Transgenderism seems to have been explored quite a bit in comics recently (Batgirl, Storm Dogs, FF, Red Hood And The Outlaws etc) and now it'll be the basic for a new cartoon. But while those comic books are aimed at teens, She-Zow will target a younger audience in an attempt to raise awareness and promote understanding of the concept early on.



"A 12-year-old boy — named Guy — uses a magic ring to transform himself into a legendary crime fighter. When evil lurks, Guy says, “You go girl!” and becomes SheZow."


Obviously like most things of this nature, there are those for and against the idea. You can read more about it over at The LA Times, but be sure to sound off with your thoughts on the matter below.
