kids would see through it. i know my kids would always point and ask about trannies as early as 5. the answer is always the same
no one really loved them when they were growing up, so they developed a deviant lifestyle to compensate.
Thread ender.

Well, kids who know nothing about drag queens or transexuals, wouldn't be aware that Mrs. Doubtfire was a actor dressed a woman. I think people who were at Bridges, when Daniel revealed himself as Mrs. Doubtfire, would not let their kids watch the show.

He was dressed up as an old woman.
It's hard to tell.
Whereas if a guy dresses up as a younger woman with a lot of makeup, you can easily tell it's a man.
Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up. -

Even if the kids new, kids watch Mr. Dressup, and that actor himself dressed up. Kids also dress up all time for Halloween and things like that, so they are aware of the concept of pretending and imagination.
They are not going to be traumatized just because they found out that an actor was not who they thought he was. -

Im swedish and here in Sweden it wouldnt be a big thing.
When I was very young in the 80s (born 1983) there was a very popular duo named Ola Strm & Per Duns that did tv-programs for children and many of the characters in those programs was Ola & Per in drag. In many of their tv-series, one of them played an middle-aged woman named Hjrdis (the other guy played the role as her husband) that always flirted with other men.
I guess that here in Europe we have a long tradition of theatrical entertainment like revue and farce where male actors often plays women-characters as a comic relief. -

I don't know why some people hit the panic button when it comes to children having to deal with men dressing as women.
I mean what if there was a TV show where an actor dressed as a bear? What's more dangerous to a child? A transvestite or a bear? -

Cuz people, parents especially, have sticks up their asses. Look at the backlash there was when it came out that Barney, was a gay, black man, dressed as a dinosaur. I mean, who give a sh*t?
Was that why the Barney Show quietly went away? I was wondering whatever happened to Barney. one minute Barney was "cool", suddenly he wasn't. -

the thing TOOTSIE and MDF have in common is the men playing woman are not attractive.
if a pretty man played a woman it'd be cringe for most.
but these guys it's funny.
