My bad. This is all I read: “Pixar is casting a youth voice-over role for an upcoming animated project

My generation will be dead and gone in another 20-30 years, and everyone can carry on however they want. I don't see myself ever jumping on the "transgender" bandwagon. Just does not compute as anything other than a mental illness.
If parents do that, I say that is their choice. My mother took me and my older brother to see Not Another Teen Movie. At the time I was not 17 so my mother took me. Watching the movie with a number of the sex and nudity jokes in it, she said she wouldn't have let us go, if she knew what was in this movie. Mind you, she loved watching South Park with us.

The only problem I see, censorship creates an urge. Censorship whether by your parents or companies, create a challenge. I remember thinking I wanted to see The Interview as a middle finger to North Korea. I didn't, but I'm sure many wanted to. Also how many kids watched a TV show or listened to music just because their parents said not to. It is a fact that Parental Advisory albums typically sold better than ones without.

Say it with me: Virtue. Signaling.

This whole "stay in your lane" acting stuff is nonsense and I think deep down everyone knows it. But IF a company is going to feature a transperson right now, this moment, after what happened with Apu, they have no other choice. My choice would be not to bother but reread my first sentence.
