In a further demonstration of its determination to embrace Wokism to its ultimate consequences, Disney has decided to change the name of its fairy godmothers to one that it considers "more inclusive". Therefore, the staff of the Bibbidi Bobbidi boutiques will be given a neutral name: instead of "fairy godmothers in training", as they were known until now, they will be "fairy godmother apprentices".
"In this way, staff members who do not identify as female will still be able to be part of the process of dressing and styling the children without having to refer to themselves as a female Disney character," notes the company's specialized blog Streaming the Magic.

The change will take effect on August 25, when these salons, which give makeovers to children between the ages of 3 and 12 to transform them into princesses or knights, will reopen. Apparently, those who did not identify themselves as women found it very annoying to be called "fairy godmothers in practice".
Disney and its 'woke' race
In recent times, it seems that Disney has put aside magic to embrace the postulates of woke dictatorship. The company is especially hard at work when it comes to gender identity. Last year it eliminated the use of the phrase "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" in its parks; it limited the greeting to an aseptic "good afternoon, friends," perhaps on the assumption that children come to its facilities thinking about gender theories rather than having a good time with their favorite characters.
It's not the only cession woke from what was once the dream factory. A year ago, the company included the gender-neutral prefix "Mx." when creating or updating a My Disney Experience profile. Previously, this app only included the binary gender prefixes and the "Dr." option when registering. We assume that someone in charge at the multinational company understood that children were especially concerned about being able to fill out the Disney forms in gender neutral.
