CBBC removes 'non-binary' reference when airing Transformers: Earthspark

A year ago, the Transformers Earthspark cartoon made a comment that one of its characters identified with non-binary pronouns. In episode 17, Home Part 1, the Transformer character Nightshade tells a human friend, Sam, that 'he or she just doesn't fit who I am' and asks others to use 'they/them' instead. Nightshade added that the term 'non-binary' was a 'wonderful word for a wonderful experience.' And that was basically that.

Comic book creator Nick Roche, behind the comic book Scarenthood, posted; 'This has winded me. An edit on the Children's BBC @cbbc showing of Transformers Earthspark to remove the phrase 'non-binary'. The work that CBBC and Cbeebies do to show a better and more inclusive world can't be understated, and THAT'S why this stands out a mile. Just unkind.
