Jess👾There's not a doubt in my mind that if Mr. Rogers had known about trans kids, he would have invited them onto his show, shown them love, and taught a lesson to all of his viewers about pronouns.
Allen Stenhaus@JessTheUnstill I absolutely have no doubt. In fact, IIRC, when he learned about trans & nonbinary people, he updated one of his songs to be more inclusive, because he didn't want *any* children to feel left out.
Bigots use the original version as "proof" he was on "their" side, but ignore that he later updated the song when he learned he was unintentionally excluding people.
Just like inviting the black postman into his kiddy pool, he led by example. We need more like him.
