I'm an Art Director in NYC, and like millions of you I grew up watching Disney movies. I love them and always will as they talk about love, freedom, and transformation.

Growing up, I realized that they don't include a very important category: transgender people. People who more than anyone else know the meaning of and seek for that love, freedom and transformation portrayed by Disney.

So I asked myself: What if the most famous movies were to be told as a transgender story? What if they could use their power and following to help tear down the stigmas and taboos about the LGBTQ community?

I'm using all I employ at my job every day - Photoshop and a design tablet - to (hopefully) allow for this happen. Or at least break the tip of the iceberg.

    A little sexist that pink makes him female but points for effort

    But in the original movie the genie dressed in drag multiple times and he still looked WAY better than this... the artist should have done more research

    The pink also juxtaposes Disney making him blue and implying that makes him male.

    Bruh. Genies are androgynous anyway. They take the form that they desire.

    I think it's because transgender women (at the beginning of their transition) start from there. Before any hormone support.
