As PBS prepares to defend itself at a Wednesday Congressional hearing, the Monday edition of Amanpour and Company seemed oblivious to the stakes the network faces. Guest host Bianna Golodryga welcomed transgender Nashville city council member Olivia Hill to not only declare there are “at least three genders” but also that people who transition the other way acquire “male privilege,” as evidenced by the fact that nobody questions their presence in sports.
Golodryga began by noting, “Well, there's -- what we heard from Gavin Newsom and his views on the issue as it relates to fairness. But he's not alone. Rahm Emanuel said that, quote, ‘Some kids in classroom are debating which pronouns apply. The rest of the class doesn't know what a pronoun is. That's the crisis.’ And we also know former Transportation Secretary under Biden, Pete Buttigieg, removed his pronouns from his profile on X recently.
She then asked, “So, I guess my question to you is, why do you think that an issue that really relates to or impacts a smaller swath of the U.S. population was not an issue that the Democratic Party could effectively challenge and address head on the way the Republicans ran with it?”
