Things at Disney are changing at breakneck speed in recent years, and this is something that not everyone likes. A few months ago the Disney + platform decided to withdraw some classics such as ‘Dumbo’ or ‘Peter Pan’ for racist content. Now the controversy has erupted in social networks after it was known that the fairy godmother of the Cinderella movie that Amazon Prime Video is preparing will be of a non-binary gender . The film will be released in September and it is sure to give a lot to talk about.
Actor Billy Porter will play the role of fairy godmother in the new remake. In social networks there are those who celebrate that a black and homosexual actor plays a fairy godmother in a movie as important as Cinderella, and they consider it a great step for the LTBIQ + community . However, there are also those who reject it.

The truth is that there are opinions for all tastes, and the director of the film, Kay Cannon, has decided to respond to the criticism with a very forceful phrase: “Magic has no gender .” In addition, it ensures that the role of fairy godmother fits perfectly with Billy Porter . The idea is to tell a completely renewed and diverse version of Cinderella.
The protagonist of the film will be Camila Cabello. As for the plot, it will revolve around the life of an ambitious young woman who pursues dreams that at first seem impossible to fulfill. However, she is not willing to give up, so she struggles to make them come true with the help of her fairy godmother.

What is non-binary gender?
Before defining what is non-binary genre, the first thing is to know what binary genders are. They are spoken of when referring to the man or the woman. Therefore, non-binaries are those whose gender identity does not fit between the male and female genders .
Those who belong to this category do not identify with binary genders , and several types can be differentiated:
- Fluid: the person does not manage to identify with a single sexual identity but passes through seasons between several.
- Polygender: the person identifies with two or more genders.
- Demi gender: the person partially identifies with a certain gender.
- Aggender: the person does not identify himself within any gender.
- Androgynous: the identity of the person is between the binary genders, male and female.
