We know that Disney’s Finding Dory already features the first lesbian-voiced main character and the first lesbian-animated couple in a major feature, and now Ellen DeGeneres confirms that the movie will tackle transgender issues by introducing a sting ray transitioning. The talkshow host told USA Today: “There’s a stingray that’s becoming sting-Rhonda, so there’s a trans sting in the movie.”
“I think everything that we see in the media, whether it’s television or film or anything you see, should represent everything that’s happening in the world,” DeGeneres added at a press conference “I think everybody in the world should be seen and represented.”
