On 10 June 2016, comedian Ellen DeGeneres sat down with reporters to discuss about her new movie, Finding Dory. During the interview, DeGeneres addressed a rumor about the movie featuring a lesbian couple, saying that she didn't know if the characters were gay. She then made a joke about a transgender stingray: While DeGeneres' comment was made in jest (laughter from the interviewer is audible in the clip), several people missed the joke and claimed that Pixar's sequel to the 2003 movie Finding Nemo featured a transgender stingray: Rumors about the transgender stingray started circulating well before the movie was released, but no transgender characters actually showed up in the movie. Reviewers criticized DeGeneres for joking about transgender people: The StingRhonda character also doesn't appear on the movie's IMDB page, lending further weight that the character was nothing more than a joke from Degeneres.
