A never-to-be-aired episode of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur that somehow made its way to YouTube?

What should we do about this?

Would be a shame if someone downloaded it. Imagine. Something so controversial an incoming Presidential administration intimidated its company into pulling it from the air lineup, just sitting on your hard drive. In America! What a disaster that would be for our great country. Taking the product of hard-working artists and giving the corporation that produced it no way to make money from this product, or keep it from the children.

Crew members from Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur have announced that an episode from Season 2 A that was about a trans character in the show and it explored LGBT+ issues has been shelved by Disney because of the current United States political climate

The episode title is ¨The Gatekeeper¨ and takes place before ¨Wish-Tar¨ since the Beyonder is still narrating the villain's backstories.

>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.
