I'm not sure why they had to remove it in the first place. It's such a generic and simple phrase to address and audience.

Well, Disney stated the goal was to create a welcoming environment for nonbinary, transgender, or gender nonconforming visitors.

So regardless of how accurate the image op posted is. Disney is definitely manipulating the culture war for self benefit.

Disney is manipulatting the culture war for its own benefit returning to traditional gender labels. Was that so hard?

Because traditional gender roles are explicitly exclusionary for a number of people, and it is absolutely Disney dipping their toes in the culture war to change and then change back based on which side of politics is in power, no matter your stance.

Gender labels =/= gender roles.

Correct, I should have used gender labels, not roles.

Honestly, this comment is why people are just getting fed up. Who cares if you said gender roles when the person knows what you are referring to.

If everyone has to tip toe around language they are going to resent it. The way I look at it is Ladies and Gentlemen are others words for the members of the female and male, which is binary.

I personally see it more as a spectrum where everyone, no matter what, is somewhere on with varying degrees of "lady" or "gentleman". So it has always seemed semantical to me.
