A trans woman recorded a video at Disneyland using Minnie Mouse cake pops and chocolate-covered marshmallows to explain how her penis will soon be surgically transformed into a vagina.
The video shared by @lillytino_, who has 85,000 followers, has received more than 5,500 likes so far.
In it, Lilly Contino, from Atlanta, Georgia, explains how the procedure will be carried out, avoiding the use of words that refer to the genitals.
Contino recorded the video during a trip to the theme park with her mother and was not invited by Disney.
“I’m about to get kicked out of Disney,” he begins, before going on to explain that his surgery hasn’t gone as planned.
The video of Lily Contino at Disneyland, wearing Minnie Mouse cake pops, sees her talking about her upcoming gender-affirming surgery without using explicit terms.
Contino used food metaphors to maintain discretion, ensuring that nearby children would not necessarily understand the content of the conversation if they had listened.
“Last summer, I was about to have my cake pops taken away,” he says, holding up a pair of Minnie Mouse chocolate-covered cake pops to act as testicles.
“The plan until recently was to turn my marshmallow wand into a marshmallow tunnel,” he explains while holding up another sugary treat that acts as a penis and vagina.
‘Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, I noticed some hair growing back on my marshmallow wand. “That’s bad, because the outside of the wand is what becomes the inside of the tunnel, so you don’t want hair growing there or it’s very uncomfortable,” he explains.
“So I talked to my surgeon and he said it would be best to postpone the procedure until the hair removal was complete,” continues Contino, 31, wearing plastic Minnie Mouse ears and a pink T-shirt with the message “Pride.” Rainbows in Disney characters.
“This is obviously disappointing because I was so excited to have a marshmallow tunnel before,” she says.
“That said, it’s still happening, but we’re not sure when it will happen.” Hair removal is a fickle thing and it’s very difficult to predict when it will end, but my hair removal technician thinks it will be before the end of the year.

“So let’s keep our fingers crossed!” she continues, before taking a bite of the chocolate-covered marshmallow and offering it to her mother, who is sitting at the same table listening to her daughter’s surgical explanation.
The video generated a lot of responses, with many people outraged that Contino would choose arguably the most kid-friendly place on the planet to discuss the most personal procedures.
The Instagram video was bombarded with people criticizing her decision to share her personal news at the Disney theme park.
“This is not the appropriate place to post this update,” wrote emma__esthetician.
‘This conversation is inappropriate at Disneyland and shows that you are not in your right mind. Do it better!’ laurel.archambault added.
The Instagram video was bombarded with people criticizing her choices.
She even said “they are going to kick us out.” “Obviously she felt it was inappropriate too,” OohlookitsLaura added.
‘I don’t know if it’s just me, but you seem to really like trying your luck. “It’s like you’re trying to antagonize the fans but also give them the ammunition they need to justify their cruel decisions,” said shaunna_171717.
“It’s disgusting that you’re using kids’ candy at Disneyland to describe man parts…we’re proud of who you are and there’s nothing to hide, but there’s a time, a place and limits.” And they crossed paths. Like why was this necessary…’, trinitilynnx0 wondered.
However, there was also praise for the fact that he had chosen to disguise the intricate and graphic details using food terms.
The fact that they chose to disguise graphic details using food terms was also praised.
‘To the people complaining about the location of this conversation, she is literally using food terms so that any child who is nearby literally has no idea what she is talking about. Relax,” wrote Sleepy Mama.
Several commenters rejoiced that, although the detail was graphic, anyone who had overheard or overheard the conversation probably wouldn’t have known exactly what was being discussed.
‘If a child hears that, he is talking about sweets… some people can be very malicious…’, added sabrina.machado.102.
‘Those who complain about her discussing it at Disney grow up. “I’ve heard much worse conversations at Disney without decent use of food terms, and besides, I’m sure she didn’t sit next to a kid and start talking like that,” pinellaspointofnoreturn said.
Contino, 31, previously appeared when she secretly recorded restaurant staff repeatedly referring to her as “sir” and again posted it on social media.
In a video from October 2023, she accused restaurant servers of misgendering her, but some users criticized her for a “self-centered power trip” targeting innocent staff.

In the video she accused the restaurant’s waiters of confusing her with her gender, but some users also criticized her for an “egocentric power trip” directed at innocent staff.
When restaurant staff said “thank you sir” or “yes sir,” she could be heard correcting them: “I use she/her pronouns.” I’m not sir. I specifically asked not to be called sir.
“It’s always like a knife in the heart. It always hurts,” she expressed the emotional impact of having been mistreated in front of the camera.
“I don’t need to be called ma’am, I just need to not be called sir,” she can be heard saying in the October 2023 clip.
