Back in 2020, actress Chanel Stewart already had a few commercials under her belt but was in search of new work. She stumbled upon a post that Pixar was looking for a 14-year-old transgender girl to voice a transgender teen for one of their new series.

Transgender actress Cancel Stewart was cast in Disney’s Win or Lose to voice a transgender teenage girl, but the storyline was unfortunately chopped off, leaving her disappointed. The audition call announced by Pixar was looking for an authentic trans girl for the role in the animated series.

Chanel Stewart, a transgender actress who voices a character in Pixar’s Win or Lose, has spoken out after Disney removed the show’s transgender storyline. The decision, which eliminated dialogue referencing gender identity, has left Stewart “very disheartened” as she emphasized the importance of trans representation in media.
