I Show What Disney Characters Would Look Like As Transgender, Because They Are Equally Great
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.

To whichever selfclaimed artist: Please just put more than 2 minutes of effort into your pics. Look to deviantart artists if you must, there are plent of TG sequences! Some are good, some are bad, but rarely this lazy made. And I take bad over lazy, because atleast they tried.
To those saying this is hust a guy in make up. That is everything wrong with the current perception of trans folk. Many transpeople simply don't have the privilege of passing. Yet in truth they are transgender also, and deserve the same respect. Transitioning isn't a magical body altering process, and the surgery needed to change ones body is expensive. For many trans folk this is their reality, looking like a woman in pants or looking like a man in a dress.
You forgot to change the body... but hey, I am not hating! I love these drawings, my favorite is pinocheo! ( I don't think I spelled that right)
trans people aren't...genderbends. this is not how to support trans people. i say this as a trans man.
Honestly, not impressed with the "change". I'm not sure that cutting their hair, or giving them long hair and eyeliner represents "trans". Most trans folk I've seen before and after pictures of are actually very different looking from their "original" selves and it's very clear from the changes effected that they clearly were whatever gender they thought they were... you only have to look on here for before an after pictures to see it. Their faces change, their eyes change, they were CLEARLY in bodies that had somehow not had in the right hormones/dna kick in in utero.
I only ageee with paranoidandroid on one thing: psuedo science really needs to go. Anyone's body will change under hormone treatment. It has nothing to do with having 'the right' hormones or dna kick (wtf) in utero. If we truly want to understand the origin of transgender people, and the science behind it, we need to let go of superstitious notions that they are somehow less validated if it turns out to be some chemical imbalance or due to hormones in our food and drinking water. Not saying that is how it is, but you have to be open to options and still accept them for who they are regardless of the outcome! Science does not function when people get in the way with their butt hurt. From both sides.

Why is it so taboo to state that a trans person suffers from mental illness? The Mayo Clinic defines mental illness as such: "Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior." I don't have a single negative feeling toward the trans community, but these people clearly suffer from mental illness. Just because it isn't a dangerous one (such as the sociopath), doesn't change the correlation. Can we stop glorifying mental illness? Please?
Sociopathy isn't per definition dangerous. I don't often say this but please stop with the arm chair psychology.

please stop this transgender madness! If someone is or wants to be, let them be. Don't force feed everybody on the planet. It's too much
This has become too much. I support everyone's right to be whom they are, but we don't need you to ruin things like childhood cartoons.
I'm sorry and I don't mean to come off as rude or all-knowing, but aren't these just genderbends? They've been done many times before, even prior to the LGBT+ spectrum becoming more mainstream. Genderbends are fun and just fine to do. I thought transgender was more than physical appearance? I am not trans and don't claim to be, but I thought gender was more a state of identity than just appearance. If somebody identifies as something else, it's not always immediately apparent until they present as that gender. That's because it's an identity. I may be a music lover, but I don't always wear band t-shirts and sing songs. I'm pretty sure that these here are just another series of Disney genderbends. Once again, that's fine, but I'm not quite sure if it fully shows the mental parts of being trans or any non-binary identity.
Stop turning everything into something Gay Transgender etc just stop
Okay, sorry but this is just lazy. Hardly anything is changed in these.. or is that the point? They should be drawn from scratch, not this laziness.
Damn millennial ruin everything. It started with the avocado toast and now this. Lol
I think all are these are examples of "Gender Swap" trope rather than transgender.
Dude can SOME things remain untouched? Like wow WE GET IT! Freedom of expression, tolerance and all that jazz but using cartoon characters to get your point across is borderline sick and it's just a bit much smh. Stop pushing this trans stuff into everyone (including children's) faces!
I was not aware the definition of trans has been changed to "wardrobe change and a new hairstyle".
I'm with you @Oana the only people that are TRULY Transgender are hermaphroditic and the % of the population that is less than % 0.001 this isn't a real issue.
Transgender and Intersex, (hermaphrodite), are NOT the same thing.

What exactly is great about mental illness? Hating your body to the extent that you would mutilate it with hormones and/or surgery is NOT normal or great.
While I might not agree with Bubba, KK, your comparison makes zero sense.

PLEASE STOP ARGUING! I don’t want people to get their feelings hurt because of other people! They were just trying to show people what the characters would look like if they were the other gender. I’m not trying to be mean I just want you guys to stop arguing!
I understand there were kind thoughts behind this, but I don't really think that showing transgender people simply in a feminine-masculine or masculine-feminine light is the best - it's still very binary. Transgender doesn't necessarily mean just trans-male or trans-female, transgender can also encompass non-binary and a-gender people etc who may not transition or alter their appearances (as well as some trans-male and trans-female people too), as you've portrayed the characters to. So I guess what I'm saying is that it would be good to include a bit more variety?
Is it just me or is this entire comments section like a minefield of opinions?
as a transgender person i have this to say: this sucks, this doesn't make me feel supported, if anything it makes me feel more ostracized, and based on what the bigots in the comments are saying, all you have done is made transgender people seem more ridiculous than anything else. like, genuinely, leave trans people alone.
Glad to see that by promoting transgenderism, you are reinforcing the stereotypes associated to the two sexes.
You really have hit an all-time low, haven't you? This content is utter b******t.
Love how left leaning folks go ape-s**t when you drop actual facts that discredit the ridiculous illusion of reality their attempting to whitewash society with. They preach tolerance yet if you don't see things exactly as they do then you are so quickly labeled (as @asf calls it) hateful alt right bigot. This is the definition of hypocrisy and also ignorance. Fighting to end stereotypes and closed-mindedness and labels, yet their to close-minded to consider their on biases and if I don't agree with their snowflake state of mind im stereotyped and labeled the worst of the worst. ASF do you even know what the so called Alt - right is? No you don't or you wouldn't have used that term. It's basically libertarian wing of the right with the view of not going to war unless attacked, not rebuilding if we do and economic view that globalization is bad. You have much to learn little on, but I'm I'm sure there is a participation trophy for you somewhere.
Tyler relax, the alt-right wasn't directed to you or anyone here but to 2 certain users that gave a link to those sites in their profilr. They are suspiciously absent in this discussion.

I honestly can't believe it. I went on this comment section yesterday, and no one else had commented yet. I come down today, and it's just a mjnefield of rudeness and hate. Everyone should be free to be who they are inside! Stop exploding at every little thing that doesn't fit into your narrow view of the world!
Equally great my foot! These are all stereotypes literally none of these make any sense this is super offensive and the person who made this can go to hell
This pisses me off! I hands downed it and did not open it. Stop trying to normalize this...and pushing off on people...'angry'
It's not ok to force a gay person to be straight. It's not ok to force a trans to be cis. Why is it ok to force a cis character to be trans?
That's my biggest issue with these. The trans movement is about embracing who you are, not forcing you to be something you're not.

I don't understand the format that these messages are posted, what is the order to it? Time line? Likes ? It doesn't make sense.
I'm really disappointed by a part of the bored panda community... Aren't we supposed to be tolerant and appreciate all the effort people make to be confortable with themselves and make the one who suffer confortable with themselves? But no, let's have a vision of the world where every difference must be hidden in order to make tiny mind people confortable. I guess some people just forgot the part where we are suppose to love each others and support each others and just rather being the one that throw stones...
I absolutley agree with you. It's sad that the gay and transgender posts are getting so much hate. Ben Smith usually comments in all of them spewing hate and misinformation.

Not impressed at all. There wasn't much change besides cutting off or adding a ponytail in most of them. Two thumbs down.
Dude can some things remain untouched? Like WE GET IT acceptance, tolerance and all that jazz but using children cartoons to push your transgender agenda is borderline sick and a bit much smh. STOP pushing this in everyone's face including children's. Be who you think you are but don't force everyone into accepting it or appreciating it too. Some of us are actually sane.
Basically just all in drag, aside from Pinocchio and Genie, but one's a puppet transformed by magic, the other's a phenomenally powerful magical super-being, so...
@KK sorry but no. Hermaphroditic people who's doctors and family had to choose between boy or girl and got the choice wrong are Transgender. End of story. It is scientific fact. And other argument is an emotional one and I don't play that nonsense. Drop mic...exist
@Tyle the f**k? Lol I know transgender people. Stay ignorant bigot.
