The decision for Rachel to come out came from the people who made the original Rocko's Modern Life. Reasons that probably had a lot to do with the trans storyline. In fact, the special was finished back in 2017, but Nickelodeon hesitated to release the special for as-of-now unconfirmed reasons. The specials were finished long before Netflix purchased streaming rights. Netflix had nothing to do with any creative decisions behind Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, just as they have no creative influence behind the upcoming Invader Zim special. RELATED: Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling to Feature a Transgender Character On Nickelodeon's suggestion, Murray consulted the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) to ensure that the script avoided any transphobic jokes or scenes. The special, long before Netflix signed a deal to debut it, was going to feature Rachel Bighead coming out as trans. The show's creator and Rachel's voice actor, Joe Murray, took extra care to write Rachel in a way that was accurate and representative of the trans experience.
