What about Asexual People both on the trans or romantic spectrum? A lot of us get ignored, conformed, and unacknowledged especially in media for children. Merida form Brave fits with this category yet Disney had to make Elsa to overshadow Merida because of the problem of conforming her to a cis-gender princess which they have done over and over until our faces are frozen.

If Disney wanted to actually benefit the LGBTQA and neuro-diverse communities of children they would give Ursula the same treatment Maleficent got. They would play Proud of Your Boy at their LGBTQA events to honor Howard Ashman who died of AIDS. They would have to get rid of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and hire people not as tokens but as good artisans of writing and animation. Netflix should also cancel Atypical and Big Bang Theory for how Autistic people are portrayed too to make the playing field equal.
