Netflix Cancels Kids Show Featuring Non-Binary Bison Who Uses They/Them Pronouns

Netflix recently canceled a children’s animated show featuring a non-binary bison who insists on using they/them pronouns. 

“Ridley Jones” premiered in 2021 and just released its fifth and final season. The show is rated TV-Y, meaning it’s aimed at a very young audience, including children from ages 2-6. The series follows a girl named Ridley who lives in a magical museum with her mother and grandmother. She’s accompanied by her non-binary bison Fred who has two “dad mummies.”

Creator Chris Nee, a lesbian and mom, said of the series launch in 2021: “I am here to change the world. Or retire trying. I know what it is to be ‘othered’. My job is to show the world as I want it to be.”

People strongly reacted to episode 8 of season 5, “Herd Day.” This episode focuses on the non-binary bison discussing pronoun usage. Cyndi Lauper voices Fred’s grandmother. 

Fred says, “My heart says that the way I feel most myself is to go by the name Fred. That’s because I’m nonbinary and Fred is the name that fits me best. And I also use ‘they’ and ‘them,’ because calling me a she or a he doesn’t feel right to me.” This inspires the little bison’s Grandma Dottie to apologize to Fred for using a previous name and pronouns.

Twitter erupted with reactions from accounts that accused the show of attempting to foist radical left-wing gender theory on preschoolers. 

“Don’t tell me there is not an agenda. Netflix has done it again. This show is for preschoolers,” one user posted. “Bye Netflix.”

“An actual kid’s show on Netflix. They’re coming for your kids,” Libs of TikTok shared.

Nee addressed the show’s cancellation last week.

“Doesn’t surprise me that Netflix has quietly dumped the first preschool show that has a non-binary character coming out,” Nee shared in a tweet on March 8.

“Oh and yes, this is the end of the series. They cancelled us after what they just put out. They threw all the specials, the xmas special (now?), the feature length special, the CYNDI LAUPER episode and just quietly slipped it onto the service. So this is it,” she continued

In another tweet, Nee wrote, “…Show your kids. It’s on Netflix. It’s important. It’s a … roadmap for coming out but also for having someone else tell you they’ve changed their pronouns and/or name.”

Comer Believes 6 Or 7 Biden Family Members Involved In Foreign Business ‘Schemes’

A lead Republican investigator now claims several members of the Biden family are involved in shady business ventures abroad, sharing in the past 24 hours a larger headcount than previously known.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) hit the media circuit Wednesday evening and Thursday morning to provide an update after his committee received access to bank records and suspicious activity reports.

In an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night, Comer said evidence of influence peddling runs deep into President Joe Biden’s family tree.

“At the end of this I think we’re gonna see there are probably six or seven Biden family members that were involved in various business schemes around the world,” Comer said.

The chairman said he knows their identities but declined to name them.

When Comer appeared for another interview on Thursday morning with Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, her show displayed a graphic showing Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James, and five blacked-out frames, each adorned with a big question mark.

President Biden has denied having involvement in the business dealings of his son Hunter and brother James. Federal prosecutors are investigating Hunter Biden over his foreign business dealings in countries such as China and Ukraine, tax affairs, and more. Though Hunter Biden has said he expects to be cleared of wrongdoing, Republicans have raised concerns about influence peddling, especially any that may include the president, spurred in part by findings on an abandoned laptop.

Democrats have raised concerns that their GOP colleagues are focused on digging up “political opposition research” to benefit former President Donald Trump, but Comer told Bartiromo his team has gathered evidence showing a “concerning pattern to get suspicious amounts of money from our adversaries around the world.”

Earlier this week, Comer announced the Treasury Department gave his panel access to suspicious activity reports, which financial institutions can use to flag possible criminal behavior, for the Biden family and their associates’ business transactions.

House investigators also received access to bank records that Comer says revealed John “Rob” Walker, who has been identified as a business associate of Hunter Biden in a venture with executives from CEFC China Energy, received a $3 million wire from two individuals associated with the Chinese Communist Party about two months after Joe Biden left the office of vice president in 2017.

Comer said Walker’s account started transferring money within a day to accounts for three different Biden family members, including one “new” member who had not previously been tied to suspected influence schemes.

“What we’re finding out, Maria, is this Biden family business scheme involved a lot of members of the Biden family, none of whom had any experience in Chinese energy or Ukrainian energy deals,” he said.

Comer said he is so far familiar with about 12 or 13 transactions, and his team plans to request more bank records. “We’re making a lot of progress in this investigation, and it doesn’t look good for the Biden family,” he added.
