At the beginning of Friday’s “Kontrapunkt”, a series of interviews broadcast by TVP Info at 5:35 p.m., Piotr Maślak cited several examples of successful athletes at the Olympic Games who are biologically male.
Maślak asked Magdalena Grzbyb – a lawyer and criminologist who deals, among other things, with various aspects of the participation of these athletes in competitions with other women – gender issues in law and biologist Łukasz Sakowski, which had an interrupted transition.
The discussion sparked a lot of criticism on social media, including on the X platform. – @maslak_piotr hosted today’s Kontrapunkt program on TVP Info, to which anti-trans activists were invited and hate speech against trans and intersex people was used. Do you agree with calling transitions “castration” and intersex women “men”? – Maja Heban asked.

– No, I’m giving up, I was hoping that in this “Kontrapunkt” they would at least invite someone from the “other side” and that Sakowski would be there for pluralism… AND BESIDES SAKOWSKI, THEY INVITE MAGDALENA GRZYB, UNTIL I HAD TO CHECK IF THIS ISN’T REPUBLIKA TV – wrote Adam Kościelak.
– I know several political commentators who love to talk about pluralism, freedom of speech and openness. For some reason, they never protest in such situations. They don’t care that, for example, trans people cannot vote, Tomasz Markiewka noted.
Piotr Maślak commented on these views on Monday. – Due to the questioning of the competences of the guests of the program dedicated to gender in sport, we will return to the topic next Friday. We will invite people in consultation with organizations representing the transgender community. We care about the scientific perspective – we want to invite such guests, – he announced.
Piotr Maślak has been associated with Telewizja Polska since January 2024, he became the director of the agency that creates journalism, documentaries and social programs.
Previously, he worked at TOK FM, and before that at TVP from 2009 to January 2016. He led, among others, the magazine “Puls Polski” and news services at TVP Info, and also prepared materials for “Wiadomości”. Previously, he was the host of, among others, “Coffee or Tea” on TVP1 or the magazine “Kontakt” on TVP2. He was dismissed by the public broadcaster at the beginning of Jacek Kurski’s presidency.
