I need more than a trailer to make an informed comment....there's a first for everything.

I think you can see more of the Australian version on YouTube.

What gets me is the conservative media and groups are already jumping all over this without the show even being on yet in the US.

It's not like it's the first gender-bending cartoon or show. I can think of many off the top of my head, like Ranma 1/2, Mrs. Doubtfire, etc. Maybe the difference is that this show is on a dedicated children's network and that the "she" is the superhero.
