Disney has the shot to make a radical move and be a part of history.

Recasting Elliot Page as Prince Eric would be an enormous help for anyone questioning their own gender. A role model, for generations to come.

A well written male character is also a great role model for just normal guys also! Who would've thought. 

And also there's no need to worry about your prince on the attractiveness scale, they're really on it.

I sincerely want Disney to consider this as an option. Sincerely, a human that wants all people to be equal.

Regarding about trouble releasing the recasted version in trans-unfriendly countries: Has Disney ever just tried lying? "Yes, yes, Elliot Page is just Ellen Page's brother".

Alternatively, just release the non-recast version in those countries/areas.

Also the evil-capitalist version of this would be to release the non-recast and recast movies at the same time and just see which one of them makes more money.
