Imagine you are a parent concerned about your child viewing inappropriate content. You rely on the usual parental guidelines, such as “TV-MA,” to select age-appropriate shows. But what if those apparently age-appropriate shows essentially promote gender ideology and transgenderism without any warning?
You might be forgiven for worrying that this is part of a plot to “trans the kids”—a component of a leftist agenda to undermine traditional family roles as it tills the ground for the coming neo-Marxist revolution (see, e.g., here and here), specifically leveraging media’s influence on culture. But such a conspiracy is certainly not required to conclude that parents should be warned about sexual orientation and gender transition themes in programming. But is this ratings system, long a tool, if an imperfect one, compelled speech or censorship?
