Shezow... wow...

[kariann330]

More like twelve moms..

I know, but still, this is the organization that called an "intimates" banner with a picture of a woman wearing a bra porn....i bet those 12 moms will bomb them with emails till the show is pulled...hell they are trying to have pride day at Disney shut down....this will really piss them off lol.

I say this is amazing. It's about time that boys with feminine sides get representation, because there's already tons of masculine girl representation out there. After watching that, it seems to take a positive spin and less deprecative than it could've been. Of course we'll have to wait and see, but I'm hoping something good comes of it.

Okay, so I found the first episode embedded within a commentary.

This show reminds me a little bit of the old sitcom, "The Greatest American Hero."

I'm watching this right now, and it's not bad.

But still, I don't feel like it'll do anything but make us more of a laughing stock and target.

I would hate for some kid to be like "So you're like Shezow? My mommy and daddy told me that people like you and Shezow are bad." And believe me, parents will tell their children something to that effect. That or make fun of us trans people.

If my little cousin (who doesn't know I'm trans) saw this, he'd laugh and think the main character was a weirdo. And his parents would probably get upset at him for watching it and tell him that people like the main character are bad. Is that harmless?

I don't see this as something super terrible, but it's certainly not good in any way. In my opinion at least.

No that's something else in itself.
That's a child growing up in a backward household that will most likely end up just as bad as his parents.

This might just open a few minds up, it doesn't and most likely wont show in Australia but I wish it would.



Please, no name-calling

..Nicole, not everyone grows up to be like their parents.

My parents let me watch Totally Spies, Sailor Moon and other feminine shows when I was young, and my dad particularly is very conservatively christian. It may not be as big of an issue as you'd think. Plus, by the time they're growing up, I'm sure the percent of teens who support LGBT topics will be huge anyways (even compared to now).

Can we try not to offend people plz. Im a red blooded redneck with gas, mud and gunpowder flowin thru her veins who would rather live in a trailer on 16+ acres then the suburbs or the city.

Watching a show with female protagonists is kind of different from watching a show with a boy that turns into a girl superhero.

Forgot to mention Mulan.

[Nicole]

sorry, just read that it has aired here.


As for upsetting people, I'm sorry, however I'm fed up with people defending anyone who is so stuck in their hateful ways.

if you're an Australian on these boards you'll know about a case on Friday night of a 13 year old girl calling a champion footballer an "ape".
This was defended by some saying she's only 13, age is not an excuse, so is saying its what god wants or its how she was rised. Her dumb mother was defending her saying she didn't know it would upset someone whose black.

Its the same as homophobia, I'm sick of hearing about gays not allowed to marry, I'm sick of hearing of a transwoman being asked to leave a clothing store and I'm sick of "that is wrong".

[Darkie]

Forgot to mention Mulan.

Yea, but she did that under her own choice in order to save her father and bring honor to her family.  Same with Joan of Arc.  It's different.  And Nicole, I'm not defending people.  I was raised in a very christian household and I'm not a backward.

[toxicblue]

But that's a girl dressing up as a boy. The opposite is almost never accepted



Trans girls are, in general, harder for people to stomache than trans guys. (imo, and of course there are exceptions!)

And that's exactly my point. There needs to be a start somewhere, and I think Shezow will most likely do it.

Shezow will garner ridicule for us. What else could it accomplish? It doesn't display gender noncomformity in a respectable or realistic light. It's made out to be stupid and silly.

I watched a little of the episode and found nothing wrong.  It seems to be a harmless kids show.  I doubt it will have a positive or negative impact either way. This isn't going to make or break the trans community.

Now, if only I can find a shezow ring in real life.

The show is enjoyable for me as well.

But what about kids who will be confused by it? This will reinforce or introduce the notion that boys who dress and behave like girls are funny and even weird.

I am breathing, but i REFUSE to have my Southern US heritage defamed by people using the words redneck , hick, hillbilly etc. in an insulting manner.

Doubtful in my opinion.  The protagonist is shown in a positive light.  If anything, the character is represented as someone to like.  They aren't portraying the character as weird.  Of course, there will be a backlash against the show from the those who say "that's gay", but that attitude isn't directly being reinforced by the show.  It seems to me that it would have more positive than negative impact on crossdressing.  Still, I don't think most people will associate the shows with the transgender community so I wouldn't hold your breath for any major improvements either.

I am old enough to remember seeing "Amos and Andy" re-runs on television.  It was a show full of bigoted humor and streotypes.  There were many parents to taught their kids that "negros" were sub-human, dumb, lazy, and so on.

Then an interesting thing happened.  Desilu studios, in 1965, cast a young black man in one of the two lead roles of a action series called "I Spy."  The actor was an aspiring comedian, but the role was of a brave, articulate, Rhodes scholar, who spoke several languages.  Race was never an issue.  The actor who played opposite of Robert Culp was Bill Cosby.

The show was not shown in some parts of the USA.  Small minds will always be closed, but the show opened the eyes of many in the younger, baby-boomer generation.  I was one of them.

Many of you are too young to have seen, or even recognize, the cultural revolution this nation has been through.  Not just with racial minorities, but with women's rights, gay and lesbian rights, personal freedoms, and all sorts of other advances.  The job's not over.  But every time the spotlight is put on inequalities, positive changes will happen.

It is a matter of winning hearts and minds.  Building bridges instead of walls.

You might be talking about a cartoon in the topic.  But I am seeing a new bridge be built.
