Disney XD introduced its first male princess in a recent episode of “Star vs. The Forces of Evil.”

In the episode, Marco Diaz (Adam McArthur) disguises himself as Princess Turdina to save students from St. Olga’s Reform School for Wayward Princesses from the headmistress Ms. Heinous.

After Ms. Heinous reveals Princess Turdina is a boy by revealing his chest hair, the students chime in that boys can be princesses too.

“That doesn’t prove anything. Princesses can be hairy,” one princess yells.

“Why does it matter if he’s a boy? Nothing he said was wrong,” another princess calls out and another exclaims “He can be a princess if he wants to.”

The show also features Disney’s first same-sex kiss in an episode that aired in February.
