Transgender in Disney

Since transsexuality is an inherently sexual subject, it doesn't seem appropriate to start teaching children about it until they are deemed old enough to learn about sexual subjects. In California, this is around 5th-6th grade (or ages 11-13). That being said, I don't think it could possibly hurt to include homosexual and transgender characters in children's films/shows, as long as the goal in doing so is to show that being transgender/homosexual is perfectly normal/acceptable.
