FCC wants to "gender police" kids' TV shows by adding warnings about trans characters - LGBTQ Nation
"The FCC announced that it's seeking to overhaul the TV ratings system to flag the 'promotion' of 'controversial gender identity issues.' Parents have raised concerns that controversial gender identity issues are being included or promoted in children's programs without providing any disclosure or transparency to parents."
"The notice posed two questions the FCC says parents should now be asking: 'Are parents aware that children watching programs rated TV-Y, TV-Y7 and TV-G may contain the discussion or promotion of gender identity themes?'"
"The FCC also wants to revisit the different standards originally imposed on legacy broadcast networks versus streaming and other digital platforms, reflecting the evolving landscape of media consumption."
The FCC is proposing changes to the TV ratings system to address parental concerns regarding the inclusion of gender identity themes in children's programming. The inquiry aims to determine if current ratings adequately inform parents about content in shows rated TV-Y, TV-Y7, and TV-G. The FCC is also considering whether programming should be rated differently or include descriptions to help parents make informed choices. This initiative reflects a broader scrutiny of how gender identity issues are presented in media aimed at children.
