Disney to require transgender actor to play lead role in 'The Little Mermaid' stage play

Disney to require transgender actor to play lead role in 'The Little Mermaid' stage play

Earlier this year, Disney released a casting announcement for the musical stage play "The Little Mermaid," which stated that the heroine Ariel and the hero Alec must be played by transgender people.

Recently, some netizens discovered that Disney secretly modified the wording. Although it deleted the "transgender" requirement, it also deleted the requirements for men and women.

Judging from Disney's actions, it seems that it is still insisting on finding a "gender-inclusive" cast, but is using word games to make the conditions more hidden and easier to manipulate.
