Here’s How You Can Fight Back Against TV Shows Pushing the Transgender Woke Agenda on Your Kids

The LGBTQ+ agenda for brainwashing your kids isn’t subtle. Activists often chant, “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.”

Parents who wish to protect impressionable young kids from the noxious idea that Billy can become Sally don’t just need to watch their local elementary school—they need to remain on alert at the library and, perhaps most especially, in front of the television.

Concerned Women for America analyzed the streaming shows on Netflix geared toward young audiences, and found that more than 40% of most children’s programming includes some sort of LGBTQ+ theme.

But there’s good news here: you can help put a stop to it.

The FCC Comment Portal

The Federal Communications Commission is seeking comment from the general public, asking for suggestions on how the Television Oversight Monitoring Board can update TV ratings in order to alert parents to hidden LGBTQ+ messaging. Members of the public have until May 22 to submit comments.

Congress passed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, seeking to protect parents’ right to decide when and how to discuss mature topics with their children, enabling them to know if and when children may be exposed to these topics on TV.

The law spurred the creation of the Television Oversight Monitoring Board, which developed seven ratings for content: a TV-Y rating means “appropriate for all children;” TV-Y7 means designed for children ages 7 and above; TV-G means suitable for all ages; TV-Y7-FV involves fantasy violence and is designed for older children; TV-PG means parental guidance suggested; TV-14 involves content parents would find unsuitable for kids under 14; and TV-MA means content for mature audiences.

‘Gay Agenda’ in Kids’ Content

Concerned Women for America found that 41% of TV-G-rated series and 41% of TV-Y7-rated series on Netflix contain LGBTQ+ content. In 2023, 60% of the new Netflix shows rated appropriate for kids (TV-G, TV-Y, and TV-Y7) had LGBTQ+ characters, themes, or messaging.

Concerned Women for America noted that TV-Y programs such as “The Magic School Bus: The School Bus Rides Again” included a transgender-coded chameleon and a lesbian couple, while “Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City” included a transgender character. Even 21% of TV-Y content, which is supposedly most tailored for young kids, included LGBTQ+ messaging.

In 2022, Latoya Raveneau, executive producer for Disney Television Animation, bragged that “showrunners were super welcoming … to my not-at-all-secret gay agenda.”

Sometimes, the transgender messaging can prove quite subtle. I remember watching the show “Baymax” on Disney+ with my 3-year-old. My son loves “Big Hero 6” (2014), so we started watching the spinoff show. One episode focuses on tampons, aiming to make young female audiences more comfortable with puberty—a laudable goal. Yet the episode also features a clearly transgender character, a female who identifies as male and appears masculine (while wearing clothing that matches the transgender flag) speaking about “his” own tampon use.

Upending Biology, Victimizing Kids

This small mention of transgender identity may appear harmless enough. After all, it went right over my son’s unsuspecting head. But in those few seconds, the show explicitly endorsed an ideology that subverts biology and basic justice—and leads kids down a path of lifelong harm.

Transgender ideology preaches that a boy can “become” a girl or vice versa—that an internal “sense” of gender overrides one’s biological sex. The movement encourages experimental medical interventions that attempt to reshape naturally sexed bodies to artificially resemble those of the opposite sex.

The movement also demands that girls’ restrooms, changing rooms, and even prisons be opened to men who claim to identify as transgender. The high-profile case of a boy assaulting girls in Loudoun County, Virginia, restrooms and men assaulting women in women’s prisons across the world should put a definitive end to these demands.

Yet arguably the worst abuse of transgender ideology is how it harms the young people who undergo sex-rejecting procedures. This grotesque form of “care” leaves patients stunted, scarred, and infertile.

The Department of Health and Human Services has concluded that there is little evidence for positive impacts from transgender medical interventions on minors, but it found many documented harms.

A jury awarded a detransitioner $2 million, finding that the medical professionals who carried out sex-rejecting procedures on her were liable for medical malpractice.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons released a statement recommending against transgender surgery for minors under 19, leading other medical associations to follow suit.

America must reject this ideology, root and branch, for sanity, justice, and the health of our children.

Exposing the Transgender Trojan Horse

That’s why it’s utterly infuriating that LGBTQ+ activists can get away with smuggling sexualized and transgender messages into these shows, while still giving them a TV-Y rating.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk captured the problem well with a meme showing a Trojan horse bringing the “transgender woke agenda” into the sanctuary of your home to target “your kids.”

Parents across America should join me in writing comments to the FCC, encouraging accountability.

The FCC should revamp its ratings to expose this Trojan horse for what it is.

The noxious ideology of transgenderism does not belong in children’s streaming content, and FCC rules should empower parents to avoid exposing their kids to this poison.
