I know there's no trans character but, when I was in HS (early 90s), we had to watch one of a selection of a cold war movies as part of our American History II class. The boys were falling all over themselves to get MASH (and Wolverine). I went with an easy pick that no one wanted (Manchurian Candidate, starring Evil!Angela Lansbury), but checked out MASH just because it was running on cable at the same time. I was infuriated. Neither of the teachers who team-taught that class seemed to find anything wildly objectionable (though I wouldn't be in the best place to know since obviously I didn't write a paper on it). They were huge MASH devotees, like a lot of Baby Boomers (I know this because they kept photos on their office walls), but I can't see the movie on cable for more than five seconds without having anger-fueled fantasies of Hoolihan stabbing Hawkeye in his sleep.
