[quote] [img]http://cdn.breitbart.com/mediaserver/Breitbart/Big-Hollywood/2013/05/28/SheZow.png[/img] A children’s network is launching a new show featuring a transsexual superhero. It’s called “Shezow.” The show follows the adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Guy who uses a magic ring to transform himself into a crime-fighting girl. When guy says the magic words “you go girl!” he becomes Shezow, wearing a purple skirt and cape, as well as pink gloves and white boots. It will air on the Hub Network.

Here come the angry soccer moms
I don't really see the point...
I'm pretty sure this is almost exactly the plot to a webcomic.
Didn't know Wonder Showzen was renewed for a season 3
yeah hi I'm for gay/trans rights and all but please [B]no[/B]
well, that's one way to introduce the concept
Word Girl could kick Shezow's ass.
Sounds more like a cross dresser than a transsexual.
The premise of the superhero is just doused in pointless political correctness and points trying to be made. What a shit idea.
theres nothing transsexual about this, its just cross-dressing played for laughs not a new concept by any means
I've heard about this before. Unless it's explicitly stated somewhere I haven't seen, I'm pretty sure this isn't about trans/LGBT or anytying, I think they're just making a really weird joke for their premise. The thing will probably be pretty average once you get over the premise, I'm guessing.
Seems like a pointless gimmick, but you never know.
...who is the target audience? Who will actually watch this?
i like how they actually named the protagonist "Guy" for a concept like this
Ranma 1/2?
[QUOTE=Waffle cones.;40835351]Children [quote=the thread title][B]Children's Network[/B] Launches Transsexual Superhero Show[/quote][/quote] doesn't necessarily mean that children will watch this
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;40835331]There's no reason to have a problem with this.[/QUOTE] well its a caricature, not an exploration of LGBT themes or a "step in the right direction".
[quote]When guy says the magic words “you go girl!” [/quote] ahahahahaha anyway this show is a bad idea because it gives the impression all transexuals have superpowers, while in fact less than 45% develop them, and that's after a successful operation

[QUOTE=thisispain;40835318]theres nothing transsexual about this, its just cross-dressing played for laughs not a new concept by any means[/QUOTE] Pretty much this, It's just drag. Someone must've thought "I know, how about we make a show where a boy becomes a superhero, but he's been given GIRL superpowers, lol, how ironic!"
Yeah this isn't exactly an original concept [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6e9vd3jxp1rrspk8o1_500.jpg[/img]
Yep, here we go. All aboard the conservative comment train! [IMG]http://puu.sh/34aba.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://puu.sh/34adL.png[/IMG]
I found this out a couple months ago, there's already porn of the character. Fuckin' internet. [sub]No I did not look that up on purpose, I found it by accident and learned of the character's existence this way.[/sub]
Great, now kids will believe that all transsexuals have superpowers...
This is the same network that shows Dan Vs, a show that is aimed at adults. Is it really a crime for a channel to show programming targeting at adults as well as children? While the Hub does show family friendly programming, it does cater to adults as well.
