Thomas & Friends (1984–2021)

The 'Thomas & Friends' series, a children's program about anthropomorphic trains, does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal of queer identity to evaluate within its narrative content.

Thomas & Friends is a children's animated series featuring anthropomorphic trains. The show does not depict any characters, male or female, engaging in direct physical combat or martial arts. Therefore, no instances of female characters defeating male opponents in such encounters are present.

The 1984-2021 series of Thomas & Friends introduced new female characters but did not alter the established genders of its core, pre-existing characters from The Railway Series books or earlier seasons. No characters canonically established as one gender were portrayed as a different gender.

The primary characters are anthropomorphic trains, which do not possess a race. Human characters like Sir Topham Hatt have consistently maintained their established race throughout the series. New human characters of diverse backgrounds have been introduced, but this does not constitute a race swap of existing, established characters.
