Abigail Thorn, a British actor, will portray the character &#8220;Ensign Eurus&#8221; in Disney&#8217;s upcoming streaming series, &#8220;The Acolyte.&#8221; This casting decision reflects Disney&#8217;s commitment to creating inclusive and agenda-driven content, especially for young audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Thorn, formerly known as Oliver &#8220;Olly&#8221; Thorn, recently transitioned and now identifies as a woman. This makes Thorn the second transgender actor to land a significant role in a Disney\/Lucasfilm production, following Talisa Garcia&#8217;s appearance in the now-canceled &#8220;Willow&#8221; sequel series.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Thorn, &#8220;The Acolyte&#8221; will also feature non-binary actor Amanda Steinberg, further expanding LGBTQ+ representation in the Star Wars universe.<\/p>\n<h3>Trans Activism and Support<\/h3>\n<p>Abigail Thorn gained popularity through their YouTube channel, &#8220;Philosophy Tube,&#8221; where they advocate for transgender rights and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-global-entity-of-forced-thought-project-veritas-releases-video-detailing-toxic-espn-workplace\/\" title=\"\u2018A Global Entity Of Forced Thought\u2019: Project Veritas Releases Video Detailing \u2018Toxic\u2019 ESPN Workplace\">discuss social issues<\/a>. Thorn&#8217;s activism extends beyond their online presence, as they recently came to the support of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.<\/p>\n<p>In a Twitter video, Thorn condemned fans who used their name to criticize Mulvaney&#8217;s performance. Thorn labeled such criticism as &#8220;white supremacist&#8221; and &#8220;misogynistic,&#8221; emphasizing the importance of supporting and uplifting transgender individuals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cAuthentic femininity\u201d\u2019 is a trap \u2013 please don\u2019t tear down Dylan Mulvaney using my name  <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pKvvDUE3jW\">pic.twitter.com\/pKvvDUE3jW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Abigail Thorn (@PhilosophyTube) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhilosophyTube\/status\/1660692823711072287?\">May 22, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Disney&#8217;s Commitment to Woke Politics<\/h3>\n<p>Disney&#8217;s decision to cast Abigail Thorn aligns with its reputation for promoting progressive and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/saturday-september-25th-2021\/\" title=\"Saturday | September 25th, 2021\">left-wing ideologies<\/a> in its products.
