Scarlett O'Hara

This can go off topic to general transgender tolerance discussions but I read on a Facebook forum that people were saying Disney movies should have transgendered themes/characters. Others were arguing kids were to young to be watching such adult themes. The retort was that most transgender children know they are not the right gender by 'grade 5' apparently. Should we be encouraging themes like this in family movies to encourage tolerance in children (to reduce bullying amongst their peers) or is it not age appropriate?

Personally I wouldn't want my children watching movies with these kind of themes, I'd rather retain their innocence and teach them about tolerance myself. If I so happened to have a child that was transgendered I would wait until their older to make sure they know what they really want and make sure they get lots of education about it.
