disney is a company that was founded on moral values and compassion for trans people is a moral thing to do

      1. AndrewGiesecke

        And compassion for transpeople is not allowing the to mutilate and force chemicals against children. Me and my husband are appauled that you think going against nature is compassion. Just like abortion is saving children from the pain of the world. Your a stain on humanity for even thinking this is ok.

  10. AH

    When my son was youn, he thought he was a lion or wanted to be TRex. When he was years older, he understood that those wants were not real. I did not encourage him to think those things.

  11. Chris B

    If the people that still think this isnt a problem and still continue to vote for democrats who support this nonsense may they seek help quick. People need to start waking up and realize whats going on.

    1. Michelle

      What’s happening is that the regressive right is upset that people are becoming more accepting and compassionate towards trans people

      1. LGB

        Have you realized that you’re pretty much the only one in this comments section that is defending this? And there are plenty of people against it. But you have replied to almost all of them. Only you. That doesn’t mean “people” are becoming accepting of this. That means the majority of people are against this and the few (you) are shouting the loudest.

        1. Maria

          👏👏👏👏

  12. Dary

    It’s time to protest and burn crosses in front of Disney.

    1. Michelle

      Oh look a klansmen. Jesus would be ashamed of you

    2. D

      UH OH KKK Alert

    3. AndrewGiesecke

      No we dont do that either that is wrong as well this is probably a troll smk

    4. stephen

      That was some very well placed bait. Now back to your house under the local bridge.

  13. Daryl-Rhys

    Everyone blaming Chapek when clearly it was Bob iger who started this. He brought the politics in.

    1. Michelle

      This isn’t a political issue it’s a moral one, and disney has always stood up for morals like compassion and acceptance

      1. AndrewGiesecke

        Its not
        Moral michelle for parents to force there world view on their kids that it does physiological harm to a child

        1. Jay

          You mean like forcing kids to go to church, or not allowing for books featuring LGBTQIA+ characters to be read in school? Supporting your children’s identity is not forcing a world view on to them. If I told my child that they cannot wear something or play with something because it’s only meant for boys that would be forcing a world view. Allowing my child to be who they are and express themselves in the manner that makes them the most at peace with themselves isn’t forcing anything

  14. Kathy

    Its time Disney Vacation Club Members rethink their memberships!!!
    We are a large part of revenue!!!

  15. John D McKillip,Sr RT(R)

    Groomers and Disneyphiles, they disgust me!

    1. Michelle

      The groomers are republicans who want to ensure their children aren’t read books about johnny having two dads and the like because they’re terrified of the possibility that their child might be LGBT

      1. AndrewGiesecke

        No they want kids to to be kids and not be sexualized and me and my husband support them.stop making up stuff thats not true

  16. Susan Reece

    Please do not do this, Disney! Children don’t know at this age what all this even means. Childhood should be simple and fun, not trying to alter them into someone other than what God made them. It doesn’t matter who agrees or disagrees. God has the first and last word and He will.

    1. Michelle

      It’s about increasing tolerance not indoctrination. A storybook about how johnny has two dads and that’s okay isn’t an attempt to turn children LGBT

      1. SayNOtowoke

        Yes it is.

  17. Pat Mac

    If Disney really wanted to help parents and their children, then pay the workers a living wage and not be stuck at minimum wage for years. Give them great benefits that would include reassignment surgery up until their child reaches the age of 26. Noone here gives a crap if you want to change what God gave you or your children, but we don’t have to hear about it at a frickin theme park. When I was a kid, I was taught the three r’s. I didn’t even know if my teacher had a husband or kids or anything. It was not my need to know. Look, if a kid is raised in a gay home, they don’t think twice about it because that’s all they know, and that’s ok. Can we all go back to just living our best life and not worry so much what everybody is doing?

  18. Don

    How does a parent later tell their trans-gendered child they will never be able to procreate?

  19. Douglas Vitrano

    This makes me wanna cry seeing Disney become this way. Disney 100% should not ever, and I mean never be involved in Politics, LGBTQ+, and now gender reassignment/affirming surgeries!! Disney is turning their places, shows, and everything they into from escapism, to an absolute circus.

  20. tracy

    michelle’s name is really mike

  21. Kathy

    Beginning of the end.
    Procreation will become extinct!!!

    1. Bren

      And that is a bad thing for what reason? All these debates, all the hate towards each other. Last time I checked, only God has the right to judge us upon death’s door. Not you, not your neighbor, not a stranger. We’re supposed to be following God’s beliefs, and yet here we are being hateful, mean, righteous, and using his name in vain as a reason for the actions. So good, let’s become extinct! Maybe the earth will finally rise up and help God create intelligent beings who follow his words, not just pick and choose whatever they feel. Good bye humans.

    2. Connie

      So sad, why not let 8 year Olds drink alcohol, drive cars, vote or get handed the check at a dinner table full of adults and expect to pay???
      Hum a thing called law. So done with Disney.
      Put effect into helping children suffering from cancer, a disease they or their parents didn’t ask for!
      I guess Disney doesn’t have the means for that!

  22. Lain

    Trans children are like vegan cats, we all know who’s making the decisions. If they want to transition, fine, wait until they are adults to do so. Any company has no business in any employees private life just as you and the government have no business in mine. You people need to try and understand what you read. Why do 96% of the population have to bend to the will of 4%? This is so ridiculous.

  23. pedro ny

    so sick. those who promote this evil will one day pay dearly. God is not OK with this and he has warned of the punishment for hurting children. we will never go to disney or support any business with this satanistic company.

    I am a democrat who has a female cousin that identified herself as a boy until the age of 13 now 16 she is all female and so happy she did not have a permanent change.
    I have both a son and a daughter who played together sometime with each other’s toys most of the 90% played with their own toys what happened to instinct isn’t that science is it wrong that most boys like cars Ang girls like dolls I never forced my kids to choose this is not healthy for minors
    This is an adult problem keep the kids out of it please

    1. AMC

      Hey Michelle, can you read this one please!

  25. NJ

    I’m responding to most Democrats like me do not agree with minors making a life altering decision that’s permanent
    Most democrats don’t consider theirs selves Democrats anymore unfortunately we lost our party to liberals and most of us are changing to independent or republicans I speak to many friends and family members we are union members and we are forced to be Democrats NOT ANY MORE

    1. Mar (Xe/Xhe)

      I changed from republican to Democrat because I hate that the party is controlled by a sexist and racist old man.

      1. With “pronouns” like that you were never a republican… you are clearly the special snowflake nobody ever wanted.

        1. That’s cute, keep following the racist off the cliff so you lose elections you should of won

          1. franklin

            Did you seriously just list your pronouns on a comment? Let me guess you also have them listed on your twitter bio right?

      2. Mason

        Joe Biden sniffs young women’s hair , said if you don’t vote for me then you ain’t black, and did the eulogy for a KLANSMAN’S funeral he also considered the man his mentor.

    I’m tired of seeing gays on TV. My kids are being brainwashed by a channel I would have liked them to watch!. Please Disney be traditional not liberal. I have a choice to raise my kids the way I want to!!! The LGBT has an agenda to take over and take that right from me. That’s not going to happen. We need to stop voting for democrats, they are liberals. Wake up people. Family union is important and they are trying to break that! Stop imposing gays everywhere I look. I have a right as well. Live ur life u gays but don’t ever say you have the right to teach my kids before I do and this includes Disney! Never going again. And my kids will know why. People were compassionate and fine with gays living their life. It’s now that they want more and more and more. Stop trying to brainwash and confuse the majority that can’t learn gender role because Disney and media and teachers don’t have a firm foundation to their childhood. Stop hurting us people who have kids and want to teach them out way because they are our kids. Stop trying to break the sole purpose on our values and beliefs of procreation. Leave us ALONE.

  27. Amber

    I understand inclusion but if that’s what Disney is striving for then include EVERYONE! Where is the Disney princess with Downs Syndrome or the prince in a wheel chair? How about one who signs or is mute? I am an avid Disney fan or should I say was. We were just there in the beginning of March snd had a fantastic time! I understand the need to include LGBTQ community but they are not going about it the right way. Cancelled Disney plus, Hulu, sold my Disney stocks and no more Disney trips.

  28. Kay sue

    This sentence is Disgusting and perverted in that the WORD “children” is used . These innocent kids have NO clue about Gender and being anything BUT a kid . ANY adult who tries to force them into something they aren’t ready for is abusive . SHAME on Disney for stepping on what is a Parents decision for what’s best for their child.

    1. Jay

      I knew at the age of four that my physical body didn’t match who I was inside. You have to be incredible naive to think that children don’t know anything about gender. No adult tries to force anything on their child. Parents of transgender children follow their child’s lead in letting them express themselves. They don’t just seek out surgery once their child says they are trans. First of all you would be hard pressed to find a surgeon that will perform gender realignment on a minor. Second of all gender realignment typically only comes after years of psychological therapy to ensure it is the best decision for the individual. Disney is not making any decisions for parents, they are just providing the insurance coverage if that is a choice that those covered choose to make. Don’t forget adults are still someone’s child, and adult children can be covered on their parents insurance until the age of 26

      1. Michelle

        “No adult tries to force anything on their child.” Walt Heyer, who has a book and a website about his detransitioning, said his grandma who babysat him had a desire to make him a granddaughter. This caused confusion, sadness, and regret for years. I’ve also heard that not getting enough psychological counseling is a common problem with gender reassignment.

  29. Mason

    I truly get what they mean by reimagine tomorrow.

  30. Dawn

    Gee, I wonder how many of the people on here have health insurance policies that actually do the exact same thing? LOL, it’s part of the health care policy.

  31. Paul

    And this disgusting practice is yet another reason why my family cancelled our Disney vacation in May. There are 2 genders people…follow the science. What you are doing and promoting is an abomination.
