The banned Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur trans episode

Perhaps you want to watch a 22 min children's cartoon episode about a trans girl overcoming adversary with the help of her friends (and then you cry about this*).

*The crying is a recommendation, just to be clear. It's a happy ending and the crying is because of that. Crying enjoyers, pspspsps.

Edit: see https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sY88ZH6gLf6cKotI2o0ut-5rI1w18YZu/view instead! Thank you @bkmaysey

The original archive.org link below stopped working :(

BTW I'm calling this emotional hurt/comfort, emphasis on the comfort (for those who are interested in whump labels).

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down
