Trans characters are not adult-oriented entertainment

[flamingsword]

With many thanks to S. Baum and Erin in the Morning for their words and timely reportage:

Today, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr announced that the FCC would be seeking comment on whether the TV Parental Guidelines rating system needs to be changed to address shows with transgender or nonbinary characters.

If you, like me, trust Trump’s FCC chairman no farther than you can throw him, then please feel free to register your dissent.

The public comment period is open now through May 22, 2026. Anyone can submit comments opposing this effort through the FCC's Comment Filing System under MB Docket No. 19-41. LGBTQ+ organizations, parents, animators, and allies are encouraged to make their voices heard—the FCC is required to consider all comments submitted during the period.
