CHILDREN'S NETWORK LAUNCHES TRANSSEXUAL SUPERHERO SHOW
Nothing says “child-appropriate material” quite like gender-bending underage superheroes.
At least that’s the theory over at the Hub, the network co-owned by Discovery and Hasbro, which is trotting out its latest soon-to-be-dud, SheZow.
That 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.
Yes, you read that correctly. 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.
The chief executive of the Hub, who may or may not have been high (and leftist) when she greenlit this project, is Margaret Loesch.
Loesch commented, “When I first heard about the show, my reaction was ‘Are you out of your minds?’ Then I looked at it and I thought, ‘This is just funny.’”
The target audience for the Hub is children aged two to eleven.
Ben Shapiro is Editor-At-Large of Breitbart News and author of the New York Times bestseller “Bullies: How the Left’s Culture of Fear and Intimidation Silences America” (Threshold Editions, January 8, 2013).

No, but did Heinlein portray the sex morphers as assuming the identities of a staunchly conservative Christian sect?
Come on.
The nation that elected bubba, the hilabeast, dead ted, weiner-schnitzel, lia-a-hauntis, and the Obamadork-felon deserves just this.
Same quality, intellect, and morals.
meh. They stole the idea from anime.
Which is often used as pornography in Asian countries where the characters engage in very graphic sexual acts and is viewed by teens all over the world. I discovered that when I found it on my sons computer many years ago and confronted him about it.
The best way to put an end to this garbage is to stop sending these idiots a check.
Yep, Ranma 1/2
I thought that was the M.O. Of Jem of Jem and the Hooligans.....
I am joking by the way....
What happens if they get knocked up while they are transformed, what happens to the fetus when they tranform back and when they transform back again are they still preganant and what are the philisophical ramifications of such things and oh mhy I have just gone cross-eyed....
No ... it was far weirder than that ... male brain transplanted into female body, in which some of the female consciousness still resided. It went downhill from there ... IMO, it marked RAH’s descent into madness, and the end of my interest in him as a worthwhile author.
May all of these disgusting perverts die a painful death.
What happens when they can put a brain into a robot body.... Then you could technically jam a human brain into a body of Robot Rinoscerous and create an army of John McCain's....
Homosexual indoctrination. This should be prosecuted as child abuse.
People who run those channels are just as perverted as the people who run the other channels.
Weird. Was he senile or on drugs? lol
He was neither senile nor on drugs ... he was a libertarian atheist (borderline anti-theist, IMO, certainly anti-religion) and it shows in his writing. In many respects, he seems to me to reject the idea of objective right and wrong. That is, with the usual libertarian atheist exception that belief in a supreme being or worship thereof is wrong.
In case you didn’t know ... Robert Heinlein was a science fiction writer.
I know that. I have written science fiction stories too, I just never finish them.
OK ... just making sure. IWFNE would be even weirder than it is had it been written by a novelist in any other genre.
I have written science fiction stories too, I just never finish them.
Creative writing isn't as easy as it looks ... and anybody knows who has actually tried it.
