TV-kanalen 3sat sendte nylig kulturdokumentaren (på tysk): Who is afraid of gender madness? - The cultural struggle for gender. Programmet tar opp problemstillingene i Tyskland og Europa.

Det er kontroversielt å informere om kontroversielle bøker:

• Wesleyan University rektorblogg, 31.07.2018: On Political Correctness, Free Speech and Higher Education, University President Michael S. Roth
   
• National Coalition Against Censorship (US): Resource-page - LGBTQ Book Bans and Challenges
• National Coalition Against Censorship (US): What’s All This About Trigger Warnings? The emerging campus free speech problem might not be all that it seems. It could be worse. Students may demand that professors provide so-called ‘trigger warnings’ to flag material that might cause distress or discomfort, or possibly trigger a panic attack in students with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  A broad range of instructional materials, from a documentary about sexual assault to an historical account of slavery, could be considered 'triggering.' If professors steer clear of potentially controversial work, either out of concern for students' well-being or fear of getting in trouble with administrators, the free speech implications are enormous.
