At first the concept of Shezow sounds like a progressive show with a good message. A cartoon about a cross dressing boy superhero. But the show it's self is very sexist and homophobic. It's humor is very demeaning to women. The cartoon so called humor is full of sexist puns against women. And the biggest concern we have for Shezow is it's strongly suggest it is ok to make fun of transgender people. The cartoon enforcing it's funny and it's alright to make fun of people that don"t dress in a gender roll. Consider the high Suicide rate of LGBT teens. For the people who made the cartoon series and The Hub Channel planing to air Shezow We strongly recommend you take our concerns we have seriously.

I really started this out of a personal sense of frustration because I felt like something was being overlooked. Reading through the comments has been an eye opening experience for me and I am truly humbled by how many of you share these exact same concerns.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this effort to address serious concerns about the show. It is entirely due to your willingness to speak up that this message is gaining real momentum.

Get this off the air immediately. Way too much offensive stereotyping for a cartoon.

Gross. My nephew saw this and kept asking questions about why they were making fun of the way people dress. Not okay.

Just wrong. Bullying isnt a joke especially for kids who are already struggling. Do better.

Total disrespect to the trans community. Why is this even allowed to be on a kids network? Unbelievable.
