The streaming giant’s children’s catalog includes several programs with transgender themes, while past social media posts by a Netflix executive expressing support for trans issues have resurfaced. Elon Musk has since called for a boycott of the company.

A Netflix executive’s past social media posts about transgender people, including children, have come to light, and some conservatives have grown furious at the streaming giant pushing „woke Democrat gender ideology” on kids.

A growing campaign to oust Netflix executives erupted on social media after billionaire Elon Musk, conservative account Libs of TikTok and other online influencers had unearthed a series of pro-transgender content for children.

One such show, Dead End: Paranormal Park, which premiered on Netflix in 2022, is an animated series featuring Barney, a boy who runs away to live in a haunted house after his grandmother refuses to accept his gender identity. Other main characters in the show — which carries a 7+ age rating — include a bisexual, autistic Pakistani-American teenage girl and a gay Vietnamese-American boy who is Barney’s love interest.

The series was canceled after two seasons. However, a clip from the show in which the main character comes out as transgender went viral after it was shared by conservative activist Libs of TikTok. The account also noted that the show had been promoted on Netflix Kids.

“OMG. Dead End: Paranormal Park on Netflix is promoting transgenderism to CHILDREN,” Libs of TikTok wrote. “This show is marketed to SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS.”

Musk responded „This is not OK” to a viral clip from the show , featuring a character coming out as trans.

Later, the billionaire launched a movement on X (formerly Twitter), calling for a boycott of Netflix.

He also shared a cartoon depicting the Trojan horse entering Troy — a metaphor for how Netflix is allegedly influencing American youth with “woke” ideology.

“Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” Musk posted.

Meanwhile, Libs of TikTok shared dozens of posts from X users showing screenshots of their canceled Netflix subscriptions.

Another Netflix kids show, „Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City,” promoted transgender drag queens, and Netflix’s „The Baby-Sitters Club” featured a child character shaming doctors for referring to a trans, child patient by biological pronouns.

Netflix’s „Transformers: Earthspark” has also come under fire for pushing the term „nonbinary” despite being geared to children as young as 7, while „Monster High: The Movie” features teenage characters explaining their preferred pronouns.

„Absolutely disgusting!! Netflix is pushing woke Democrat gender ideology and ‘non-binary’ propaganda onto kids,” Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., posted in response to a viral clip.

One Netflix executive’s views may have played a significant role in the company’s inclusion of sensitivity-themed content for children.

Wade Davis, Vice President of Inclusion Strategy, has been outspoken about trans issues on social media, posting in July a scolding message about a transphobic Uber driver.

„Identifying within the trans spectrum challenges the heteronormative binary & anytime you challenge the standards of a nation – you are in danger (hence the rage, hatred and violence trans folks experience) — so when your existence challenges the status quo are not a imitation,”

– Davis posted in 2020.

In a 2020 company podcast, Mr. Davis was described as “an educator on gender, race, and sexual orientation equality.”

Prior to joining Netflix in 2023, Davis briefly played in the NFL and served as the NFL’s inaugural LGBT inclusion consultant. He also served as a surrogate for President Barack Obama, according to his Netflix company bio.

In 2019, Davis posted that being trans is about „identity not sex,” adding „trans folks understand that they are being treated differently from how they identity btw the ages of 3 & 5 & adults force gender on kids from birth.” Davis has also criticized gay people whom he says have „failed” the trans community.

„The gay community (including me to some extent) has failed the trans community… Failed. And left them behind,” Davis posted in 2017.

Netflix did not immediately respond to a series of questions about Davis, including a list of programs he has worked on and whether he has a role in planning content.
