The FCC, led by Trump-appointed chairman Brendar Carr, wants feedback about whether the TV industry’s voluntary ratings need to be tweaked — specifically with regard to how shows with child-friendly ratings treat content with “transgender and gender nonbinary” themes.

The agency’s Media Bureau notice seeking comment, issued Wednesday, says the deadline for comments is May 22 with reply comments due June 22. The proceeding is filed under MB Docket No. 19-41.
