Megyn Kelly bashed the favored “Transformers” animated series for airing an episode during which non-binary characters go by they/them and she or he/they pronouns.
Kelly on Friday responded to a clip of “Transformers: EarthSpark” that was posted to Twitter, saying: “That is DISGUSTING.”
The podcaster — who has three kids between the ages of 9 and 13 — took issue with the cartoon after the Twitter account “Libs of TikTok” posted the clip Thursday.
“They’re after your kids,” the anti-woke user tweeted.
“Transformers: EarthSpark,” based on the robot toys created by Hasbro, has a core target market of youngsters ages 2 to 11 and airs on the streaming channel Paramount+.
Within the clip, Nightshade makes an introduction with they/them pronouns to a personality named Sam, whose pronouns are she/they.
Sam then shared her fears that “sometimes the world generally is a scary place. It’s hard to know who’s dangerous or not.”
She continued: “I do know I’m secure after I’m with my friends or other non-binary people.”
When Nightshade then questions what it means to be non-binary, Sam responds: “Individuals who aren’t female or male.”
“What an exquisite word for an exquisite experience,” Nightshade replies.
Nonetheless, only now could be the show spurring backlash from right-wing pundits, including Kelly, who called it “disgusting.”

Nickelodeon and Paramount+ didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.
The show is a reboot of the famed Eighties cartoon about Autobots and Decepticons. The primary 18-episode season debuted on Paramount+ in November 2022.
Kelly’s tweet condemning the youngsters’s show comes on the heels of her slamming the Navy’s use of an active-duty drag queen enlistee to be the military branch’s “digital ambassador” to draw recruits.
She said that whoever approved the choice “lost their minds,” adding that “this just isn’t anyone anybody wants in a foxhole with them,” during a broadcast of her SiriusXM podcast, “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
