Character description
Biography
Behind the scenes
Writer of the episode and creator of the character, Joan Ford, intended for Shaley to be a transexual girl,[1] although the series was cancelled before those plans could be fully realized.[2] Ford would've preferred a trans actor to be the voice of Shaley, but the budget wouldn't allow for an additional guest.[3]
Ford also got to be involved with the design of Shaley, and was pleased with the final look, which she felt was a little bit relatable particularly with Shaley's bang over one of her eyes.[4]

I think she's the first LGTBQ character to appear in a Flintstones show. (There have already been some in the comics).". Twitter. Retrieved March 15, 2021.

And then mention that she's trans later down the line. NBD! Sadly, the production order on the series was cut and that never got to happen.". Twitter. Retrieved March 15, 2021.
